Hello,
I can't imagine what kind of ingredients can be that somebody keeps always with him/her.?
I never keep any ingredients with me. |

It seems quite a nonsensical sentence to me too, Kati!
I don't think I'd choose any of those four answers. They all seem so silly. I think it's a very poorly written question.

Yes Bez, I thought that the writer could think of salt-shaker and pepper-shaker because I heard already about people who carry with themselves these ingredients. Do you think we have to imagine this sentence in this way?
Many thanks:

Hi,
'
This test is based on a story I wrote and if you read the previous tests, you will see that it does make sense and isn't as 'nonsensical' as it might appear!
It never gets you anywhere http://www.english-test.net/lessons/1/index.html

| But Sally changed the subject. "This drink tastes delicious. How did you make it?" — "I put a drop of ginger ale and a piece of lemon in the alcohol and then stir thoroughly. I always keep those two ingredients with me when I go out at night." Suddenly Sally looked at her watch: "I must fly. My train leaves in ten minutes." — "Don't forget to take those tablets I suggested and let me know how you are." — "I'll let you know as soon as I come back from London." And then she went. |

Hello Alan,
I didn't really read this previous test. I have to say that I thought of not only the salt and the pepper but I thought of any ingredients of drinks, because I heard about this kind of things in my long life.
Many thanks:

Many thanks Alan,
I am sorry that I didn't read the previous test and It never gets you anywhere. essay.This would have explained everything.
"This drink tastes delicious. How did you make it?" — "I put a drop of ginger ale and a piece of lemon in the alcohol and then stir thoroughly. I always keep those two ingredients with me when I go out at night."
With the simple present the story became more lively. Is this true?
