That mean that only the sales staff have driven it.
Oh, well, let’s just look at the new ones then.

15. THE FIGHT (present perfect passive and active)
It is a hot day in the Philippines. In an isolated part of the sea, a Dutch guy and a Filipino are on a boat fighting for their lives. Are they fighting with sticks? Are they fighting with knives? Are they using their fists? Are they using their teeth? The Dutch guy’s name is Herman. The Filipino guy’s name is Marvin. The two of them fight like wild animals. A big ugly guy with a beard attacks Herman. Herman punches him. Have you ever punched anybody? Have you ever been punched?
Below deck Herman finds four prisoners. They are his girlfriend, a Japanese girl called Naoko, and three Filipino divers called Gill, Melvin and Raymond. They are locked up. Have you ever been locked up? Have you ever locked anybody up?
Under the water, some divers are looking for Yamashita’s gold. The divers come up. Herman and Marvin tie them up. They tie everybody up. Do they tie them up with rope or chains? Have you ever tied anybody up? Have you ever been tied up? Marvin goes to the helm. He starts the boat. Have you ever driven a boat? The boat motors to a nearby island. A Japanese antique dealer called Taro and an Israeli businessman called Mr Silberstein and a World war two Japanese soldier called Kenzaburo are waiting on the beach. Mr Silberstein shouts at the prisoners. Have you ever been shouted at? Have you ever shouted at anybody? Kenzaburo ties the prisoners to a tree. Have you ever been tied to a tree? Have you ever tied somebody to a tree?
Naoko wants to go home. Marvin wants to kill the prisoners. Mr Silberstein wants to look for the treasure. Herman wants to call the police. They argue. What would you do? Are the police in the Philippines corrupt? Are the police everywhere corrupt? Would you be corrupt if you were a cop? Is being a policeman a good job?
What should they do with the treasure?

14. THE PLAN (general patterns)
Five people are sitting on a beach on an isolated island in the Philippines. One of them is a Dutch environmentalist called Herman. One of them is a Japanese antique dealer called Taro. One of them is a Filipino diver called Marvin. One of them is an Israeli treasure hunter called Mr. Silberstein. The other one is a World War Two Japanese soldier called Kenzaburo. What are they all wearing?
The old soldier talks about the search for Yamashita’s treasure. He has seen many boats. How many has he seen? Recently he has seen a big boat with divers. The divers have brought up part of the treasure. The crew of the same boat has stolen Mr. Silberstein’s boat and kidnapped Naoko and the other three crew members. Is Uncle Taro worried? Would you be worried if you were him?
The five castaways make a plan. That night they sleep in Kenzaburo’s house. Is it a large house? Is it on stilts? Does the roof leak? Are there mosquitoes? Is there a fireplace in the house? How many rooms are there? What is the house made of?
In the morning the five men eat coconuts and bananas and mangoes. Is eating fruit healthy? Is it difficult to get enough food on the island? Is Kenzaburo in good health? After breakfast, Herman and Marvin build a raft. Kenzaburo has tools. In the afternoon the treasure hunters boat returns to the site of the shipwreck. The boat anchors and some divers go down and begin to bring up the treasure.
Herman and Marvin float out towards the boat on the raft. It takes two hours to reach it. The treasure hunters think Herman and Marvin are dead. Late in the afternoon Herman and Marvin sneak onto the boat. Suddenly somebody sees them. There is a struggle.
Herman fights like a tiger. Marvin fights like a wild monkey.
