2.1 Local Environment (P.16)
• Reading
4. Read the article and answer the questions. (P.17)
1. How many people took part in the survey?

• Use the present perfect continuous to talk about an ongoing situation or action that started in the past and is still continuing.
e.g.
Sea levels have been rising.
The climate has been getting warmer.
• Compare the use of the present perfect continuous with the present perfect simple.
e.g.
We’ve been painting the house. (continuing action)
We’ve painted the house. (completed action)
• We also use the present perfect continuous to talk about the reason for something in the present. We are more interested in the activity than the result.
e.g.
Why are you wet?
Because I’ve been washing the car.
Is the car ready?
Yes, I’ve washed it. (So now it is ready.)
! To describe repeated actions we use the present perfect simple, not the present perfect continuous.
e.g.
I’ve watched that film ten times.
I’ve been watching that film ten times.
8. Underline the most appropriate form. Sometimes both forms are correct.
