Задание: Read the text and put the verbs into the Present Perfect or Present Perfect Continuous.
We (go) hiking with my grandfather for 5 years, and I like it so much. The jackets are bright and cool, and we still use a compass. But I (look) for a cool rucksack for ages. My old one is good, but it's plain. I (just, find) an ideal one! It's huge, coloured, and there are a lot of pockets. Also, the chest strap on the rucksack has a built-in whistle on the buckle. I (come) to realize just how useful having that whistle can be in a survival situation. I (try) to find the perfect rucksack for months and I (never, see) anything like that before. All those pockets and straps, each of them must have a specific purpose!
