BUY NOTHING DAY
People have been celebrating 'Buy Nothing Day' for about three decades. It started in 1993 in Canada and is now an international event in 55 countries. It has always fallen on the day after Thanksgiving in the US and on November 26th in the rest of the world. On this day, people try their best not to buy anything at all for the whole day. The idea is to make people stop and think about what they buy and how their spending habits affect the Earth's natural environment. Just a little effort can make a big difference. Let's take a look at what happens on Buy Nothing Day around the world...

Today we're celebrating Buy Nothing Day at our school by holding an Eco-bazaar. We have been working hard on it all week. All the students have brought in a few items from home that are still in good condition. We receive coupons in return for each item. Now we are using the coupons to swap for other things. Erica, 15

We have decided to do simple things on Buy Nothing Day. We've walked to school instead of taking the bus and we've asked our parents not to go to the supermarket. James, 16
В тексте два предложения в Present Perfect Continuous:
- People have been celebrating 'Buy Nothing Day' for about three decades.
- We have been working hard on it all week.
Если нужен только один вариант, подойдёт первое — оно стоит в самом начале статьи.
Как узнать это время
Схема: \(have/has + been + V_{ing}\).
- have been celebrating = have + been + celebrating;
- have been working = have + been + working.
Present Perfect Continuous показывает действие, которое началось раньше и продолжается до сих пор или только что продолжалось. Подсказки здесь — for about three decades и all week.
Проверка
В предложениях We have decided..., students have brought..., we've asked... есть только \(have + V_3\), без been + -ing. Это Present Perfect, а не Continuous. А we're celebrating — Present Continuous: там нет been.
