Present perfect continuous and simple tenses
Present perfect continuous and simple tenses are often used together. We use the continuous form to talk about activities, and the simple form to talk about individual actions:
I’ve been getting ready for my trip. I’ve packed my case, I’ve collected my tickets I’ve changed some money.
I’ve been writing an essay. I’ve written it in rough but I haven’t typed it out yet.

Mobile phones
I need a mobile phone for my work. I’m a freelance writer, working for various magazines and newspapers, so it’s very important for publishers and editors to be able to contact me at all times. Much of the time I am at home and they can contact me by regular telephone or e-mail. But I do travel a great deal so my mobile phone is always with me and always turned on. I supposed I’m worried that if they can’t get through, they might give the work to somebody else. I say it’s always turned on, but there are exceptions. When I’m not working over the weekend, or more especially when I’m on holiday, I turn it off. But I always tell people before I go, and they usually understand. I also leave a voicemail message at home and on my mobile phone just to make sure.
I really need my mobile phone. I couldn’t live without it. Mine was stolen a few months back so I didn’t have one for three days and it was horrible. I couldn’t call any of my friends, but worst of all, I couldn’t send them text messages and we normally do that all through the day. My mum thinks my friends and I are crazy. They often stay over, and last Friday when my mum came into my room there were four of us all on our mobile phones talking to different people instead of talking to each other. In the past she got angry, but now she just laughs, especially since I now have to pay for my own calls. I think she’s secretly happy now because I don’t use our normal phone as much as I did before, which means she can talk to her friends when she likes.
All of my friends and work colleagues have mobile phones, but I refuse to buy one. I don’t see why my boss should be able to contact me at home in my own free time. If he wants to talk to me, he can do it during office hours when I’m at my desk – and when I’m getting paid to work for him! As for my friends, they’re always complaining that they can’t make arrangements with me because they can’t talk to me. But what did they do before mobile phones where invented? I think they forget that ten years ago, hardly anybody had one and there were no problems. So what’s the big deal now? They know what I think about them now, and when I go out with them for a meal or a drink, they know they have to turn off their mobile phones so that we’re not interrupted.
