Ex.10. Put the adverbs into their correct place in the text.

When Michael opened his café, he did not have any experience in business and found out it was much more difficult than he had expected (three years ago, absolutely, soon). Although the café was situated in a good place, he had overlooked an important thing: advertising (conveniently, totally, very). As by that time he had run out of money, he sent a letter to his uncle asking for a loan (nearly, urgently, as soon as possible). The money arrived, and Michael put an advertisement in the local paper (the next day, immediately, on the front page). His café became popular (within weeks, tremendously).
