Can you correct me the words in brakets? thank you
I had to complete the gaps with the correct form of these verbs (be, waste, establish, cope, send, travel, go, expand). I can use a preposition
Tim wasn't looking forward (to sending) on his first business trip to Latvia in the middle of winter. He wasn't very keen (on establishing) in icy conditions and he'd never been very good at ( coping ) with cold temperatures. In any case, he didn't believe (in wasting) time making personal visits when a phone call or email would do just as well. He objected (to be) told what to do, but his boss had insisted (on establish) him there for a brief meeting. The company had been thinking (of travelling) into that part of the world for some time and had already succeeded (in expanding)) contacts in Central and Eastern Europe.

Hi Stefi. Here's my version:
"Tim wasn't looking forward (to GOING or BEING SENT) on his first business trip to Latvia in the middle of winter. He wasn't very keen (on DRIVING or TRAVELLING) in icy conditions and he'd never been very good at ( coping ) with cold temperatures. In any case, he didn't believe (in wasting) time making personal visits when a phone call or email would do just as well. He objected (to BEING) told what to do, but his boss had insisted (on SENDING) him there for a brief meeting. The company had been thinking (of EXPANDING) into that part of the world for some time and had already succeeded (in ESTABLISHING)) contacts in Central and Eastern Europe."

very good! except:
(well, except I missed a couple. Neal did it better)
He objected (to being) told what to do
his boss had insisted (on establishing) him there
That's a good exercise. Getting these verbs in the right forms is a big part of sounding like a native speaker. You did well, this wasn't easy.
PS- your question should have been
"Can you correct the words in brackets for me? thank you"
You might see 'correct for me the words' in writing, but it's fallen out of spoken use, at least in the US. It sounds to us like characters in an English novel. "Catherine, you will hold for me this urn while I tune the harpsichord?"
