I found this question online, and we need to make a small correction to the instructions. This passage is supposed to be completed with the Present Perfect or the Past Simple form of the verbs, not the Present Simple.
Answer:
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins grew up in London with her mum and began singing when she was four. She graduated from the Brit School in 2006. Adele has already earned millions of pounds, but according to her friends, she has not changed. She’s still the same girl they knew before she was famous. She wrote her first two albums about two relationships that ended badly. But now she is in happy relationship-will she continue to write good songs? Adele says, ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen if my music career goes wrong. I haven't had a proper job yet!’
Explanation:
The Simple Past is used to refer to actions that took place at a specific time in the past. Even if that time is not explicit in the sentence, we can still use the Simple Past if it is possible to infer it. But, usually, dates or expressions such as "yesterday", "back in..." etc. will reveal when the action happened.
The Present Perfect can refer to actions that took place in the past but at an unspecified time, or to actions that started in the past and still have a connection with the present. This tense is commonly used with words such as "yet", "already" or "never".
