Task 1
These words are found in CA1 EL Practice Paper 1. Learn how to spell them right here.
Rescue workers raced against time to plough through the heaps of *wreckage*. Though tired, they would not *ignore* any cries, no matter how inaudible, they would detect from the (3)*debris*.
the professor tried very hard to find information for the answer. he wanted to demonstrate who invented light bulbs.he was not able to present it as he had not enough information
The rescue workers were not fast enough and a man was paralyzed from head down.He was stuck in one of the debris that the rescuwers found.He was in the ermengency room to seek treatment for the wound in his body.
Besides using the conjunction 'and' in your first sentence, how can you express the same ideas? Using 'and' makes it seem like the rescuing action and and 'paralysing' action take place at the same time.

I was 'paralysed' in fear when I saw a died bird in front of my eyes.I droped my books and was 'strewn' all over the floor.I quickly 'ignored' it and ran away.
I am quite sure you saw a dead bird but not a died bird. Look at your second sentence. The subject of the sentence is "I" and you have used the conjunction 'and' to join two ideas together. - I dropped my books. - So, was it you or the books that were 'strewn' all over the floor?
Rescue workers raced against time to plough through the heaps of *wreckage*. Though tired, they would not *ignore* any cries, no matter how inaudible, they would detect from the (3)*debris*.

Good attempt in linking up the words.
DeleteBegin each sentence with a capital letter. Leave a space after each full-stop.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the professor demonstrating?

ReplyDeleteBegin the sentence with a capital letter. Since 'school' is singular, you need to add a determiner before it.
