PART V: There are 11 mistakes in the following passage. Find and correct them. There is an example for you. (2ms)
One day a mother said to her son, “ I must go out now and do some shopping. I wants you to look after the house.”
“ Yes, mother,” the boy said, but he was not listening. He was interesting only in his book.
“ Three people will come to the house: first the butcher, then my friend and lastly a beggar,” his mother explained. “ Are you listening for me?”
“ Yes, mother,” the boy says, but his eyes did not leave his book.
“ Very well. Now, tell the butcher that his meat is too fat and she must never come here again,” his mother said. “ Ask my friend to come in and give her a cup of tea. Give the pile in old clothes by the door to the beggar. Do you remember?”
“ Yes, mother.” The boy said, but he was read his book.
His mother went out and soon there was a knock at the door. The boy put his book down and went open it. He saw the pile of clothes by the door. “ these are for you,” he said to the person at the door. Then he went back to the sitting- room.
A few minutes later there was another knock at the door. The boy went to open it. “ You are too fat,” he said to the person at a door. “ Never come here again” Then he closed the door and went back to his book.
A little later there was a third knock at the door. The boy went to open it. “ Come in, ” he said. “ I’ll make you a cup of tea. Mother will be back soon ” .
His mother came home and found the beggar in the sitting – room drinks tea .
“ Oh ! ” she cried. “ If the beggar is drinking tea, what did you say to your friend ? ”
Dear Mr and Mrs Wilcox,
I'm very happy that you can come to visit us in August, but (and) I would like to tell you something in (about) my town.
The weather here in August is usually very good, and (but) bring a warm jumper or jacket with you because it is sometimes cool in the evenings.
I know if (that) you like going to the theatre and to the opera, then (so) I have booked tickets for the performance of 'Aida' in (on) August 4th. An (The) opera will start at 9.00 in the evening. Because there are lots of people when the seats do not have numbers we must arrive very early.
I know that you will like the monuments in Verona, especially the Arena and the Roman theatre.
There is a lot of good restaurants and cafés in Verona and (where) we can try some of the local dishes. I'm sure you (will) like our food, especially the pasta and the fruit ice-cream.
Please write to me early and tell me early (soon) what time you are arriving in Verona.
With best wishes,
siêu
