Hello Deborah,
Unfortunately my class doesn't have common access to the inernet. Is there anyway to download this/these exercises so that they can be used in the classroom?
Thanks, Darlene
Yes they can. On the answer page, you'll find the mp3 files. You can download them to your computer and transfer them to a portable mp3-player.
All the best
Deborah
I think, the correction is not correct.
I only see one mistake - "two year gurantee" without hyphen and therefore I'm very astonished that I received only 10 points!
Is it possible to show me my other mistakes? Perhaps I'm blind.
Kind regards

Number 5. doesn't work!!!! This made the whole exercise a bit pointless.
I'm sorry that you feel the exercise doesn't come up to standard. Unfortunately, the system is very strict. It only marks the sentence as correct if you type it exactly the same as ours. If you add an extra space (Leerzeichen) or comma, for example, you will get zero points, even though the sentence itself could be correct.
The system doesn't mark what your mistake was. However, I believe it is a good learning activity to compare your answer with ours if it is marked as incorrect. Being able to proofread your own work in English is an invaluable skill.
We are, however, still looking at ways to improve the system.
Kind regards
Deborah Capras
