Øving til engelsk eksamen

[Fly Emirates]

Jeg har tentamen på onsdag, og jeg har tenkt å repitere noen oppgaver. Jeg nesten gjort alle, men jeg har ikke fasiten på oppgaven. Så jeg lurer på om noen av dere kan hjelpe meg.

 

The Beggar

 

We all make\do\perform mistakes, but it\that\there is one particular blunder that has stuck in my mind, and the more I try to forget it, the better it sticks.

 

I know of course\coarse\curse that the authorities would like us to belive that begging is unnecessary in our welfare state, and that beggars prefer\prefers\preferring begging to real work, but personally I am not convinced. So i sometimes give them a few coints if I hink they look as though they really need the money..

 

Anyway, a morining\one morning\ in the morning as I was walking to work saw I \ I saw\ did I see a young chap sitting on a pierce of cardboard on the pavement outside a Tube station in the city centre. Just one glance at him told me he was mentally ill. He was sitting hunched up, holding a newspaper in his hands, and he was talking to his left shoulder in a wat that seemed absolutely\total\ful crazy. It was as if he and his shoulder were in the middle of an important conversation.

 

This was abviously a genuinely neddy \ one of the genuinely needy \ a genuinely need. I thrown\ throws\ threw a pound coin in front of him, and glanced quickly to catch the expression of suprise and gratitude that was sure to follow. " Hey, you whats that then?" the man shouted. He sounded supirsed, but not very gratefully\ grateful\ gratitude. "it's for you," I SAID, wondering if i'd give\given\giving him to much or too little. "Wait a sec., Fred," he said to the mobile phone that was stuck between his chin and left shoulder. And then he spoke to me on\in\with a voice that was becoming more and more aggressive: "what the hell do you mean", its for me?"

 

On me it slowly dawned\ Slowly it dawnet on me\ It dawnet slow on me that the man wasnt a beggar.

 

After all, beggars don't usually conduct\aren't usually conducting\ aren't usally conducted their business on the phone. Even the government hasn't suggested that they are so well off. Then I saw the xpensive leather jacket he was wearing, and the crash helmet by his side.And parket in the street there was a motor- bike belonging to Express Delivieries. I didn't know weather\wether\ whether to pick to coin up again or leave it and make a quik but dignified retreat. I was debating to question when the man tossed the pound at me and suggested I ought to go away, but not quite in those words. The coin bounced off my chest and rolled into the gutter. I picked it up and left him. The last words I heard were: "Sorry aboubt that, Fred, THere was a real nutcase here..."

Legg merke til at det er en skrivefeil her. "Dawnet" er ikke et ord. Det burde stå "dawned" på alle alternativene.

Ingen som har artikkel om English in working life" eller noe om eller who own the Englush Language? Hvorfor jeg spør, er fordi at det står i wikipedia osv er litt vanskelig å forstå.
