Rephrasing
|
|
Hi everybody!
I need your help. I have been doing a rephrasing exercise online and there are two sentences that I always get wrong, the problem is that the programme does not say how it should be to be considered right.
These are the sentences:
1-I had better go to the dentist �s soon
-It �s .....
(I �ve tried with "it �s time, it �s high time, it �s about time..." but it �s not considered the right answer)
2-It makes no difference if the play is full booked,
we will still try to get a ticket
- We will still try and get a ticket ...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

1 - Did you write "It �s time I went to the dentist �s " ? Nothing else comes to my mind !
2 - ... even if the play is fully booked / although the play is fully booked.
What do you think ?

Thanks for your suggestions, but I �ve already tried those possibilities and though I know they �re right, there must be other suitable answers because the online correction does not consider them to be the right ones. |

Maybe you could try:
1-It �s wise /urgent/imperative for me to go to the dentist �s soon
2-No matter how fully booked the play may be, we will still try to get a ticket.
I hope I �ve helped you!

Can you provide the link to the site - maybe by experimenting there we can figure out the correct answers for you!

Have you tried these again just in case?
1-I had better go to the dentist �s soon
- It �s high time I went to the dentist soon.
2-It makes no difference if the play is full booked,
we will still try to get a ticket
- We will still try and get a ticket even though we know play is full booked.
Good luck! |

As the second sentence has a typo (full instead of fully), perhaps you should try typing an incorrect answer! |

We will still try and get a ticket even if the play is fully booked - is the correct answer to the second one. I �m still working on the first!
BTW - I hate you a little Aldegunde! I got 19 out of 25 the first time so I �m now spending ridiculous amounts of time trying to figure out which ones I got wrong! My shame is compounded by being a native speaker and long time teacher of CAE!

I �m sorry! (je-je).It �s quite challenging, isn �t it? the problem is that it does not let you know which ones are wrong, so what I did was to write one sentence and check, another sentence and check and so on. In that way I could figure out which ones I had got wrong. |
