OPEN ANSWER.
Section 2 - Editing
The paragraph below explains one possible source that inspired Shakespeare to write
the story of Romeo and Juliet. As you read choose the word in bold that best fits in the
sentence.
Shakespeare did not invent the story of Romeo and Juliet. He probably heard it via a
poem: Romeus and Juliet (1562) written by a poet called Arthur Brooks. It was a long
and boring poem, but many of the details of Shakespeare’s plot are lifted directly from
Brooks’s poem, including the meeting at the ball, the secret marriage, Romeo’s fight
with Tybalt, the sleeping potion, and the lovers’ eventual suicides.’ Such taking from
other stories is typical of Shakespeare, who often wrote plays based on well-known
stories. But Shakespeare made it more exciting by adding the character of Mercutio,
and by fitting the story into four frantic days.

A showy article may not necessarily be valuable.
b) All's well that ends well.
A risky enterprise is justified as long as it turns out well in the end.
c) I will wear my heart upon my sleeve.
Display your feelings openly, for all to see.
d) In the twinkling of an eye.
In an instant.
e) To be, or not to be, that is the question.
Is it better to live or to die?

1. John Lennon was also a big fan of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
The paragraph below explains how the book influenced some of his songs.
But first you have to find seven mistakes. Cross them out and correct them.
The first one has been done for you.
When John Lennon was 11 years old, he received a copy of Lewis Carroll's Alice in
Wonderland as a birthday present. The surreal, nonsensical volume left a lasting
impression on the young man. Lennon notes, "I was passionate about Alice in
Wonderland and drew all the characters. I did poems in the style of "Jabberwocky.
" I used to love Alice..." By the time he was fifteen, Lennon was wishing he could
write something like Alice in Wonderland. Though Lennon did eventually publish
several volumes of nonsense in the style of Lewis Carroll, his connection to Alice
was most keenly apparent in his songwriting with the Beatles. Lennon explained
that Carroll's stories and poems directly influenced the lyrics of two of his most
famous songs, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "I am the Walrus."

There are nine misspelled words in the text below. The first one has been corrected.
Can you find the others?
What is Stress?
Stress is a feeling that's created when we react to particular events. It's the body's way
of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength,
stamina, and heightened alertness.
The events that provoke stress are called stressors, and they cover a whole range of
situations — everything from outright physical danger to making a class presentation
or taking a semester's worth of your toughest subject.
This natural reaction is known as the stress response. Working properly, the body's
stress response enhances a person's ability to perform well under pressure. But the
stress response can also cause problems when it overreacts or fails to turn off and
reset itself properly.
