Paraphrasing practice_Welsh Could you correct my paraphrase? Original passage: “There are three million people in Wales. Only 20 percent of them speak Welsh. All the rest speak only English. Some people say that welsh will die out in this century. They are worried about that. So schools now have Welsh classes to keep the language alive. Language is the life of the people who use it”. My paraphrase: The population of Wales is about three million. Wales has a population of three million. Wales has about three million population. (Are these three all correct?) However, only one fifth of them use Welsh. The majority of them speak only English. Therefore, some people expect that Walsh will extinct within the 21th century. Schools started providing Welsh classes to prevent from this risk. Language is part of the life of people. Thank you.

My paraphrase:
The population of Wales is about three million. Wales has a population of three million.
Wales has about three million population people. (Are these three all correct? The first 2 are perfect)
However, only one fifth of them use Welsh. The majority of them speak only English. Therefore, some people expect that Walsh will become extinct within the 21th century. Schools started providing Welsh classes to prevent from this risk. Language is part of the life of people.

Thank you.
