1. Remove the word “to” . “The real strength of the film is its witty dialogue” 2. Great job! 3.I would add a comma after “the pole vaulter” and after “Sergei Bubka” . Also, there is no space before the hyphen in “pole-vaulter” so the sentence would look like, “The pole-vaulter, Sergei Bubka, was the first man to clear the height of six meters.” Great job! 4. Perfect 5. Great 6. This one reads a little strange to me, but it works okay. 7. Great 8. “The school has decided to extend the holidays by three days” enlarge is used more to speak about size rather than length of time. The word extend works better in this example. (:

Only 8 really sounds weird to me! I would put, "The school decided to extend the holiday(s) by three days."
