IT IS NOT FAIR! How to match it in??? I am not a native speaker, for the record! I was extremely without exaggeration struggled by this exercise is following! It demands on I should "complete the centences (1-7) with the models of urban transport from the box". Here is this box of words: bicycles, buses, escalators, intercity trains, metro, river boats, trams, trolleybuses. Here is sentences where I should put these words in. In parentless - my answers where was bottom line. 1) City (buses) are gradually being replaced by electric and LPG vehicles to make them more environmentally friendly. 2) Passengers in London can travel by (river boats) to destinations along the River Thames. 3) The first electric (trolleybuses) in Ukraine operated in Kyiv. The system now consists of about 140 kilometres of tracks. 4) There are special lanes for (bicycles) to encourage more people to take up this environmentally-friendly mode of transport. 5) The majority of (intercity trains) lines run underground, and stations can be accessed from the surface via (escalators). 6) In some cities, people can travel by (trams). You can see their electric cables above the street. 7) Metro operate on domestic routes in Ukraine and you can use them to get to the biggest cities. Am I right when matching? It is entirely weird to me, because trolleybuses and trams seems are the same in our country. Some sentences astonished me in a way of its applicability of using two words from the box. I would gladly see your corrections and notes. Thanks a lot...

Can I say in that way? Hi! There are two examples. Tell me, please, what one is incorrect: 1) While Jane was decorating Christmas tree, her mum cleaned the room. 2) While Jane was decorating Christmas tree, her mum was cleaning the room. Is the last sentence correct? If the first, why?

Where are my mistakes in article? Does it sound natural as it is written by native? I was supposed to write an article in which I should answer the following: You are on an exchange trip to a school in the UK and have read the following advertisement in the school magazine. Write an article at least 100 words in which you: • describe your own experience of exam stress, • explain why the experience was stressful, • say how you coped with it and suggest another technique for coping. I would be appreciative to read your remarks and see the correction. Many thanks! Article is below: Evidently, everyone of us have ever passed the test with the tense feelings you are not going to hand in. And I was not the exception. The thoughts as "I don't pass", 'All of them will pass, but none the way will I' were absorbed into me. I remember when examiner asked me to agree contractually to a limitation of the liability and my hands was nervously shaking! My goals there were only not to scew up in front of the whole and fill in the agreement. By some miracle, I filled it in and got a sense of relief. It has to be said that by the months of hardworking, I did not pay heed to anyone's advices how should I pass the exam, especially from teachers. I was thinking that I am the smartest in terms of persevering the goals I setted, and no one should be given the advices to me. And all these guidelines were beggining to be undermined when time has come. 1 hour is left, and I'm in the itch due to thoughts as 'I'll be a pond scum if not passed' or 'Damn! I spent 2 days to learn Thales' theorem! What is it?!' That's why that exam was stressful. I was scared what if not pass. What others might think? What should I write is exam was passed perfectly, and after this experience I have became very confident of what I know. I coped with it because I knew that all I was learning was really true knowledge. It had a fundament, an 'absolut', as it is commonly reffered to. That's why I coped. But what if you have no clue at Descarte's philosophy? Do not panic. For you I have some technique: if you really were styding hard and have the knowledge of the subject is testing you, try it out to forget that this subject exists for 1-2 days untill time to pass has came. Do calming practices for settling those pre-test nerves: roll feet over a golf ball, do crunches, look outside, spin and jump. Forget about everything! And I persuade you it is working. Forget about everything you should pass! You are the smartest person I have ever known. You got this. Cordially, Alex
