    The document contains a sentence auction where sentences are corrected for active grammar. The corrections change verb tenses and pronouns to be more active. For example, "I was living in New York for three years before I came here" is corrected to "I lived in New York for three years before I came here". Another correction changes "The banks are opened at nine and are closed at five" to "The banks open at nine and close at five". The activity helps improve sentences by making their grammar more direct and active.

    I am working for a garment company in Central. Were meeting our friends at 7 p.m. outside the MTR station. I worked for a bank for ten years and then I changed my career. I will always have a cup of tea before I go to bed. I was living in New York for three years before I came here. After I had left school, I started work with an insurance company. Shes been to China about four years ago. The banks are opened at nine and are closed at five. What have you done to your hair? It looks awful! I wish I will pass the exam next month. If I want to be fit I must stop to smoke. I hope it doesnt rain tomorrow as we want to have a picnic. The dog makes a good family pet. We went to the cinema but I was very boring as I didnt like the film.
