Task 1

Read the text. Find ten misspelled words and circle them. Then write the correct spelling on the
numbered lines below. There is an example.

Every year, my school takes part in a national grammar competishen, and this year one of the
students got to the final round! Unfortunately, he fell ill the day before, and my teacher asked me to
reprisent our school instead. The competition rules allow a sabstitute student to participate in such
situations. This was a terifying prospect! Everybody knows that I love grammar, and that I have a
reamarkable knowledge of the use of tenses, apostrofes and semicollons. I guess you could even call
it an obseission. But I think that it was the confidense that I lacked. However, the reputatione of our
school was at stake, so I felt I had no choice but to agree. In the end, it was a traiumph! I won a silver
medal in my age category.
