Section 6

Delete and replace the other ten mistakes with the correct words.
There is an example at the beginning of the text.

If you are doing this exercise on paper, delete and replace the mistakes as shown in the
example.

Luka Logan is an 9th grade schoolgirl from San Antonio, Texas. Recently, she participated
in a spelling competition for the forth time and, after several rounds, two spellers
remained for the final, which Luka won. She was declared the winner of the National
Spelling Bee Championship and achieved the first-place price of $50,000.

“So surreal, honestly,” she said after winning the title, calling it “a dream come true.”

During the competition, Luka spelled 22 words correct in the 90-second speed round,
were her fellow finalist, Robert Smith, reached 15 words. “It certainly has’nt been a walk in the
park,” explained coach Walter Race. “Luka has previously participated in the spelling competition
but has, until know, failed to make it past the best 30.”

Luka has other hobbys apart from spelling. So, what is she going to do next? Musicals tops the list
of things she would like to do, but she also plays the piano and is giving the ukulele a try. As a keen
reader, it was actually her enthusiasm for reading that got her to join the spelling competition at the
first place. She likes creative writing as well, and is planing on publishing a book before finishing
high school.

Imagine you are spending a week at the international newspaper, Global Weekly, as part of your work
experience. You have met teenagers from English-speaking countries who have told you their stories. At the
end of the week, you are supposed to write an article to be published in the online youth section.

Use one of the following examples for your article or create your own story.

nearby Urban Harvest Food Bank.

of Biscayne Bay, Florida.
