Thanks very much Emsr2d2.

Can you help me with another passage as well ?
In the following passage one word has been omitted in each line and we need to find that omitted word. need desperate help.

Children have to made to
understand being pulled
up scoring low marks, reprimanding
for a certain behaviour or criticised
in front of the class something
that happen to anyone - a regular
part school life because most of the
time they begin think" why me " ?

2) Christian adams Germany combines his
two passions- playing the violin cycling
backwards- create world records. In
2007, cycled backwards through a
motorway tunnel in Switzerland playing
a composition famed music composer
Bach. The feat earned a place in the record
books. Christian covered a distance of 60 kms.

3) Clowns been a part of
many cultures and kingdom
but without a purpose.
Ancient Greece boasts the
existence of earliest of clowns.
They bald-headed
figures main role in mimes
and pantomimes was evoke laughter.

I know the answers but still want to check some. any help would be highly appreciated .

thanks !

Deepak

It would be far better if you put in what you think are the answers. We can then comment.

It might be easier if you write the thing out as sentences. Whose idea was it to set it out that way?

Children have to be made to understand that being pulled up for scoring low marks, reprimanded for a certain behaviour or criticised in front of the class is something that happens to anyone - a regular part of school life - because most of the time they begin to think "why me?"

I believe Ray was suggesting that YOU do that.

But still he answered it...looking forward for next :(

I think you will be waiting a while then. You were very lucky that Raymott not only put your first piece into one sentence but also gave you the correct answers. Now it really is your turn.

Yes, I can reliably confirm that I do expect you to do the rest. ;-)
You call yourself an English teacher, so this should not be difficult.
