Dear teachers.
Here are some sentences from my notebook. I wrote them down many years ago. They are mainly from my old dictionaries. Some of them do make sense and good and some are not. I want to keep the good ones. Please feel free to take a look at them. You might simply put a cross next to the wrong ones but it would be better if it/they can be corrected.
1) He borrowed a mechanical book from me.
2) The two ends of the pipeline are connected with the radiator.
3) The car has a fan-cooled radiator.
4) A centipede snaked swiftly away.
5) A train snaked into sight.
6) We must make use of our untapped reservoirs of talent.
7) The lightning made a zigzag in the sky.
8) The road zigzagged up the hill. (I think "zigzag" is common as a verb but not as a noun.)
9) He played the cornet in the school band.
10) It was thought that the fire alarm had been set off as a prank.
11) The tongue is a vocal organ.
12) Today the young are much more vocal.
13) She could be wayward, petulant, and disagreeable.
14) He meditated for two days before giving his answer. ("meditate" is weird here to me.)
15) They picketed the restaurant.
16) The price of sugar has suddenly skyrocketed up.
