Great start to Term 3!
Dear 6B,
thank you for the (somewhat) positive start to the term.
I appreciate the fact that everyone brought your thermometers - great job! I can also see more effort in your work , do keep it up and let's stay in focus :).
For those of us who found the start negative in some way,
remember the Circle of Influence.
Is it(whatever is making you negative/stressed/sad) something you can control?
If yes, DO something about it.
If no, PAUSE. Take a breathe and....
(You know what to do ;)).
Love,
Ms Priya
PS Here are the notes and answers for GR 2 and GR 3.

General
Revision 2
1. Both bank
notes look identical only one does
not have the official watermark.
Both bank notes are identical only that one does not have the official watermark.
(The “only”
already indicates that the notes are not identical, so there is no need for the
word “almost”.)
2. In order to fulfil his promise to the king,
the knight rode to the ends of the world.
(Some wrote
‘ends’ as ‘end’.)
3. Together with the cast, the director was given a
standing ovation at the award ceremony.
(While I
accepted ‘cast’ and ‘director’ as interchangeable, cast is still a singular
noun. So the verb will still be ‘was’.)
4. Neither the crops nor the farm animals
survived the drought.
5. Joshua has
been eagerly looking forward to Christmas ever
since he learnt about Santa Claus last month.
(‘Christmas’
was commonly misspelt.)
6.
The thief, as
well as his gang, was arrested on Monday.
(The
additional phrase should be between two commas.)
7. Ben, Nasri and Donald would like to join the
soccer team.
(The three
names are interchangeable.)
8. Either knife is sharp enough to slice the
lemon in two.
(‘Either’
usually refers to only one, so the verb is always singular.)
9. The price
offered for my flat was too low, moreover,
I love living in this estate.
(‘Moreover’
should be between two commas.)
10. Mrs Tan was
so taken aback by the man who whipped out a knife suddenly that she could not move a muscle.
(‘so…that’ –
Her emotion was so strong that she reacted that way. Since we are emphasising
this, the order should not be changed.)
General Revision 3
1.
We do not
have furry pets due to the fact that
my mother is allergic to animal fur.
We do not
have furry pets due to my mother’s
allergy to animal fur.
2.
Ken could
afford to pay for neither the car nor the van.
( Ken could afford to pay neither the car nor the van
has a different meaning – think what it means!)
3.
Milk is
high in both protein and calcium.
(‘rich’ and ‘high’ can be synonyms so in this case, there is no need to repeat them.)
4.
All the
guests, except Robert, thanked the
host for the wonderful party.
(additional info should be between two commas)
5.
The police
mounted an island-wide search in order
to recapture the fugitive.
6.
The baby
did not start learning to crawl until
he was seven months old.
The baby did not learn to
crawl until he was seven months old.
The baby had not learnt to
crawl until he was seven months old.
(‘The baby did not crawl’ has a different meaning from ‘did not start to
learn to crawl’ – think of it!)
7.
Jolene
refused to don the clown’s costume lest her friends laugh at her.
(Please revise this connector again!)
8.
That is the
wizard whose sudden appearance frightened everyone.
(‘appearance’ was commonly misspelt.)
9.
My doggy
will not do tricks unless we feed it some doggy treats.
10. That is the bungalow where the Nair family lived for
the past twenty years.
(‘at’ is unnecessary.)

Synthesis #28
1.If you shout, you will wake Mother.
(The "don't" is more of a warning)
2. Whenever I go on vacations, I put on weight.
(Whenever already means each time, so there is no need for the word "always".)
3. Olly ran off when its leash slipped from my fingers.
(Olly can be represented by 'its' or 'his'.
It's = It is. Its = ownership)
4. Leonard will give the beggar some money whenever he passes this way.
5. The fire alarm was set off when smoke wafted from the flames.
6. Linda should take care of her health if she does not want to fall sick.
(This is not simply a cause and effect question. The "should" has a tone of a stern warning.)
7. If we wash the dishes, Mother will praise us.
8. Whenever the parrot is not fed on time, it gets cranky.
9. The frame smashed when Tim dropped the picture.
10. I get dizzy whenever I ride on roller coasters.
