Task 1: 

a. In each line, there is one grammar mistake. Edit it.

While it is important to impart correct road safety values to our pupil, the Government’s efforts cannot merely stop there. 

During off-peak hours, it is not uncommon to see heavy vehicles speed on the second or even first lane of expressways such as the Pan-Island Expressway and Kranji Expressway. 

Not only do this pose a threat to other motorists, some drivers may carry on their errant driving habits on normal roads. 

The relevant authorities might enforce the traffic laws more actively against these errant drivers. 

There would be more frequent expressway and road patrols during off-peak hours. 

Defensive driving courses could be made compulsory, if this is not already so. 

The Tampines accident is a tragedy, one that could well have been avoid.

Examining the conflict in Sri Lanka through editorial cartoons

Political /Editorial Cartoons about the conflict in Sri Lanka

-------------------------------------------------------------

The year is 1983. Yelling through the megaphone is the president of Sri Lanka Junius Richard Jayewardene. In the top left corner is a shoreline of the Indian subcontinent. There is a man tied up; on his chest is the word ‘Tamils’

-------------------------------------------------------------

Pictured holding the leash and wagging his finger is Sri Lankan President Junius Richard Jayewardene, who was in office from 1978 to 1989. The dogs have the words ‘armed forces.’ The man who is sweating, holding onto coconuts and seated on the bent tree has the word ‘Tamils’ over his head and he is over a shoal of sharks – the word Sinhalese is written over the fin of a shark.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Consequence of conflict in Sri Lanka

This is a BBC Ch4 report about the state of the refugee camps housing Tamils who had to flee the fighting between the Sri Lankan Army and LTTE (Tamil Tigers).
