This beautiful country is filled with fruits and flowers growing everywhere. The country is also blessed with rain forests, mountains, and inactive volcanoes. One of my favorite memories are of a time I stayed overnights on the beach with some friends. At about midnights, we decided to stand waist-deep in the warm ocean water. A gentle rain began to fall, we could see lightning flashing in the clouds miles away. Suddenly, we all gasped in amazement. Lines of flickering green light were dancing across the tops of the waves. As they rolled toward us. We learned later that the light was caused by tiny glowing animals which live on the oceans surface. That night was a magical time for us.
38. Read the following passage either aloud or to yourself, looking for the following five mistakes: 1-fragment, 1- apostrophe mistake, 1-missing word,-1 missing comma, and 1- verb mistake: Can you tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? In order to do so, you'd probably need to see the two animals side by side. An alligators snout is shortest and broader than that of a crocodile. When an alligator's mouth is shut. You can see only the top teeth protruding outside the mouth. But with crocodiles, you can see several of its bottom teeth as well as its top teeth. the most important difference, however, is in behavior rather than looks. Although alligators are dangerous they does not often attack people. But crocodiles are definitely aggressive toward humans.
