Part 2: (10 points). There are 10 mistakes in the following passage. Identify the mistakes and write the corrections in your answers in ‘Your answers’ part.
All of we have to work to earn a living ourselves and to help our family. However, we work not only for material life but also for many other thing. We are working to prove our ability. We feel self- confident and proud so we are independent. Anyone who works is regarded like a useful member of society. We’re working, that means we’re contributing for our country. Working helps us trains our minds because we always try our better to do the job.
The better we work, the much money we earn and that encourages us to work harder. Without working, a man life will be empty, purposeless and meaningless and it’s easy of a jobless person to do wrongs.
