Language in use You are going to read what Toby Peters, a young poet, has to say about his inspiration, his background and his hopes for the future.

There are two examples at the beginning. 34 I always wanted it to be a writer, from a very young age. I started 0 writing stories when I was about 10 years old, and then when I 00 was 17 that I first started writing poems. Writing poems is much 1 harder than writing stories about. You have to say so much in 2 just a few words. I find to getting the rhyme right the hardest 3 thing of all. For inspiration, I mainly rely on my memories. I’m a 4 lucky because I had a really happy childhood. Most of my poems 5 are upbeat – I must think too much poetry these days is 6 miserable and depressing. It’s great to be a published author at 7 my age, although I can’t give up my job just yet. It is once my 8 dream that one day I will ever earn enough from my writing to live 9 as a full time writer. If you want to become a poet one more day, 10 I have two pieces of the advice for you. One is to read as much 11 poetry as you can by as many different authors as possible. The 12 second is to start with writing today. Just 10 minutes a day can make 13 all the big difference. Practice makes perfect, and unless you have 14 a natural talent then you have to work at it the week in, week out. 15 it  Editing In a task of this type, also known as “Spot the error”-task, you are asked to check a text with regard to a number of unnecessary words that render incorrect the lines in which they appear. You have to identify or “spot” these unnecessary words and write them in the space provided. Note, however, that NOT ALL lines contain an unnecessary word. Some lines are correct. If this is the case, put a tick in the margin on the right side of the line. The first two lines (0, 00) are example lines for you to see how to do the task.
