There she taught girls 3 from rich families in a convent school. Although she never did saw them, 4 Mother Teresa knew that the school was very near at some of the worst 5 slums. One night she heard an “inner” voice which told her to stop 6 her work much as a teacher and help the poor instead. So she left the convent school 7 and began to live among the poor in the slums. She walked barefoot and 8 wore a white in sari, just as they did. She asked for help and was not 9 disappointed. Many people sent money and presents. The city let her to have 10 an old house, and she began her work with twelve other nuns. 11 The people who came to her were every usually very ill, or even dying, but 12 she also looked after countless babies who had been left in the streets. In 13 1979, Mother Teresa her was awarded the Nobel Prize. She died 14 in 1997 and was beatified in the 2003. 15 the TIP 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. 87 4 Extensive unit 4: India Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
