below and look carefully at each line. Some of the lines are
correct, and some have a word which should not be there. If a
line is correct, type OK in the blank space on the left of
the number. If a line has a word which should not be there,
write that word in brackets. There are two examples at
the beginning (0 and 00).
A MODEL FAMILY
0
These days you are never too young to be a model. Janice

Hodge's three children have all been modelling since when the
1
first weeks of their lives, earning up £200 each for a working
2
day. "When my at first daughter Laura (now 8) was a baby my
3
friends told me she was so pretty that she should be a model.
4
I expect that people to say the same sort of thing about all
5
babies, but I asked myself what did I had to lose and
6
registered Laura with two modelling agencies. Immediately a
7
work came pouring in for her." As a result of the agencies
8
were keen to add Janice's the other two children, Ted (5) and
9
Alex (2), to their books as soon as they were born. "They
10
appear in catalogues, knitwear books and magazines. They are
11
such a patient children that photographers love working with
12
them. Fortunately they all enjoy having their photograph be
13
taken." But their earnings are not as high as a supermodel's
14
is. "I'm unemployed," says Janice, "so if a cheque comes in,
15
it means much more better Christmas presents or a holiday,
but most of the
money goes on bills."
