Practice 1: In the following paragraph, the pronouns are not consistent. Correct them to make this paragraph more coherent.
Olympic Athletes
Olympic athletes must be strong both physically and mentally. First of all, if you hope to compete in an Olympic sport, you must be physically strong. Furthermore, aspiring Olympians must train rigorously for many years. For the most demanding sports, they train several hours a day, five or six days a week, for ten or more years. In addition to being physically strong, he or she must also be mentally tough. This means that you have to be totally dedicated to your sport, often giving up a normal school, family, and social life. Being mentally strong also means that he or she must be able to withstand the intense pressure of international competition with its attendant media coverage. Finally, not everyone can win a medal, so they must possess the inner strength to live with defeat.
Practice 5: Improve the coherence of the following paragraph by adding transitions at key places.
Women’s Liberation and English
The “women’s lib” movement toward greater equality for women has produced some permanent changes in the vocabulary of English. New words have been added. The words feminist, sexist, and male chauvinist have become common during the past thirty-five years or so. Another new word is the title Ms., which is often used in place of both Miss and Mrs. A change is that sexist titles of many occupations have been neutralized. A chairman is now a chairperson (or sometimes simply chair), a waiter/waitress is now a waitperson, and a high school or college freshman is now a first-year student. A mailman is now a mail carrier, and an airline stewardess is now a flight attendant. In time, English pronouns may also change as a result of women’s desire for equality. Attempts to give equal treatment to masculine and feminine pronouns in English have led to the search for a new pronoun form to replace he (such as he/she or s/he) when referring to neutral nouns like student and manager. Some of the new words such as Ms. are quite useful; you can use Ms. to address a woman when you don’t know if she is married. The lack of a clear neutral pronoun can lead to awkward sentence construction.
