The following text gets sent around and if you wait long enough someone will send you a copy.

Supposedly this is a compilation (in chronological order) of errors made by students of a highschool(?) teacher in Minnesota. That seems a little far fetched to me, but decide for yourself:


A not quite perfect World History

One of the fringe benefits of being an English or History teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay. I have pasted together the following ``history'' of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eigth grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot.

The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain.

你能找出多少错误并纠正它们?
