  Hi Joe,

  I love your site and blog. I live in Egypt and I’m currently in training to be an EFL teacher. This exercise is wonderful and thank you for all the great resources. Feel free to correct me if I’ve made any mistakes.

  1. The recipe called for 250g of flour, so I weighed the exact amount on the scale.

  2. The scales on the the skin of a fish should be removed before cooking.

  3. The mountain climbers took two hours to scale the peaks of Mount Everest.

  4. In Jazz music, the musical scale is made up of eight notes. The first and eighth notes are the same, except that the eighth note is exactly eight pitch levels higher than the first. For example, in the scale of C-major, the first note is C and you go up (ascend) in one note intervals until you reach the eighth note, like this, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. Once you reach the top of the scale, you go back down again (descend) to return to the first note, like this, C, B, A, G, F, E, D, C.
