Task 5 - Correct the mistakes.
(4) 330 million tonnes of toxic waste are produced from industry every year.
I wrote the following:
(4) 330 million tons[SUP]1 [/SUP]of toxic waste are produced by the[SUP]2[/SUP] industry every year.
[SUP]1 [/SUP]I did not find the phrase "tonnes" in the dictionary but instead I found "tons". My teacher has crossed out "tons" and (again) wrote "tonnes" instead. Isn't "tons" a valid phrase?
2 I was not sure here, but I think my teacher is right (She has crossed it out and marked it.).
