Target 6: Sentences – General Rules Bonus!
Task 2
This long sentence contains too much information. Rewrite it below, splitting it up
into several sentences so that the writing is easier to understand.
The elephant is the largest animal that lives on land and it can live for
up to seventy years and females can have babies until they are about
fifty years old and they spend about sixteen hours every day eating
and elephants flap their big ears to keep cool and this works because
the breeze that it makes cools the blood which runs inside the ear
flap and elephants have the largest brains in the animal kingdom and
this may be why they have such good memories.
