III. There're ten mistakes in this passage. Find them and correct them.

Japanese young today study English for six years at junior and senior high school, but very little can speak it

by the time they graduate. If the Japanese want to acquire practice oral skills, they have to do a conscientious

effort by themselves as going abroad or taking English conversation classes in their private country.

In Japan, grammar is emphasized too much at Japanese high school, and there is no balance with the

speaking language. People study English mainly for passing exams. They're so tied to grammar teaching in

the textbooks that they find spoken English naturally very difficult.

They should consider English more as a means of communication than of a science.

Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals. In

addition, man can catch the disease from animals. In fact, a great number of wild birds seem to carry the

virus without showing any evidences of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza

viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is

able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. There is even convincing evidence to show that virus

strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds.

It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time.

The result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises

the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to

produce an entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains

come into being. Another possibility is that two animals influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for

example, to produce a new strains which is transmitted to man.
