Exercise 4

Concordancer Exercises

Mini-Research Question 4:

What’s wrong with this student’s sentence "As you know that Hong Kong has spent a lot of money promoting tourism."?

First go to http://vlc.polyu.edu.hk/ and find the "Web Concordancer" in the middle of the page.

Type in the word "as you know" in the "Keyword" box. Don’t worry about the first box , which is set at "equal to" , just now. After you’ve typed in "as you know" hit the "Go" icon.

1. How are the examples in the concordances different from the student’s sentence?

Remember to look out for the answers which will be given with the next question next week!
