Question VI: There are 10 mistakes in the following passage. Underline and correct them.
I live in the small village calls Henfield. There are about 700 men here. The village is quiet and the life is slowly and easy. We never had to queue in shops or banks. People never throw his rubbish on the roads, but the village is always clean. The air is also very clean because of there is not much traffic. The people here are much friendlier than those in a city. If someone has a problem, there is always people who can help. However, one thing I don't like about Henfield is that there's not much to do in the evening. We haven't got any cinemas or theaters. But I still prefer village life for life in a big city.
