Screen dinosaurs - PAU inglés 2015 Andalucía resuelto

Screen dinosaurs - PAU Andalucía 2015In 1922 a short film confused its audience by showing dinosaurs that were taken for real, living dinosaurs that had somehow escaped extinction. The next day newspapers revealed the truth: they were just special effects. Well, today we think we know what dinosaurs looked like because we’ve watched hours of films and documentaries – from the black-and-white, robotic figures of old movies to today’s computer-generated dinosaurs. But although animatronics have become extremely sophisticated and realistic, what we see on screen today is a combination of fact and fantasy, just as it was 100 years ago.
Much of what movies have taught us is wrong. For instance, the latest paleontological research says now that velociraptors (which were also much smaller than in Jurassic Park, about the size of a large chicken), and quite possibly T-rex itself, could have had their bodies covered in feathers rather than skin – although they lacked the ability to fly.
In the end, fiction is fiction, so perhaps it doesn’t matter very much if Jurassic Park and other movies change some facts to add excitement. However, mixing truth and conjecture is more significant in programmes that could be mistaken for reality, like Walking with Dinosaurs, often cited as the most successful television documentary series of all time. But can it truly be classified as a documentary? Its format is familiar to viewers as it resembles real-life wildlife programmes. So it feels like everything you are shown and told in those so-called documentaries is established beyond doubt. But people should be aware that many of today’s dinosaur programmes represent just the way things might possibly have been, and so they should be enjoyed as a hybrid of fact and fiction.

    1. Gracias por tu comentario. El sustantivo irregular ya estaba contemplado en nuestra respuesta. Pero ten en cuenta que el sujeto "Parents" es plural, por lo que el posesivo "his" no es apropiado.
      Por lo demás, "ought to" es sinónimo de "should", pero mejor no cambiarlo, tienes razón.
      De cualquier modo, te deseamos mucha suerte con la PAU y esperamos seguir siéndote de ayuda.
      Salu2 ;)

    1. Hola Unknown!!! Verás, si "warm" fuera un sustantivo tu construcción sería correcta, pero "warm" es un adjetivo ;P
      La colocación de "enough" es pues la siguiente : delante de SUSTANTIVOS y detrás de ADJETIVOS y ADVERBIOS.
      ¿Queda aclarada tu duda?
      Mucho ánimo y mucha suerte :)
