Hi! Can you please check the conditional structure printed in blue?

Unfortunaltely, the survey confirmed teacher’s misgivings about how students see/saw their required reading. Even 56% of the students was dissatisfied with the choice of the books, 64% of students thought that chosen books were not in accordance with their everyday life/did not follow, 76% read required books because they had to and only 22% of them read due to their personal interests, whereas the majority thought that required reading would be/would have been much more interesting if students had /had had an opportunity to choose the books they liked.

 

If you have any other comments feel free to write them.

Thank you in advance

Dear Antonia,

I have made corrections.

«Unfortunately, the survey confirmed teachers' misgivings about how students saw their required reading. Indeed, 56% of the students were dissatisfied with the choice of books, 64% thought that the books chosen were not relevant to their everyday lives, 76% read required books only because they had to, and only 22% read as a result of personal interest. The majority of students thought that required reading would be much more interesting if students had an opportunity to choose the books they liked.»

The last sentence is most surprising, no? Smile [:)]

Kindest regards, Smile [:)]

Dear Goldmund,

Thank you very much. You've been a great help.

The last sentence is most surprising, no? Smile <img src=" src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif">  Right! They would probably choose comics if they could.

Best wishes,

Antonia
