VI. There are ten mistakes in the reading below, find and correct them (Có 10 lỗi
trong bài đọc sau, hãy tìm và sửa chúng):
The earliest artifacts show evidence of people investiveness. The names of the great
archaeological ages-the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Wood Age-are drived from
the inventive use of stone and metal implements (see Archaeological). Soon stone
implements were crude, but the purposes they served-protection and food gathering –are
instrumental in humans’ growing domination of the earth. Much of the most significant
inventions and inventive developments occurred before the period covering by written


history. These include the inventor of crude tools, the development of speech, the
cultivation of plants but domestication of animals, the development of building
techniques, the ability to produce and control fire, the ability to do pottery , the

development of simple political systems, and the invention for the wheel.
