#1 Without anyone ever noticing, there is only one month left in 2008.
#2 There is only one month left in 2008, so we better make good use of the time we have.
#3 There is only one month left in 2008, and we still have a budget of $1000 that is left unspent.
JOSPEPHINE: #1--good; #2--you have added an independent clause;-) #3--very good.
The time passed so quickly,I can't believe that there is only one month left in 2008.
I have to finish my course as soon as possible, as there is only one month left in 2008.
There is only one month left in 2008,and still I am trying to reduce my weight as much as i can.
UZMA: #1--you have added two things--a dependent clause (time=subject; passed = verb), plus an independent clause (I--subject--+ can't believe--verb); and then changed the original independent clause into a dependent one.#2--again you have changed the independent clause into a dependent one and added an independent clause;
#3--good.
#2 There is only one month left in 2008,so we must speed up to achieve our target.
Just for #2,
While we are expecting to have enough time to finish the paper, there is only one month left in 2008.
UZMA: OK--that fixes #2; now try #1.
JOSPEPHINE:Thank you; that's better:-)
