(Thank you, Almudena for making me read the Grammar Notes at the back of the book. The truth is that I have gone over them many times, but I must have paid attention only to what I wanted to see. In order that is very formal and not common in speech. Anyway,… apologies to all.)

(Cristina V. was right to ask if it wasn’t necessary to use the verb in sentence 9 of worksheet 7C. Notice that when you include the verb in the first part, you must put a comma. If you use the shortened version, the comma doesn’t seem to be necessary. Also, the answer to 7 is the following: is much the best. Never heard it in my life. I guess I have to live a bit longer.)

Vocabulary: to vent, tailgate
