Как быстро выучить стихотворение наизусть? Запоминание стихов является стандартным заданием во многих школах. 

Как научится читать по диагонали? Скорость чтения зависит от скорости восприятия каждого отдельного слова в тексте. 

Как быстро и эффективно исправить почерк?  Люди часто предполагают, что каллиграфия и почерк являются синонимами, но это не так.

Как научится говорить грамотно и правильно? Общение на хорошем, уверенном и естественном русском языке является достижимой целью. 

I assume that your question means if any of the words in the line exists at least 3 times, then print the line, else discard it. I would use awk, for a more readable and customizable solution:

awk -F '\W+' '{
    delete c; for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) if (length($i) && ++c[$i]==3) {print; next}
}' file

It is a loop for all fields, counting their occurences per line. If any word reaches 3 times, it will print the line, delete the array and go to next line. Also a test for the length of the field exists to avoid printing on any empty fields counted.

Here we can easily customize the meaning of «word» by adding different and/or many field separators, using -F (the standard BREs and EREs are supported). In the above, word separators are all characters except _ and [:alnum:]: awk -F '\W+' or awk -F '[^_[:alnum:]]+', similar to matching word bountaries with grep.

For a human language, we may need different word bountaries, like everything except the letters, like: awk -F '[^[:alpha:]]+' or except letters and digits: awk -F '[^[:alnum:]]+' or to include not only the underscore, but the dash also into words: awk -F '[^-_[:alnum:]]+'.

Without setting -F, only the whitespace characters are used.

Hello friends,

I need your help with the following problem.
There are three sentences, with a gap in each of them.
I need to find the one single word (and only one) which can fill all the three gaps and fit properly.

1. I’m sure Maria will ………. for the beach as soon as she’ll be unpacked.

2. How do you think Frizt will …….. each month, with his new job ?

3. He’s achieving great results, I’m sure the management will ……. him sales manager next year.

I couldn’t find anything better than «head», but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong.
A guy who was at the exam with me tried «drive», which is also wrong.
Any suggestions ?

Ciao
Claudio

    Hi Claudio,

    Is there a word missing from the second sentence?

    Can future tense be after as soon as?
    If my memories serve me right, my teacher said never.

    la grive solitaire


    • #4

    You’re right, Erik.:) It should read:

    1. I’m sure Maria will …….. for the beach as soon as she’s [she has] unpacked.

    Hi Claudio,

    I can’t find a word that does all three, but I have to say, sentences 1 and 2 sound wrong regardless. «as soon as she’ll be unpacked» is ungrammatical, like you said, and «each month, with his new job ?» seems to have a misplaced comma, and at first glance «with» is incorrect too. «In» would work better, as long as the missing word doesn’t change the structure. Mind you, my observation still doesn’t help much! Sorry!

    I think the missing word for all three is «make»:

    …she’ll make for the beach

    How much will Fritz make each month

    …management will make him sales manager…

    Hello Claudio,

    The obvious answer, to me, is «make». But, as La Grive says, there seems to be something missing in the second sentence. That would need the addition of «out» — «How do you think Fritz will make out each month . . . ?»

    Regards,
    LRV

    Omitted words and other errors MAKE this difficult to correct!

    Thank you for your kind and prompt replies.

    At the exam I couldn’t take note of the sentences, therefore I obviously stuffed them with errors when I tried (with the only help of my memory) to type them in the first post of this thread.

    Anyway you all agree that the word is «make».
    I have another question : is «make for the beach» a bit colloquial ? I ask because I have never seen such a form. Is it BE ? Or AE ?

    Ciao and thank you again
    Claudio

    • #10

    In BE I say «head for the beach».

    Regards,
    LRV

    • #11

    I agree with Joelline. Even without the mistakes, it is very difficult. I´d guess that «make for» is both BE and AE, though I´ll let the Americams speak for themselves. It´s certainly BE, though a bit unusual, perhaps more written than spoken?

    • #12

    In AE I have heard and understand «make for the beach,» although its not the primary way of saying it. We usually say «head to the beach» or «go to the beach.» I am sure there are other but thats all I can think of at the moment.

    Let me offer sincere sympathy and suggest that you reserve the right to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. This is cruel and unusual punishment, not a legitimate examination in the use of English.

    I’ll accept that it is possible to use make in each of these sentences. But I stress possible and assert that it is unnatural.

    • #14

    These are questions that come out in FCE, CAE and CPE.

    Here are my attempts:

    1. head

    2. fare

    3. name

    Ooops, Cracker Jack,

    Go back and read the nasty directions again. That was our problem: you had to use the 1 word (the same word) in all 3 sentences!

    It is for this reason that the Europeans here will be appealing to the European Court of Human Rights, and the Americans will be appealing to the Supreme Court! This was, indeed, cruel and unusual punishment!

    Best,
    Joelline

    If the second sentence is «How much do you think he will make each month, with his new job?», is «make» the correct word then?

    Hi coconut palm,

    Yes, and that’s what I changed it to in post #8.

    Oh gee!!! Thanks for reminding me Joelline. That was very careless of me. Well, you have all the right to deplore those bastard-examiners. Not just cruel and usual. It is stupid. Go ahead.

    «Make for» meaning to go to, or head in the direction of, is not
    used with any frequency in AE. It’s found quite a bit in 19th and early 20th century writing, but has fallen out of favor in recent decades.

    Except for occasional appearances, one of them being the written part of the CPE exam I tried last week…
    I agree with Cracker Jack’s opinion, although my view is not so mild.

    My understanding is that Cambridge questions are tested and a sufficient number of ‘guinea pigs’ must have answered the question for it to have been shown to help in grading candidates’ English ability.

    I don’t feel «make for the beach» is so unusual.

    Joelline


    • #23

    It’s not unusual if you’re reciting dialogue in a WW II movie about the beaches at Normandy! Otherwise, when is the last time you said it or heard someone say it?
