b) No one ever talks to him because he is sorude a man.
c) No one ever talks to him because he is toorude a man. (correct ?)
d) He�s such a rude man that no one ever talks to him.

2) a) The water is very cold so no-one can swim in it.
b) The water is too cold to swim in.
c) The water isn�t warm enoughto swim in.

3) a) I can hardly hold my pen because my hands are verycold.
b) My hands are so cold that I can hardly hold my pen.


Are there other possibilities?

Many thanks,
