Part 2: Make the text about homelessness more academic by using hedging
techniques. Rewrite or add to the phrases in italics, using the words in brackets.
You may need to change the form of the verbs. (10 points)
Reminder: Hedging is the language which is used to minimize or soften what you say to avoid sounding
too certain when putting forward an argument.
Example:
• Quitting his job might be a good idea.
• There appears to be evidence to suggest that many of the effects of playing video games are negative.
• Any cognitive skill resulting from repeated video game play is likely to be limited.
(From Unit 10, Oxford EAP)
Given the nature of their lifestyle, statistics on the number of homeless people 1are difficult to
obtain (can). Despite this, 2the latest research shows (appear) that in London the number of
people who find themselves in this situation is rising. 3

increase. 5Unemployment causes relationships to break down (may), leading to one member
of the household being forced to leave. According to Bowcott, 6economic stress increases levels
of alcohol abuse (tendency), which 7put at risk (can) an individual’s ability to maintain a job
and a tenancy.
The situation has been made worse (seem to) by the presence among the newly unemployed

(2020) 9notes the high proportion of young people (relatively) from the Eastern European
