        <p>
          You are given three sentences that need to be rewritten so that they use simpler English.
            This means that you should reduce the number of difficult words or idioms, simplify complex phrasing,
            delete information that may not be relevant, and make the sentence more straight forward.
            This could be accomplished by applying different transformations to the original sentences.
            In this task, we ask you to only use: paraphrasing, compression and/or sentence splitting.
            We explain each of these transformations below and provide examples.
        </p>

        <h4> Paraphrasing</h4>
        <p>This involves changing complex words or phrases for simpler synonyms.
            For example:
        </p>

        <table border="1">
            <tr>
                <th>Original</th>
                <th>Simplification</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>From <b>its inception</b>, it was <b>designated</b> a duty-free port <b>and vied</b> with the neighboring Sultanate of Pattani for trade.</td>
                <td>From <b>the start</b>, it was <b>chosen to be</b> a duty-free port <b>to compete</b> with the neighboring Sultanate of Pattani for trade.</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <i>*the bold facing here is for ease of readability and will not be used in the task.</i>

        <p>
            When paraphrasing, try to preserve as much of the original meaning as possible.
            Proper names (e.g. John, Microsoft, Apple), geographical locations (e.g. Northern Europe, Sultanate of Pattani),
            specialized technical terms (e.g. polymorphism, electro-pneumatic) or any word you don't know should be kept whenever possible.
            You should use simpler concepts/words/phrases in your paraphrasing.
            This means your sentence could potentially have more words than the original.
        </p>


        <h4> Compression</h4>
        <p>This involves deleting information that may not be relevant to understand the main idea of the sentence.
            For example:
        </p>

        <table border="1">
            <tr>
                <th>Original</th>
                <th>Simplification</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td><b>Think of all the ways</b>> everyone in your household will benefit from your membership in Audubon.</td>
                <td>Everyone in your household will benefit from membership in Audubon.</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>Mr Usta was examined by Dr Raymond Crockett, a <b>Harley Street</b> physician specialising in kidney disease.</td>
                <td>Mr Usta was examined by Dr Raymond Crockett, a physician specialising in kidney disease.</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <i>*the bold facing here is for ease of readability and will not be used in the task.</i>

        <p>
            When compressing, it is important that the resulting simplification does not alter the original meaning.
            Also, it is possible to make other small changes to keep the resulting sentence grammatical and fluent.
        </p>


        <h4>Sentence Splitting</h4>
        <p>This involves splitting a sentence as much as possible into several sentences in places where such a splitting could make the sentence simpler.
            The resulting sentences, taken together, should mean the same as the original sentence, be grammatical and fluent.
            For example:
        </p>

        <table border="1">
            <tr>
                <th>Original</th>
                <th>Simplification</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>He was involved in two conversions which turned out to be crucial. </td>
                <td>He was involved in two conversions. These conversions turned out to be crucial. </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>The federal government suspended sales of U.S. savings bonds because Congress hasn't lifted the ceiling on government debt.</td>
                <td>Congress hasn't lifted the ceiling on government debt. So, the federal government suspended sales of U.S. savings bonds. </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <p>
            As in the example shown, when splitting, it is also possible to make other small changes to keep the resulting text grammatical.
            Also, if no splitting is possible in a given sentence, leave the sentence as it.
            The examples provided only show a few possible ways in which a sentence could be split.
            Feel free to try out other ways.
        </p>

        <h4>Putting it all together</h4>
        <p>All the three transformations explained before should be applied whenever possible to simplify the given original sentences.
        We provide an example where all three transformations were performed:
        </p>

        <table border="1">
            <tr>
                <th>Original</th>
                <th>Simplification</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>If you are under the age of 18, you are required to complete at least 65 hours of behind-the-wheel skill-building including 10 hours of nighttime driving</td>
                <td>If you are under 18, you must complete 65 hours of practice driving. This must include at least 10 hours of driving at night. </td>
            </tr>
        </table>

        <p>The transformations performed were:</p>

        <table border="1">
            <tr>
                <th>Original</th>
                <th>Simplification</th>
                <th>Transformation</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td><i>under the age of 18</i></td>
                <td><i>under 18</i></td>
                <td>compression</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td><i>behind-the-wheel skill-building</i></td>
                <td><i>practice driving</i></td>

            </tr>
