PART 2 Find and correct ten mistakes/ errors in the following passage
Having a roof over your head is a basic human need, but there are 1.2 billion people in the world
without adequate housing. This may change thanks to a revolutionary, low-cost use of 3D
printers to construct houses. With 3D printing, materials are joined together or reinforced by
using a computer-controlled device to create a three-dimensional object. Two companies have
joined forces to try and ease homelessness around the world by building affordable homes using
3D printing. Tech company ICON has developed a method for printing a one-floor, 60-square-
meter house out of cement in a day for just $10,000. This is a fraction of both the time and cost
needed to build a similar construction using conventional methods.
ICON has teamed up with the non-profit, international housing organization New Story.
Together, they will start building homes in developing countries. Their joint venture will see 100
new homes constructed in El Salvador next year. New Story's co-founder Alexandria Lafci
acknowledged that the 100 homes were just a drop in the ocean. She said: "There are over 100
million people living in slum conditions, in what we call survival mode." She also saw
possibilities for 3D-printed houses to become common in richer countries in years to come.
However, she said that for the moment: "The tech is ready now to print very high-quality, safe
homes in the places we're building."
