Writeacher, I really hope you are there today because I have a lot of things to check. Thank you very much in advance.
1)It took many decades to build the capital. (True, False). In the extract it is said that "It took over 30 years to build the capital" (so it's true).
2) The stonework of Angkor is in good condition (not well condition) today.
3) You don't have to get a visa before flying to Siem Reap. (You can obtain one on your arrival there).
4) As she was ill, she had to call off her appointment with the doctor.
We called on him yesterday.
We cheered the cyclists on as they struggled uphill.
5) I tried to cheer her up, but she was beyond consolation. (I need a synonym)
su, ma era inconsolabile.
6) I think they should do away with blue lines (in Italy/double yellow lines??) and just let people park where they want to. (I need to write a simple sentence with "do away with")

Not all will work, but see what you think.
1 - 5 -- all are fine.
6. She wanted to do away with all the rules at school, but that was not realistic.
1) To determine if the statement is true or false, we look for evidence in the given extract that supports or contradicts the statement. In this case, the extract mentions that "It took over 30 years to build the capital." Since many decades refers to a long period of time, and over 30 years is indeed a long period, the statement is true.
2) To determine the condition of the stonework of Angkor today, we need additional information. The statement suggests that the stonework is not in good condition, but we do not have any evidence to confirm this. Therefore, we cannot determine its condition based solely on the given statement.
3) The statement suggests that it is not necessary to obtain a visa before flying to Siem Reap, as one can obtain it upon arrival. To verify this, we can consult official travel sources or contact the relevant embassy or consulate to confirm the visa requirements for traveling to Siem Reap.
4) The sentence "As she was ill, she had to call off her appointment with the doctor" indicates that due to her illness, she had to cancel the appointment. This means the appointment did not happen as scheduled.
5) To find a synonym for "beyond consolation," we can consult a thesaurus or use online resources such as synonym dictionaries. Possible synonyms could include "unconsolable," "uncomfortable," or "unreachable by comfort."
6) To write a simple sentence with the phrase "do away with," we can say "They decided to do away with traditional paper forms and switch to digital forms." This sentence suggests that something (in this case, paper forms) is being eliminated or removed in favor of something else (digital forms).
