It has to be the same word begining with "c" but depending on where the stress is used in the word it changes the meaning, I would also like to know about other words that dont have to begin with "c" and are also the same word but the stress changes their meaning. Examples of this are: ADress and adRESS the upper case letters show where the stress is used, where one is the noun and the other is the verb.

What is wrong with this sentence?

When people gave up the hunter-gatherer way of life and began to cultivate the soil and grow their food, they often became less mobile, built more substantial residences, and they developed more effective means of storage.

I work in Bristol (UK) and the city is at the moment having a new shopping centre built, originally it was going to be called Merchants Quarter - but some people said it was too closely linked to the slave trade (personally I thought those in the slave trade were traders not merchants) Any way the new name has been broadcast on TV and Radio as Cabbot's Circus. Cabbot after John Cabbot (a local lad) who discoverd Newfoundland. So far every one who has heard of this name Cabbot's Circus thinks it is a load of bullocks so if you had to come up with a name for this new shopping centre what would you call it? Bear in mind it must have Cabbot in it. also what do you think of the name Cabbot's Circus?

Please write your conclusions anywhere between 50~ 150words.
The following passage isn't homework but a test question which I am practicing now.I'd like to see how other people (especially native English speakers ) answer it.


Just as computer technology advances almost daily and back roads become highways and then freeways,many people believe that surely by now the tracks and camps on Everest are permanent fixtures that are improved each year. After all,in the Alps you can climb to huts highabove the snow line and sleep in a comfortable bed and order food and wine from a concierge.
For Everest climbers,there has been progress,too,but it lies only in the technology of our equipment and communications. The mountain remains.........
