Concise Writting
Rewrite the following 97-word paragraph, keeping all its ideas but reducing the number of words. Try to use no more than 40 words.
We would like to meet face to face with our old rivals, but they still regard us in a way that shows a lack of confidence. We understand their frame of mind. They have a fierce sense of their own worth and dignity. They are short of temper. But when others have suffered, they have not been without concern, interest, or feeling. The feeling of ill will that they have had toward us has to a large extent diminished. We might become friends. A year ago, such a possibility would have have seemed too extraordinary to be believed.
Now write your version on the lines below. The first sentence has been rewritten to help you get started.
We would like to confront our old rivals, but they still regard us suspiciously.
