　　两个学生的作业里有这两句话：

　　①“Singapore is a small and young country. It's achievements have been significant.”

　　②“Beside attacking student mobs, the author also criticized the goverment's indulgent attitude.”

　　两句中各有一个错误，即：“It's”和“Beside”;应该是“ Its”和“Besides”才对。“It's”是“it is”的缩写，“Its”才是所有代名词“它的”。“Beside”是“在旁边”，而“Besides” 才是“除此之外”。
