Using the methods above, revise this sentence to be more concise:
I was so sleepy at my desk yesterday that I was yawning and yawning, so I decided I’d better drink a coffee or else I might fall asleep and nap right there at my desk!
Explain how you revised the sentence to be more concise.
Revised sentence: “Feeling very sleepy at my desk yesterday, I kept yawning and decided to drink coffee to avoid falling asleep.”
Explanation: I removed repetitive phrases, like “yawning and yawning,” and combined ideas to streamline the sentence while preserving the main points. By using “Feeling very sleepy” instead of “I was so sleepy,” and stating the decision to drink coffee more directly, the sentence becomes clearer and more concise.
