Industrial revolution - help Sun May 22, 2005 13:33 pm  Industrial revolution - help
 

I need help from native english speakers.
my teacher (which doesn't speak a perfect english) wrote an essay about the industrial revolution, and I have to study it.
but i'm not sure about some sentences she wrote... they sound a bit wrong.
If you help me finding the mistakes in this essay, I'll be able to tell my teacher "ha,ha you're wrong!!!" and this will be a great satisfaction for me! Thanks.

My teacher wrote:
It was the passage from products hand-made in home to well-refined products made by machines.

Do you say "products hand-made" or "hand-made products"?
And is it correct to say "in home"? Cause I've always said "at home".
Please help!

I think she was trying to say this.

It was the passage that had hand-made products made at home and well-refined products made by machines.

It is difficult to rationalize telling someone else s/he is wrong, if you yourself do not understand what is right.

It gives great satisfaction if you can show your teacher that she is wrong? And how do you feel after your satisfaction vanishes?
