Hi Wanderer, How are you doing lately..

about your ?

1. You have to register to enrol for the exam by May 1st at the latest(deadline)

if you mean to say they need to register to take an exam and May 1 is the deadline..
You have until May 1 to register.
You have until May 1 to register for the exam.
You have to register for the exam ON OR BEFORE May 1. (on or before- expression for deadlines)

*"to register to enroll" is redundant for me

2. It's becoming extremely expensive to maintain the museum(upkeep)
It's becoming expensive to keep the museum.
It's becoming expensive to maintain the museum.

becoming EXTREMELY expensive- extremely is not necessary because you mean to say "cost is increasing"

3. The committee said they liked the first proposal best(preference)
The committee said they like the first proposal best.
4. They have always been allowed to do what they want(freedom)
ok
5. The refugees are in serious need of warm clothes(badly)
The refugees BADLY need warm clothes.
The refugees DESPERATELY need warm clothes.
(let me check about the "warm clothes"..or maybe "clothes to keep them warm)
6. If you promise not to laugh, I will show you our photos(long)
Promise me you'll not laugh, when you see these photos.

sentences..ANYONE? this is what all my Brain juices could offer...hahaha

Oh sorry. I think you misunderstood my questions. I've been searching for ones who could help me to rewrite the sentences using the words in the brackets.

1. You have to register to enroll for the exam. Deadline is on May 1.
2. It's becoming expensive to keep up the museum.
3. The committee said they preferred the first proposal.
(let me check if it should be prefer or preferred...anyone at English-test?)
4. They have always had the freedom to do what they want.
5. The refugees badly need warm clothes.

6...long, why long? ..etc (End of Thinking Capacity...hahaha).. I can't see the connection of "long" for this sentence.

You have to use the exact words without changing them and use only one sentence.

No, it's mistake.

The correct sentence is "I agree with Grasi02".

In the first sentence you should rewrite it by only one sentence, in the 2nd sentence you must use upkeep, in the 3rd sentence you must use preference.
