Herschrijf het volgende stukje tekst zodat het woord “I” er niet meer in voor komt. Probeer de zinnen en tijden zoveel mogelijk te behouden. Dit houdt in dat je in de meeste gevallen de passive voice zult moeten gebruiken. Noteer je antwoord op een blaadje.

I have looked at bacteria in milk and how they grow under different circumstances. Your company asked me to do some tests, to see how fast they grow in relatively cold temperatures (2 degrees Celsius), room temperature (20 degrees Celsius), and warm temperatures (30 degrees Celsius).

I also checked how the temperature influenced the development of lactic acid in the milk. I could test this quite easily, but it was not possible to do both things with the same samples. Therefore, I had split the samples into two per temperature before I placed them in their thermos-chambers.

My hypothesis was that both bacteria and lactic acid would develop more quickly the higher the temperature was. I was right: after four days I found almost no extra bacteria or lactic acid in the milk samples that I kept at 2 degrees, while the samples that I had kept at 30 degrees turned out to have a very low PH, and an enormous amount of bacteria.

Rest of the paragraph may stay the same.

How the development of lactic acid in the milk was influenced by the temperature was also checked by me. This could be tested quite easily, but it was not possible to do both things with the same samples. Therefore, the samples had been split into two per temperature, before they were placed in their thermos-chambers.
