The plane rose to an altitude of 1,000 feet. The plane gained an altitude of 1,000 feet in x seconds. The plane flew at 300 miles per hour. Tuck shop is not a trade mark. (Tucker is an old word for food) School tuck shop School canteen A worker can be required to undergo a medical examination, often just called a �medical � informally. Sometimes a physical exam or physical. The nail varnish had been rubbed off / had worn off her thumbnail. Come off is fine. We just say thumb NOT thumb finger. She was wearing nail varnish, but there there was a patch missing on her thumb. |

I would say "cruised at an altitude of 1000 feet" for your first sentence. I agree with "tuck shop" - a cafeteria is not really a shop, in my opinion. I agree with "to have a medical" for your third example. The nail varnish "came off", "rubbed off", or "peeled off." |
