Proofreading Please

Dear teachers,


I learned the sentences as seen in the below from the text book.


(1) He tried again, but he only failed
=> He tried again only to fail.

(2) The train leaves here at ten a.m., and it arrives there at two p.m.
=> The train leaves here at ten a.m., arriving there at two p.m.

(3) He failed again, and we were disappointed.
=> He failed again to our disappointment.


Based on that, I made some sentences.

It would be highly appreciated if you could proof-read my sentences in the below:


Q1. He tried again, but he only failed, which disappointed him.
=> He tried again only to fail, disappointing him.
=> He tried again only to fail, to his disappointment.


Q2.The train leaves here at ten a.m., and it arrives there at two p.m.
=> The train leaves here at ten a.m. to arrive there at two p.m.
=> The train leaves here at ten a.m. with its arrival at two p.m.
=> To our surpise, The train leaves here at ten a.m. to arrive there at two p.m.


Q3. He failed again, and we were disappointed.

=> He failed again to disappoint him.
=> He failed again disappointing him.
=> He failed again to his disappointment.


Thanks and best regards,


David Kim
