First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I come from Canton,China,and i am a student.I am going to have a test about my degree ,and i really like to make friends with foreigners,to know something about different culture,different life ,and the last,my english can more and more fluently.Correction :
I come from Canton, China and I'm a student. I'm going to sit for a degree level test. I really like to make friends with foreigners, to know about their different culture and life. So, eventually I will become more fluent in English.
1. You must have a full stop at the end of each sentence.
2. "I come from Canton,China,and i am a student."
Correction : "I come from Canton, China and I'm a student."
- No need to put the comma before "and".
- "i am" - "I'm" is better.
3. "to have a test about my degree." - The sentence structure is wrong.
Correction : "to sit for a degree level test."
4. "to know something about different culture,different life."
Correction : "to know about their different culture and life."
- "something" is not needed.
- about who's? (their)
- "culture & life" can be combined by using cohesive device, "and".
5. "and the last,my english can more and more fluently."
- The sentence structure is wrong and you can't translate directly from Chinese.
Correction : "So, eventually I will become more fluent in English."
- "and" should be changed to "So". "and "is not a correct cohesive device in this sentence and you
have already used it many times.
- last = noun
eventually / lastly / finally = adverb
