    理想的工作。
    我还是不知道我想干什么。不过我觉得工作要使人得到满足，并且你应该喜欢你做的事，否则你将工作得很勉强。理想的工作对我来说不是为了金钱，而是为了享乐（乐在其中 would be more accurate）。然而有的人认为你不应该喜欢工作，因为工作只是赚钱的办法。如果你想好好儿休息， 就愿意工作努力。可是我觉得做你喜欢的事， 你就行不通。

    Good job! By the way, it would be better if you post the English version of the article as well :D

    Wow! There is no grammatical error in your article. I would suggest using more words like 虽然 or 后来 to specify causal relationship between sentences.

    Yes, they are the same (at least I can't tell the difference). You could also use 不只有 or 不仅有, they're all the same.

    今天我们去了大城市购物，到达大城市之后，一开始我们吃小吃，然后我们买了一些蔬菜和杏仁，我会用杏仁做蛋糕，我很好奇闻起来会不会很好吃(To tell if something is true -> 'if' in this kind of sentence means 会不会)！他们那里有一个圣诞市场，在我们去那里的时候，有很多人，并且有很多像摊贩一样的商店，所以我们尝试了一些食物。其实今天的天气很冷，所以在市场的时候，我们没几会儿就觉得很冷，幸好那里他们有生火取暖(火灾 means disasters such as forest fire. Are you serious...? XD)，这样让我们感觉更温暖，真棒！回家了之后，因为一整天都很忙，所以我马上就想要休息了。

    你觉得猫很自私吗？

    我今天读的纽约时报文章是关于猫的文章。作者很讨厌猫，认为猫很脏。起初我不明白这个看法。猫总是自己洗澡(洗涤 is for washing clothes or things)，它们为何(it could be 如何, but the usage is more likely to be appeared in Chinese literature)是脏的？作者解释：猫在房子里用一个盒子当厕所，扒自己的屎，然后跳上饭桌，在人吃饭的地方游荡。作者无法(不可以忍受 is correct, but rarely used)忍受这样的行为。

    作者还觉得猫很自私。她认为猫不爱它们的主人。反而是主人被猫利用和操纵，使猫可以得到(I would suggest adding 它们想要的)玩具和爱抚和食物。但是如果主人在房子里死去的话，24 小时内猫会从眼球开始把主人吃掉。

    无论这个作者说什么，我觉得无所谓。我还是很喜欢猫。它们是我最喜欢的宠物。


    Your article is almost perfect! And yeah, that writer is not telling the truth :(

    今天是很倒霉的一天。


    (1) 今天中午我去公车站等巴士来。但是因为前几个站车已经坐满了，所以我决定去前站坐巴士。一到前站就发现没有人上车，有了很多空位。甚至到了我原来等的公车站也没有人上车了。我觉得真是白忙一场了。

    (2) 晚上回家来的时候我算错末班车的时间，结果误车了。我坐了另外的巴士做到我家附近，然后打的回家了。误车的代价很大，我花了很多钱。

    (3) 这个内容我写完之后按错按钮了，现在是第二次写同样的内容的。

    希望明天(今天)鸿运当头!


    Almost correct! Hope you have a great day tomorrow :)

    I think the precise usage should be 地 and 的 (see https://www.chineseboost.com/grammar/de-grammar-summary/ for explanation). Nevertheless, 的 is one of the most powerful letter in Chinese, you can replace any 得 and 地 by 的. So it could be correct if you put 的 for both blanks.

    Hi Phil, this is an really interesting topic!

    You can type these words to Google translate for the correct pronunciation.

    I've checked some of these word and it seems like Google's answer are identical to the dictionary I used.


    To be honest, some of them are hard to tell even for native speakers. (or at least for me..)

    For instance, I've just realize that 秘鲁 should be "Bìlǔ".

    I think this makes sense, since the English name of that country is "Peru".

    But the first letter is way more likely to be pronounced as Mì (e.g. 秘密), so for 秘鲁 most people will just come up with Mìlǔ unless he/she is some kind of master of Chinese language.

    And the thing is, if you talk to others in the correct way (Bìlǔ), they probably won't know what you are talking about...
