Well done Nirava, you spoke well about the Chinese New Year festival and Chinese names/family names. It was all very interesting! :-)

    Hi there, in this case, you have to ues"的" like : 谢谢你看我写的练习 Because in this sentence, "练习" is not a verb but it is a noun. I mean "我写的"=S+V, and "练习"=Object. (although now ,many Chinese people sometimes can't use both of "的" and "得" correctly.) By the way, in Chinese, we put "得"after a verb . "得" has no meaning, just uses it like a particle.

    不喜欢黑猫

    ”你喜欢猫吗？”

    ”不真的。”不 or 不喜歡 is better.
    “哦。但猫是可爱的。”  your sentence is correct. And I give you another one which is natural : 但貓很可愛

    “不。黑色的猫害怕。” who scares black cats?  you can put a subject before "黑色的貓" ,and the verb should be put before Object.

    eg: 我害怕黑色的貓



    “发疯！黑鸟比黑猫害怕。”  in this case, I suggest this: "神經病"or"你瘋了嗎?"  and 黑鸟比黑猫害怕 should be like this: 黑鳥比黑貓更令人害怕

    “他也害怕。我不喜欢都东西！” 他們都令我害怕 ，我不喜歡這兩個東西／動物　is more clear.

    “行。”  or 好吧

    我每天的常规

    我的日常

    my opinion: 日常 can be described daily life or daily routines. 常规 is correct grammar but it's not so nature.


    我平时上午11点左右起床，可是经常我起床得更早因为我女友上午11点上班。

    我平時"需要"上午11點左右起床，但我女友上午11點上班，所以我通常更早起。
    my opinion: I add "need=需要" . That will be clear.
    Because "我平时上午11点左右起床，可是经常我起床得更早" means "I get up at 11 but  I usually get up before 7 ". So I will confuse you get up at 7 or before 7?
    And in Chinese, Because=因為 Clauses we put in the end of the sentence more nature.

    我们都非常喜欢咖啡所以我做咖啡；她喝卡布奇诺和我喝黑咖啡还有浓咖啡。

    我們都非常喜歡咖啡，所以我煮or泡or調咖啡；她喝卡布奇諾，我喝黑咖啡或濃咖啡。

    my opinion: "做" we use it in making food or something. Coffee or drinks which you need to do it by yourself we say:煮or泡or調, but if some cold drinks or alcohol you can say"調"。

    我们都平时吃一点点早餐，水果还有羊角面包。

    我們平時早餐都吃一點點，像是水果、羊角麵包。

    我女友上班后，我常常做音乐还有弹吉他。

    下午一点我吃中餐，我女友是泰国的厨师所以我们平时在冰箱有菜！

    我在下午一點吃中餐，我女友是泰國的廚師，所以平時冰箱裡會備菜。

    从2到5点我女友有2点工作休息所以她来家。

    我女友工作２點休息，所以她會回家直到5點。

    my opinion: "she go home" we say "她回家了" , but if you are at home and someone back home we can say"她回來了"

    她常常必需配料和她不会开车所以我开车去中国商店。

    她常常必須準備配料，但她不會開車，所以由我開車去中國商店。

    我们来家的时候，我准备上班。我从5到6点平时开始，然后从11点到1点我下班。我来家，吃晚餐然后睡觉。

    我們回到家的時候，我準備上班。我平時上班時間5-6點開始，然後11-1點我下班。我回到家，吃完晚餐然後就睡覺。

    my opinion: go home=回家, 回到家=you go home and you are at home.

    爱情中最重要的事

    我觉得最重要的方面是尊重，

    我覺得最重要的是彼此尊重，

    到时候你们要互相了解并且支持。

    "兩個人之間"ｏｒ"你們之間"要互相了解並且支持對方。

    当然人们需要有深的感情，

    當然，兩人也需要有很深的感情基礎，

    可是不够。

    但這樣可能還不夠。

    结婚以后，夫妻有共同的生活，

    This sentence is OK!

    我确定这是不太容易。

    我確定做到這些不太容易。

    大家有缺点，

    "每個人" or "大家"都有缺點，

    所以我们最好全同意我的爱人。

    My opinion: I am not sure if you mean:"so we better agree our lover's all opinions "or......, and it's so hard to correct.

    you could just type down your English, then I can help you.

    可惜很多夫妻有复杂的情况，是以能耐原谅还重要。

    可惜夫妻之間有很多情況是很複雜的，是以能夠原諒和"忍耐"o"r包容"很重要。

    我买了老花镜。

    >>我買了老花眼鏡。

    My opinion 1: "鏡" in Chinese could be "mirror" or"glasses". So, "眼鏡" will be more clearly . 

    我的建議1:鏡在中文中，可以是表達"鏡子"或者"眼鏡"，所以用"眼鏡"這個詞彙更清楚！

    我四十四岁，然而已经变成老花眼了。

    >>我四十四歲，然而已經有老花眼了。

    My opinion 2: We do not know from myopia into presbyopia, or normal vision into presbyopia, so as far as possible without "變成" the word.

    我的建議２：因為不知道是正常視力變成老花眼？還是近視眼變老花眼？ 單純說"有"老花眼就可以了。



    我发觉了老花眼的时候我受到打击。

    >>當我發覺我有老花眼的時候，感覺受到打擊／打擊很大。

    我买了红色的老花镜，以后性情愉快。我能看四声的记号。
    >>我買了紅色的老花眼鏡以後，心情很愉快！ 現在我能看到／我可以看到四個聲調記號了。

    昨天和今天那个我喜欢的女孩不在

    >>"我喜歡的女孩，昨天和今天都不在＂or    "昨天和今天，我喜歡的女孩都不在。"

    My opinion1： if the title of artical  is long,use punctuation to make it easy to read and get the point.

    我的建議1：如果文章的標題很長，正確使用標點符號比較容易被閱讀和馬上抓住文章的重點。 


    我最近买过自己的溜冰鞋

    >>最近買了溜冰鞋，

    My opinion2：If you are not in order to emphasize "this pair of skates was bought for  me", but just want to say you "buy" this action does not have to write the possessive.

    我的建議2：如果沒有特別要強調＂溜冰鞋是買給自己的＂，而只是想強調＂你買了溜冰鞋這件事／動作＂，溜冰鞋是自己的不用再強調一次。

    然后 今天用我的溜冰鞋去溜冰

    >>然後，今天我穿溜冰鞋去溜冰 OR 今天我穿著新買的溜冰鞋去溜冰。

    My opinion 3 is same as opinion 2.

    建議3如同建議2。

    可是那个我很喜欢的女孩不在。我怪她在哪里。

    >>可是我很喜歡的那個女孩不在，

    My opinion 4: This is just a  common grammar error.

    我的建議4：犯了一點常見的中文語法錯誤。


    >>我不知道她在哪裡？ ｏｒ 我怪自己竟不知道她在哪裡。

    My opinion 5：I'm not sure whether you  expressed like this:"I blame myself for not knowing where she is?" OR you just said "I do not know where is she?"     So I left two kinds of sentences.

    我的建議5：我不知道你是在表達＂我怪我自己不知道她在哪？＂還是＂我不知道她在哪裡？＂

    所以我給你兩個句子。


    现在有8天没有看她。 我好像她。中国里要听那首歌如果你好想一个女孩？

    >>已經有沒有看到她了，我好想她。在中國，如果你好想一個女孩會聽哪首歌？

    My opinion 5："我"   frequency of the word appears too high and can be appropriately omitted.

    and we usually put if clause in the beginning of the sentence in Chinese.


    Have a nice day!  written by Nirava
