Gin does need to work on vowel sounds. Also her listening skills when it comes to recognizing certain vowel sounds. The vowel sounds she struggles with the most are A, I, U and sometimes O. Though I wasn't the best match for her as a tutor, I know she'll do well with a teacher that can help her with vowel pronunciation skills.

    让你每天开心

    我昨天在网上看了一个特有意思的主意。有一个人给网友们推荐他们每天晚上的时候要在一张纸条上写一句关于在这天内让他们最开心的东西。(有人推荐了网友们一个方法,那就是每天晚上在一张纸条上写一句话,记录今天发生的最令人开心的事,)写完把纸条扔到一个瓶子里,这样<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">你</s>到了明年你每天早晨都能够从这个瓶子里掏出一张纸条,想起去年最开心的时刻!

    你觉得这是不是一个好主意呢?今天让你最开心的是什么?
    ------------------
    1."I have an idea"
    you can say "我有一个主意", also there are some more common expression for you: "我有个想法" “我有个主意” “我有个点子” ,you must noticed than I used "个" not "一个",that is because if you only have one thing, you can just use the quantifier in Chinese, for example "我有根刚笔 / 她今天穿的这套衣服挺好看 / 你帮我拿个本子过来吧"
    2.“(当)...的时候”
    it's looks like the "when"
    "You shouldn't bother her when she's busy" = "(当)她忙的时候不要打扰她"
    “每天晚上的时候(会做某件事)” maybe is ok, but it's a little weird.
    3.“一件开心的事”
    “一句 + adj + 话” “一件 + adj + 事” maybe you want say "一句 关于开心的事情 的话",but it's too long to handle this sentence, so you lost the "话" at the end of the sentence, "一件开心的事" is enough, but if you more pay more attention to "一句...话", you can move the attribute to the end "写一句话 概括/记录 今天发生的最开心的事"
    4.Comma or pause is import in Chinese, when you find your sentence is so long that you can't sure it‘s right, you can adjust the word order, and use more short sentence.

    Sometimes "们" looks like a "s" in teachers. “老师们正在一起布置圣诞派对舞台” "Teachers are preparing the stage for Christmas" But actually there's no "plural" in Chinese. “老师” can mesns "a teacher" also can means " teachers" And in your case, the problem is when you use quantity like "许多” added before the “老师”,you can't add "们” as a suffix. "我们学校有一千多名老师” “我们跟老师们一同工作”

    Thought about the history of "Dating" This video is talked about "dating" , and in my mind, it present the process of people fighting for freedom, especially as a women living in a men power social. In a long time, a women can't love with a men without her family's agreement, also she will be punished in a mentally and physically ways, if she got divorced. Even today, there still exists a punishment named "honor killing" in some religious country. Men has the same situation, people are treated as a source, not a human. People want take back the control of themself. They start to responsible for their own feeling and body, they respect different grown path of each other, as a reward, people get the freedom choice between love and not love, love with the same gender and the different gender. Actually, system of marriage has a huge revolution accompanied by the development of the times, divorce is allowed, cohabitation partner also have a legal validity in some country and open relationship is also possible in a marriage. Refer to this fact, I have a positive prediction about the future, we won't stay with somebody just follow the command of AI. We can't live as a living machine, love and the willing inside ourself is the most important. After all, the meaning of <1984> is to warn us, not teach us as a manual. rf: https://www.voicetube.com/videos/70312

    唉呀,我刚才完成了一个考试,但我没有通过它

    唉呀,我刚才完成了一个考试,但我没有考过,所以现在我有点沮丧,好在下个星期我可以再尝试一次。其实我不怎么喜欢考试,它们不能证明某人的技能水平,特别是<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">因为</s>它仅仅测试理论的时候。我记得在学校的时候,我常常问老师为什么需要学习某些东西,哈哈,我不是太好的学生。

    今天的天气还好,虽然一整天有点冷,但是总是有阳光,所以下午只穿了修身毛衣。在去上班的路上,我发现一些山上已经下了它们的第一场雪,哇,看起来真的好漂亮哦!

    朋友们,请看一下有什么错误?基本上能看懂?

    在传统意义上,能源安全的目标是确保以经济实惠的价格,以可靠、高效的方式保障能源供给,与此同时,减少环境破坏,<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">而且</s>维护国家的核心价值观和目标。能源安全的具体<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">的</s>内容取决于国家是生产国、消费国还是过境国。
    能源安全的问题在其结构中有几个方面:政治方面、技术方面、环保方面、经济方面。
    对俄罗斯而言,能源安全问题<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">的</s>主要<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">方面</s>在于:经济对能源行业及主要能源进口国和过境国的依赖、能源部门固定资产的大幅折旧、环境状况的逐渐恶化。对中国而言,能源安全方面的问题主要在于不利的环境状况和逐渐增长的进口依赖性。
    中国的能源形势正变得越来越严峻,由于整体需求的快速增长和不断增长的进口依赖度。截止2018年底,中国石油行业对外依存度达到58.1%,天然气<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">——</s>27.5%,煤炭<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">——</s>8.13%,对外依存度不断上升。基于以上数据,可以看出, 中国能源供应安全问题依然严峻。因临时能源供应中断、严重短缺或大幅涨价而对经济造成的损害程度与经济对能源的依赖、能源价格、国际能源市场和可持续性(包括战略储备、备用容量、替代能源、能源效率、技术力量等)有关。 结合中国的实际情况,能源供应<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">的</s>安全是一个必须首先得到保障的关键点。"一带一路"倡议对中国能源安全至关重要,也将中国与俄罗斯联系起来。增强能源合作,确保两国能源安全是俄中全面战略伙伴关系的重要组成部分,也是两国务实合作的重点领域。

    alice 给出的 correction 中有一处语病:
    正确用法 “原因是……” or “是因為……” ,“原因” and “因為” 两个词同时使用时,句子成分赘余。
    此类成分赘余在 native speaker 日常使用中也较为常见,在新闻稿中需格外注意。

    題目:最值得去看看的風景區。第2篇文章。

    (大家好,我在練習課後作業,需要寫一篇200字的文章,是一篇推薦我們去什麼風景區的建議文,需要列出三個原因,還需要用到“才,然後,被,安全,值得,順便,愛上,浪漫”這些詞)
    對我來說,最值得去看的風景區就是太魯閣國家公園。等一下我會給你三個原因說明為什麼。首先,從花蓮不太遠。我們可以坐巴士從花蓮到太魯閣,散步一整天,然後在民宿睡覺,下一天吃自助早餐,吃飽後就回花蓮。其次,太魯閣的自然環境非常非常美麗。值得去太魯閣一邊散步,一邊拍照片。跟愛人一起去的話,就肯定能通過一個很浪漫的週末,愛上安靜的大自然。我的第三個原因就是因為可以安全地參觀大自然,太魯閣的行山路徑很寬,不用怕什麼。在太魯閣沒有什麼窄的行山路徑,有窄行山路徑的話,才更危險。在太魯閣沒有什麼商店可以讓你方便地買雨傘,所以需要從花蓮帶你自己的雨傘,別忘了,否則你的衣服會被雨淋濕。
