English writing practice (26 April)
1. This young couple just got married last month, and they are not in a hurry to procreate.**
**"procreate" isn't wrong, but it feels very formal here. It would be more natural to say "to have kids."
2. In Chinese culture, getting married and having children is important to people.
**"Offspring" isn't wrong here, but "children" sounds more natural.
3. They tried hard to produce offspring for several years but failed.
**The word "reproduce" already means to have children, so you could say "reproduce" OR "produce offspring." Both sound formal.
4. He has a profound knowledge of history.
**"understanding" would work better than "knowledge" in this sentence when paired with "profound." We usually think of understanding as being deep or shallow, and knowledge as being a lot or a little.
5. It's ironic that Romanian yogurt is not world-famous, since it's of a high quality and tastes great.
**You could still use "yummy" here, but yummy sounds very casual.
