Hi everyone,I am currently trying to improve my conversational English, I got 7 in IELTS and 330+ in GRE, but my oral English is still a weak spot. If you were a native English speaker and willing to practice Chinese,we can definitely help each other out. P.S: I am from northern China hence my Mandarin is pretty standard : ).

    逛逛看is kinda strange for me,I'm from northeastern China,and the only **看 phrase I can think of now is 走走看. And 逛 ,in my mind, is mostly used when you want to go shopping.
    In northeastern dialect, we would use 溜达,转悠.
    In standard Mandarin we would use 出去走走/转转
    In your sentence,所以我想跟他们一起去看看 is good and idiomatic enough.

    1没有错误 2. 规模,通常,功能,空间,则,因而,为 北京有各种各样的规模的四合院。(各种各样形容规模虽然语法没有错误,但是比较奇怪,可以用"各种不同规模的") 复杂的四合院通常是由好几座四合院并列组成的。 正房给客人等作功能的客厅用 正房的功能是客人的客厅。(这里可以说"正房用于接待客人,功能相当于客厅"。) 院子是室外生活空间。有人喜欢在院子里种草,有人则喜欢(表canceled)养金鱼。 院子(让canceled)拉近(了)人与自然的关系,也让一家人交流(也给一家人提供了交流的场所),因而最为人们所喜爱。 3. 起,打交道,令,矛盾 只要关闭起大门,四合院(就)形成(了)一个封闭式的小环境。 住在四合院里的人不常(我觉得你的意思是"常常")与邻居打交道,自然有一种令人感到很亲切的气氛("人"不能有"气氛",这里可以说"自然给人一种亲切的感觉")。邻里之间有时候有矛盾,可是更多时候是互帮互助

    你真的好棒啊,引经据典,有些说法很地道! 有一天作者在(班公里?)上班的时候,发现了窗外房顶,墙头,树上已经落满了厚厚的层雪。他看着雪花发现了这还是去年入冬以来第一场雪----在新春佳节即将来临之际。(中文中,破折号一般用作解释说明,这里稍微有点奇怪) 下雪是让人喜悦的事情。小伙伴们,大人们都观赏自然的美景,纷纷跑到空旷的地方,忙着堆雪人,捏雪球,打雪仗。大家喜爱雪还有一个原因,只要下雪了,离新年就很近了。 这种天气使人诗意盎然(绿意盎然,形容植物。这里你可以用诗兴大发)。一千多年前白居易老先生住在不大的陋室,他亲自动手精心酿造了绿色(真的是绿色吗?)的新酒,于是他向友人发出邀请: 《绿蚁新醅酒,红泥小大炉。晚来天欲雪,能饮一杯无?》。(用双引号,不要用书名号) 白老先生和朋友们掌(尝)新酒的酒香,身旁炉火熊熊怡人。放眼窗外,在晶莹剔透(雾不能用晶莹剔透形容,矛盾了。可以说蒙蒙的雪雾中)的雪雾之中,朋友青衫一袭,长剑斜倚,急步而至,等待他们的将是把酒言欢,倾情长淡。 这首诗让人们为之尴尬的事情。(为什么尴尬了呀?) 文章的作者想白老(?)何尝不是在抒发一种远离尘嚣,归隐山林的淡泊心境,正是这场及时雪,使他找到情感流动的出口,找到一抒怀的佳境。而也正是他这首吟雪的诗,使人们对雪的认识上升到一个新的层次。雪能让人们在新的一年里心情愉快

    “昨天有下雨嗎?” 这种“有……吗”的用法很台湾啦。大陆人,特别是北方人不会这么说。 是说话习惯的区别,没有对错之分。

    In my point of view these three sentences are all correct.The third one is a little bit wired,but people who live in Shanxi province of China say things this way.They put a 了 at the end of every sentence.🌚So do not worry.

    培养someone/something,but most of the times we use 培养someone,and the subjects are mostly institutions or nations.such as 国家培养了一批人才。 It also can be used as noun, like 感谢国家对我的培养。培养+habit, is the same as develop a habit.培养早睡早起的好习惯。 培育 is more like breed, we can say 培育 plants and animals. such as 袁隆平培育出了新型杂交水稻。 the subjects of 养育 are always parents or other people who raised you up.For example,父母养育我成人 or 感谢父母的养育之恩。

    我们郊区里有一个小池塘。很多人喜欢在池塘旁边散步,小孩儿(爱)(弄)岸上的沙土。(爱——喜欢)(弄——玩) 可惜,有人把垃圾乱丢在岸上,池塘一步一步变成了很脏。(一步一步this means step by step——一点一点gradually)(变成了turn into——变得get) 幸而,有些善良的人为了照顾环境清理垃圾,所以我希望我们的池塘很快再会成干干净净。(幸而this is kinda wired, I would use 幸运的是which means fortunately or 然而 however)(善良 is a used to describe people who do good deeds greater than just picking up trashes, you can use 有责任心的 responsible)(所以我希望我们的池塘很快会再变得干干净净,and I do not see a causal relationship here, hence 所以is not that appropriately used here,but it is a minor mistake)

    许多人经常抱怨上下班的时间路上堵车。(有canceled) 尤其是, 对于城市中心来说,那儿的街很窄,在窄路上汽车很难(错车)。(关于——对于)(错车 this is a wrong word, i do not know what you mean sorry.)(The sentence is right from grammar's perspective,however,your expression is quite English. In Chinese,we seldom use this kind of plugged-in form,you can directly say 尤其是市中心,etc. ) 我觉得,一个好主意是骑自行车上下班。除了(避)免堵车以外,骑自行车有很多对身体的好处。(我觉得骑自行车上下班是一个好主意。)(免——避免)(骑自行车对身体有很多好处。)
