What do you like about your home town?

× My hometown is Chengdu, China, which is the capital city of Sichuan province.
✓ My hometown is Chengdu, China, which is the capital city of Sichuan Province.
“province” 作专有名词一部分时通常大写为“Province”。另外在正式写法中对省名的大小写要一致:Sichuan Province。建议注意专有名词的大小写规则。
× It is a metropolis with diverse cultures and a long history.
✓ It is a metropolis with diverse cultures and a long history.
本句语法正确,但“diverse cultures” 可用“a diverse culture” 表示文化多样性整体,二者皆可。无需改动。
× For instance, it is famous for a local cuisine called hot pot, which tourists can't miss when visiting Chengdu.
✓ For instance, it is famous for a local cuisine called hot pot, which tourists can't miss when visiting Chengdu.
句子语法基本正确。可注意“cuisine” 指烹饪/菜系,用单数是可以的。此处无需改动。
× I love the food in my hometown, especially the hot pot, which is a renowned local cuisine.
✓ I love the food in my hometown, especially hot pot, which is a renowned local cuisine.
去掉定冠词“the”更自然:通常说“especially hot pot”而非“the hot pot”。建议在谈论菜名时省略冠词。
× It contains various ingredients, such as vegetables and meats, which can also be cooked in many different flavors.
✓ It contains various ingredients, such as vegetables and meats, which can be cooked in many different broths/flavors.
用“cooked in many different flavors” 不太地道,常用搭配是“cooked in different broths/sauces” 或“prepared in different flavors”。建议根据语境改为“cooked in different broths” 或“prepared in many different flavors”。
× Additionally, enjoying the hot pots is a social activity that brings people together.
✓ Additionally, enjoying hot pot is a social activity that brings people together.
“hot pot” 作为菜名应使用不可数形式,不加复数“hot pots”。改为“enjoying hot pot”。建议把菜名视为不可数名词。
× I have been living there since I was born 25 years ago, so I'm quite familiar with its cultures and history.
✓ I have lived there since I was born 25 years ago, so I'm quite familiar with its culture and history.
与“since” 连用常用现在完成时完成式(have lived)或现在完成进行时(have been living),但与具体时间点“since I was born 25 years ago”连用,用“have lived” 更自然。并且“culture” 更常用作不可数整体,故改为单数“culture”。建议用“have lived” 并把“cultures” 改为“culture”。
× Also, I have witnessed its development and flourishing, such as the new construction of skyscrapers and the improvement in people's living standard.
✓ Also, I have witnessed its development and flourishing, such as the construction of new skyscrapers and the improvement in people's living standards.
“the new construction of skyscrapers” 词序不自然,常说“construction of new skyscrapers” 或“construction of skyscrapers”。“living standard” 应为复数“living standards”。建议调整词序并使用复数形式。
× Yes, it is. As a central city of Sichuan province, it has thriving economy that provides many job opportunities.
✓ Yes, it is. As a central city of Sichuan Province, it has a thriving economy that provides many job opportunities.
缺少冠词“a” 导致名词短语不完整,且“province” 首字母应大写为 Province。应为“has a thriving economy”。建议在可数名词前加合适的冠词。
× In addition, there are also a wide range of facilities such as department stores, museums and cinemas to enrich people's spare time.
✓ In addition, there is also a wide range of facilities such as department stores, museums and cinemas to enrich people's leisure time.
主语与动词不一致:a wide range (单数) 应接单数动词“is”。此外“spare time” 在英语中常用“leisure time”。建议改为“there is a wide range of facilities” 并使用“leisure time”。
