Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Yang. He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street.

So I had to move apart. Mr. Yang now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn’t seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure life will be better in the future.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】去掉第二个to

【2】living→ live

【5】which→ that

【4】were→ was

【5】I→ We

【6】big→ bigger

【7】took→ takes

【8】Therefore→ However

【9】that后加a

【10】year→ years

【解析】

【1】去掉第二个to visit作“拜访，访问” 讲时，是及物动词。

【2】living→ live used to do sth.意思是“曾经做某事（但现在停止）” ；注意区分be used to (doing) sth.该短语意思是“习惯于（做）某事” 。

【3】which→ that that引导同位语从句，说明an order的内容。

【4】were→ was 在从句中，主语the old building是单数，谓语动词仍用单数。注意along with不是并列连词，所以它引导的短语不能被看作并列成分。

【5】I→ We 人称代词的逻辑错误。根据语境，这里指我们（我和住了多年的邻居）分开了。

【6】big→ bigger than before提示上文应使用比较级。

【7】took→ takes “去市区要花费相当长的时间” 是杨先生的现状，故表语从句也要使用一般现在时。

【8】Therefore→ However 根据语境，上下文之间构成转折关系，并非因果关系，故应改为副词however。注意连词but通常不用逗号隔开。

【9】that后加a new subway line前需加不定冠词a，泛指“一条新的地铁线” 。

【10】year→ years a few（一些）修饰可数名词复数。
