My friend Nick told me story about his experience back in the US, that was very interested. One day he was having a yard sale and the old man living next door come by to help. As the old man looked over the things in the yard that was to be sold, he stopped at a box of golden ball for Christmas trees. On the box was a card say, “25 cents each.” “You will never sell these for that much.” he told Nick. Convincing, Nick has brought the price up to 10 cents a piece. Without a moment's delay, my neighbor picked up the box but announced, “I'll take them.”

Answer 1

【答案】①story前加不定冠词a

②that→which

④come→came

⑤ball→balls

⑥say→saying

⑦Convincing→Convinced

⑧up→down

⑨my→his

⑩but→and

【解析】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了我的朋友Nick在美国的一次庭院旧货出售的经历。
①句意：我的朋友Nick给我讲了一个故事。story是可数名词，表示一个故事要用a story，故在story前加不定冠词a。

②此处是非限制性定语从句，故将that改为which。

③从句的主语是which，表示事物，应用interesting“令人感兴趣的”作表语说明物的特征，故改interested为interesting。

④本文讲述的是过去的事情，要用过去时态，故come改为came。

⑤a box of +可数名词复数形式，故ball改为balls。

⑥本句是主句+系动词+表语结构，故say只能用非谓语形式，根据与主语是主动关系，故用saying作定语，修饰card意为：卡片的内容是，卡片上面写着，故改为saying。

⑦句意：Nick确信，价格已降到每件10美分。 convince为及物动词，应用过去分词作定语。故改Convincing为 convinced.

⑧根据上文Nick确信，价格已降到每件10美分。故改up为down。

⑨根据前文此处应是他的邻居，故改my为his。

⑩句意：拿起盒子并且说..,前后的动词是并列关系，故but改为and。
