短文改错 Do you know about the Internet It's one of the most popular (1)invention in our history.

1. 将invention改为inventions
2. 将Million改为Millions
3. 将with改为on
4. 将Because改为When/While
5. 将or改为and
6. 去掉has后的been
7. 将naturally改为natural
8. 将use改为using
9. 在to后加上be
10. 将they改为it
【解析】1.one of后跟名词的复数形式。故将invention改为inventions
2.millions of 是固定搭配,"数以万计的"。句首单词首字母需大写。将Million改为Millions
3.on a regular basis是固定短语,"有规律的"。将with改为on
4.句意:当人们在互联网上,他们可以通过他们的电脑接收图象或声。because是因为,when/while 当…的时候,根据句意,故将Because改为When/While
5.句意:他们可以通过他们的电脑接收图象或声音。图象和声音是并列的。故将or改为and
6. 此处become与been重复了,根据句意:已经变成孩子环境中的一部分,所以用become。故去掉has后的been。
7. 此处用形容词修饰名词environment。故将naturally改为natural
8. most of them与use之间是主谓关系,所以用动词的-ing形式在句中做状语。故将use改为using。
9.consider…to be "认为…是",是固定搭配。故在to后加上be
10. 这里指的是Internet,所以用It来指代。故将they改为it。
作文Dear Maggie,
I used to have the same problems as you. Therefore, I am writing to you to express my views.
First of all, be confident and believe in yourself, because confidence can make you study easier. Secondly, each night before you go to bed, a list of everything that you need to do the next day is supposed to be made clearly. Not only does it help you become organized, but also it can reduce pressure, helping you get a good rest.
What's more, you'd better make plans for the things you want to achieve. As long as your plans are reasonable and practical, they will end up making you more productive. Last but not least, you can get some help from your teachers and friends as well once you meet great difficulties. It's a good way to set some time aside for yourself to be with your friends.
I hope these suggestions can be of great help.
Yours,
Li Hua
