What you did well 做得好的地方
✓ Your sentences are longer and carry much more detail this time — groceries, cosmetics, books, toys, and a comparison of the two countries' return policies.
✓ 如果…就… (rúguǒ… jiù…, if… then…) used correctly: 如果我可以等,我就网购.
✓ 不用 + verb (búyòng, don't need to): 我不用带孩子去超市 — very natural.
✓ 7 of your 8 translations were correct, and every comprehension answer was right.
✓ You also reached for 等等 (děngděng, and so on) and 差不多 (chàbuduō, about the same) by yourself — both spot on.
Green underline = something I changed. Tap it to see what you originally wrote and why.
我住的村子里没有商店,所以我常常网购。如果我急需什么东西,我可以去附近的城市或者村子,但是如果我可以等,我就网购。我每个星期在网上买菜。因为我是单亲妈妈,这个办法很方便,我不用带孩子去超市。我也会网购化妆品、衣服、书、玩具、打扫房子的用品等等。我觉得在英国,最有名的网站和 App 是亚马逊。很多人用 Temu,但是我不用。
黑五很有名。现在黑五常常会持续一两个星期。在英国,我们一月也有打折季。
我觉得英国和中国的网购差不多一样,但是在英国,如果你不喜欢一个东西,你十四天里可以退货。如果东西有质量问题,你三十天里可以退货。
我想在拼多多或者淘宝网购,但是在英国不能。我希望将来可以!
从批改往前走一步Two extensions from your corrections
上面的批改里已经讲过每个句子为什么要改,这里不重复。下面两个是批改里没有展开、但和它们有关的内容。 The pop-ups above already explain each fix, so this section doesn't repeat them — it goes one step further.
A. 会 / 能 / 可以 —— 三个都是「can」,差在哪里?
批改里说「会」和「能」不能连在一起用。那到底该用哪个? 三个词都能翻译成 can,但意思不一样。 The correction said 会 and 能 can't be stacked. So which one should you use? All three translate as “can”, but they mean different things.
所以你那句「我希望将来可以」最合适——你说的是「将来有机会、被允许在中国的网站上买东西」。如果说「将来能」也可以。 So 可以 was the best choice in your sentence: you meant “I hope one day it will be possible / allowed”. 能 would also work.
B. 「我住的村子」这个结构,还能怎么用?
批改里说了「在」要去掉。这个结构在中文里用得非常多,值得多看几个例子:说话人先说一整句话,再加「的」,后面接名词。 The correction covered the 在 dropping out. This structure is extremely common in Chinese: put a whole clause first, add 的, then the noun.
送外卖的骑手 — the riders who deliver food
我最喜欢的一道菜 — my favourite dish
在法国长大的孩子 — children who grew up in France
什么时候「在」要留着? 看这个「在」是不是句子本身要说的意思。 When does 在 stay? Ask whether the 在 phrase is part of what the clause is saying.
✓ 我住的村子 —— 村子本身就是你要说的那个地方,不用再说一次 → 去掉
在法国长大的孩子: 在法国 tells you where they grew up — it's part of the meaning, so it stays. 我住的村子: the village IS the place you're describing, so you don't name it twice — 在 drops.
七月到八月:台风、洪水和高温July to August: typhoons, floods and extreme heat
读的时候,粉色的词点开看拼音和意思,蓝色的词点开看小知识。 Tap the pink words for pinyin & meaning, and the blue words for a culture note.
今年夏天,中国很多地方的天气都很极端。光是七月,就有三次台风影响中国。
7 月 3 日,今年第一个台风「美莎克」在海南登陆。
7 月 11 日晚上,超强台风「巴威」在福建登陆,然后一路北上。12 日河北下了特大暴雨,13 到 14 日辽宁、吉林、山东也下了大到暴雨——这些地方离福建有一两千公里。气象台说,台风会把海上的水汽一路往北送。
雨下完,洪涝灾害就来了:到八月初,北方一共有 20 条河的水位超警,国家拿出 3 亿元帮辽宁和吉林灾后恢复。
7 月 25 日,第三个台风「红霞」来了,中央气象台发出今年第一个台风红色预警,南方沿海的渔船都提前回港了。
今年和往年比,到底怎么样? 中国气象局八月四日公布了数据:
· 雨:七月中到八月中,华北和东北的雨比往年偏多 2 到 5 成。
· 热:七月全国平均气温 23.5 度,比常年同期高 1.3 度,是历史同期第二高。全国有 40 个气象站的最高气温破了纪录;新疆艾丁湖到了 50.2 度。
八月初,中部和北方都发了高温预警,山东发的是橙色预警。气象局每天还发「高温中暑气象预报」,告诉大家今天中暑的风险有多高。
天气一变,生活也跟着变。台风来的时候:学校放假、公司在家上班,火车和飞机停运。高温的时候:很多城市让户外工作的人上午早点开工、下午晚点上班,有的地方还给高温补贴。
你那边呢? 今年夏天热不热? 下大雨的时候,你和孩子的生活会有什么不方便?

你的录音反馈Feedback on your recordings
Progress since your previous homework
Your speaking speed continues to improve. Compared with your 07.26 homework, you are maintaining a faster pace while using more varied sentence patterns, such as 大部分时间、更喜欢、比、如果、可以 and 不用.
The pronunciation of 上 in 网上 is also clearer than it was in your previous homework. This is a noticeable improvement.
A. Reading practice 朗读
The passage was generally clear, even though it contained more difficult vocabulary and numbers. 双十一 was pronounced well, and repeating 号 once was simply a natural self-correction.
· 购物节 — gòuwùjié:Make the two falling tones in 购物 clear, and let 节 rise naturally.
· 光棍节 — guānggùnjié:Try to pronounce it as one complete word. 棍 has a falling fourth tone, while 节 has a rising second tone.
· Keep neutral-tone words such as 个、着、的 short and light.
B. Speaking practice 口语
You expressed your own ideas clearly and gave good reasons for preferring online shopping. It is natural to pause while organizing an independent answer.
· 商店 — shāngdiàn:The first time you said it, the word was not fully clear. Keep 商 high and level, pronounce the sh and -ang clearly, and make 店 fall.
· 种 — zhǒng:In 很多很多种东西, 种 means “kind” or “type” and has a third tone.
· 不太 — bú tài / 不用 — bú yòng:Before a fourth tone, 不 changes to a rising second tone. Make bú rise and 太/用 fall clearly.
· 鞋子 — xiézi:鞋 has a rising second tone, while 子 is short and light.
· Also keep the final syllables light in 买过、东西 and 衣服.
C. Your goal this time: the tone change on 不
上次说过「一」和「不」的变调,这次的目标是把「不」做稳——它出现得特别多。 We met this rule last time; this time the goal is consistency, because 不 comes up constantly.
不 + 一/二/三声 → bù(还是四声):不吃 bù chī · 不行 bù xíng · 不好 bù hǎo
课文里也有:不过(bú guò)、不用(bú yòng)、不能(bù néng)。
D. 你的回答 · Your answer, lightly adjusted
我在网上买很多东西,也买过很多很多种东西。大部分时间,我更喜欢在网上买东西,因为我觉得比去商店方便,而且网上没有那么多人。我不太喜欢人多的地方。但是,如果你想买衣服或者鞋子,我觉得去商店也很好,因为你可以试试,不用退货。
Compared with your previous homework, you are speaking more flexibly and expressing more complete ideas. Your next goal is to make tone changes such as 不太 and 不用 more consistent.
E. Voice homework 语音作业 🎤
请像上次一样,自己录成音频文件,再通过 italki 消息发给我。 Please record these as audio files and send them as attachments in an italki message, the same way as last time.
- Read aloud 朗读 (about 30 seconds): read the third paragraph of the passage — the one about warning colours. 中国人看天气,常常先看预警颜色。蓝、黄、橙、红,红色最严重。八月这几天,湖北发了高温黄色预警,山东和河北发了高温橙色预警,黑龙江发的是暴雨红色预警。
- Tell me 说一说 (about 1 minute, say as much as you can): 今年夏天你那儿的天气怎么样?下大雨或者太热的时候,你会做什么?
What has the weather been like where you are this summer? What do you do when it pours with rain, or when it's too hot? Useful: 今年夏天特别… / 比去年… / 一下雨就… / 我觉得… / 说实话…
Pronunciation tip: watch the 不 tone change (不用 bú yòng, 不是 bú shì), and say the colour words clearly — 蓝 lán, 黄 huáng, 橙 chéng, 红 hóng.
