答案：1 將no改為 not
2 將place改為land
place是可數(shù)名詞，作“地方”講，而land意為“土地，田地”是不可數(shù)名詞。例如：
Solitude is a good place to visit but a poor place to stay.
當(dāng)你偶爾光顧時，獨處是一個美妙的境地，但是如果久留，它卻是一個糟糕的地方。
There is a vacant piece of land near the house; we can build there.
3 將started改為start
start應(yīng)使用不定式，以和前面的find，build一致。
4 將working改為work。
work應(yīng)該用第三人稱復(fù)數(shù)，和live一致。另外，family在這里作“家人”講，是復(fù)數(shù)。
5 將anyone改為everyone
這里是要用everyone指每個人，而不是要用anyone泛指。
6 將but刪除
7將before改為after
根據(jù)上下文判斷，這里要表達的是二戰(zhàn)之后。
8 將But改為 And
根據(jù)語意，這里要表達的是遞進關(guān)系，而不是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。例如：
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. And that’s my religion.
當(dāng)我行善事，我感到坦然；當(dāng)我行惡時，我感到內(nèi)疚。這就是我的人生之道。
9 將it改為they
10 在house the中間加入介詞as
regard…as 作“把……當(dāng)作……”講。
