I don't think we should, Lee Young, because it appears to be homework.  We would prefer it if you would make the effort to decide which are correct, and try to revise the incorrect ones yourself;  then we will be happy to check your answers.

Mister Micawber · Answer

On the first set of 'Common Mistakes', Lee-- if your assignment is to make them colloquial, then you have done an excellent job. I would suggest only:

(19) I slept very little and ate almost nothing.

You did so well with the first set-- how about trying the second set too?

Leeyoung · Answer

this is my work, I have done that so please give me your opinion! Thanks!

Mister Micawber · Answer

Very curious, Lee-- if these are your work, then the previous set must NOT have been your work, since they were almost perfect, and these certainly are not even near perfect:

1. Is it really possible to judge someone's character by his or her face?
2. The Chinese seem to think so.
3. Over 2000 years of practice, Siang Mien’s art is to predict people's fortunes through the analysis of their faces.
4. It was developed in the ancient imperial court in China, and consists of jealously guarded secrets passed from the master to a few chosen apprentices.
5. The secrets of face analysis are hidden away in special books, where only a very few can look.
6. These secrets, although well guarded, must have got out, because practically all Chinese practice comes from face analysis.
7. Mothers tell their daughters that men with flat noses and small ear lobes make shy, rather dull husbands.
8. So how does this analysis work?
9. Well, to start with, people's faces are classified according to one to ten basic shades; each has its own special name.
10. The triangular face is an example called 'fire-face'.
11. A square one is known as 'wall-face', while a diamond-shapec one is called 'fade-face'.
12. There are even 'bucket-faces'!
13. Once the basic shape is decided, then parts of the face-- the eyes nose, chin, and mouth-- have to be analyzed in their turn.
14. People who do not have conventionally beautiful faces should not worry, as ugly people tend to be lucky.
15. Anyway, let us see how Siang Mien works, using Princess Diana for a practical example.
16. At the beginning, we can say she is 'fade-face' meaning that she must be strong-willed.
17. This shade also belongs to people who say that they had difficult childhoods.
18. As you know, Princess Diana's parents divorced when she was a child; this time must have been a period in great unhappiness.
19. Turning to more specific features, we see that one eye is a little larger than the other.
20. It is known, in fact, that people whose eyes are different sizes were often brought up by stepparents.
21. They also believe that charm is very capable of great jealousy.
22. We can see in this photograph that the top of her ears extend to above the line of her eyebrows.
23. People who have high ears like hers are likely to become famous before the age of 30, while those who combine eyes in different sizes are lucky.

Many of these were very difficult to understand exactly, Lee. The topic is interesting, however. I have a pie-face and two different ears-- what does that mean?
