ANY ONE CAN HELP ME WITH ENGLISH PLEASE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you need help with specifically?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you check this sentence and let me know if it need to be corrected. I'm originally from russia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mom, Dad, Jing Mei are living in San Fransisco, California Chinatown. It takes place in her home and in Mr. Chong's house, and at the talent show at church.

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

it's all good! one question, who's home is it? Is it Mom, Dad, and Jing Mei's home?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mom's house

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

yep then the sentence is perfect! although you might want to say Mom's house instead of her, just to make it easier for the reader :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have another one :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was very important to her mother that her friends and family came, and it makes bigger conflicts between the mother and daughter.

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

who is "her"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt say the name of the mother in the story

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Jing mei's mother

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

ohh ok. so Jing mei is the daughter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

So to let the reader know who "her" is, you should put Jing mei instead for the first one ;) so like this: It was very important to Jing Mei's mother that her friends and family came, and it makes bigger conflicts between the mother and daughter. Instead of "makes" i think you should put cause, it'll be a better word ;) but the rest is perfect!!!!! :D

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

i mean "causes"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@littlenugget Story told through Jing-Mei personal perspective, and the mother is who the main conflicts is with.

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

what exactly do you mean by this? like is the mom having a good life because of her daughter? ohhh ok :) thanks, that'll help a lot :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@littlenugget do you see it now

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

Yes! you should put: The story is told through Jing-Mei's personal perspective, and the mother is who the main conflict is with.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@littlenugget Human vs Herself. Jing Mei is struggling to figure out who she is.

OpenStudy (littlenugget):

yep that one's good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@littlenugget It sets up a conflict with Jing mei. "American was where my mother's hopes lay" from book called Two KInds
