こんにちは。 質問文は最初が小文字で変なので以下のように直してみました。 In my country, it is very cold in February. であれば○になるでしょう。文法的に問題ないので受験では問題ないと みなされます。 In the water, thre was little water. は意味不明な感じがします。訳すと「水の中には、水がほとんどなかった。」 となります。waterには水域って意味もあるようですがそれでも違和感があります。 In the pond, there was little water. 池の中には、水がなかった。 とかであれば○になるでしょう。これも文法的に問題ないので受験では問題ない とみなされます。

バツになりますね。小文字で文をはじめてピリオドを打って終る。こんなのテキストでは使えません。 大文字で始めるのなら、最初の文はいいとして(でもin my countryが文頭に来るだけの理由が、前後関係にないとどうかと思いますが)、後の文のIn the waterというのは変ですね。水の中にほとんど水がなかったーーめちゃくちゃです。これは大文字ではじめても、使えません。 以上でいかがでしょうか?

in the water は、失礼しました。 コップの中には、、、といった文章でした・・・。 倒置法のような表現が、英語でも使えるのか、だとしたらその時にカンマは必要なのだろうか? ・・・といった疑問から、この質問をしました。 ご回答、どうもありがとうございました!

    すいませんが最近英語力のライティングをあげようと英作文をまいにち書くようにしてます。 レベルのひくい英作文ではずかしいのですが。できれば文法や細かい間違いを指摘して頂けると幸いです。 I have been there when I came to Australia first time. I think that the time flows really slowly in Cairns. This is because Cairns is a kind of tourist city. Many people are coming from all over the world. It may look like Hawaii. There was one thing that I could not believe was that someone walked with strip to the waist. Someone call the police and catch him if he would do it in my country. So I didn’t believe it. And I have one more thing surprising me is that many people have tattoos in Cairns. My country image of tattoo is very bad. There are few people have tattoo in my country. For example, like a group of gangster. My mother said “you mustn’t have a tattoo” before going to Australia. However, there are many tattoos includes women as well. Cairns is small city but people are good and commodity price is not expensive. Cairns is one of the city that live easily.
