Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your grace. Please let me know that I ought to live life in the presence despite of circumstances– accepting things as they are. Stop worrying but trust Your love. How often I have forgotten that You have a plan on my life and You want me simply be. Whatever I believe that I ought to do, Lord, You will enable.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

[註]:  Your 字的 “y”字母大寫, 是因為用它表示上帝的尊稱.

英语语法在篇章写作上常犯的错误是动词时制的用得不对.  语法上讲得很清楚, 现在式只用在表示常发生的事件, 例如, 习惯, 不变的定律等等. 一般篇章写作较为常用的时制是过去式. 今举例说明动词时制使用的一致性.

例如: 下面的段落篇章写作发生的错误是我国学生很不容易发现的.

      My nearest approach to death came last summer.  I was walking slowly down a little-traveled country road when a car came suddenly over the rise in the road.  It dashes wildly down the road, careening and twisting as if its driver is crazy.  I think he is going to strike me, and I jump across the ditch and over the fence.  Thus, I saved my life. 

[注] : 红字代表时制使用错误.

  

改写如下:

     My nearest approach to death came last summer.  I was walking slowly down a little-traveled country road when a car came suddenly over the rise in the road.  It dashed wildly down the road, careening and twisting as if its driver were crazy.  I thought he was going to strike me, and I jumped across the ditch and over the fence.  Thus, I saved my life.
