Hi, John! We received a message from an English learner about her birthday.
嗨，约翰！我们收到一位英语学习者发来的关于她生日的消息。
Let's give her some feedback.
让我们给她一些反馈吧。
Here is what Farhana told us about her birthday:
以下是法尔哈纳告诉我们的关于她生日的信息：
My birthday was on last 23 march.
我的生日是去年3月23日。
In my birthday no one wished me except my younger sister.
在我生日那天，除了我的妹妹，没有人祝福我。
I spent my whole day as like it is a normal day.
我就像平常一样度过了那一天。
We suggest changing the first sentence to the present tense to say when your birthday is.
我们建议把第一句改为现在时，表示你的生日是什么时候。
"My birthday is March 23rd."
“我的生日是3月23日。”
In American English, the usual order for dates is month, day, and year.
在美式英语中，日期的顺序通常是月、日和年。
So, instead of "23rd March," Americans usually say, "March 23rd."
因此，美国人通常说“March 23rd”，而不是“23rd March”。
Next Farhana wrote this: "In my birthday no one wished me except my younger sister."
接下来，法尔哈纳写道：“在我生日那天，除了我的妹妹，没有人祝福我。”
We can change the word order of this sentence to make it clearer.
我们可以改变这个句子的词序，使它更清楚。
"No one wished me happy birthday, except my younger sister."
“除了我妹妹，没有人祝我生日快乐。”
Farhana's next sentence is: "I spent my whole day as like it is a normal day."
法尔哈纳的下一句话是：“我就像平常一样度过了那一天。”
We suggest these changes: "As" and "like" are both used to make comparisons between nouns.
我们建议修改如下：“as”和“like”都用于名词之间的比较。
"As" is an adverb, and "like" is a preposition.
“as”是副词，“like”是介词。
We only need one of these to make the comparison.
我们只需要其中一个来进行比较。
Farhana could say: "I spent my whole day like it was a normal day."
法尔哈纳可以说：“我就像平常一样度过了那一天。”
Let's review our changes to Farhana's message:
让我们复习一下我们针对法尔哈纳的信息提出的修改建议：
My birthday is March 23rd.
我的生日是3月23日。
No one wished me happy birthday, except my younger sister.
除了我妹妹，没有人祝我生日快乐。
I spent my whole day like it was a normal day.
我就像平常一样度过了那一天。
Thanks for sending us your birthday message, Farhana!
谢谢你给我们发来你的生日信息，法尔哈纳！
