2. 1) 去掉of。a great/good many用作形容词，意思是“很多的”，后面直接跟名词。

2) 去掉it。本句中as well as telephone是一个插入成分，E-mail是句子的主语，故it是多余的。

3) 在forced后加to。即be forced to do sth.或force sb. to do sth.

4) 在working后加to。to improve…是目的状语，不定式符号to不能省掉。

5) 将It is two year改成“It has been two years”; 将when改为since。“It is+一段时间状语+since”是一种固定搭配。

6) thirty改为thirties。表示“在某人三十岁时”用in one’s thirties。

7) apply to应改为apply for。apply to表示“向某人/某机构申请”；apply for表示“申请某项工作/职位/许可证等”。

8) together应改为together with。表示“和......在一起”。

9) it应改为those。it指代复数名词waters, it是单数，显然是错误的，根据习惯故改为those。注意waters一词并

没有错，它指江湖河海中的大片水域，可用复数形式。

Water作为水是不可数名词，waters表示水域，通常使用复数形式，作主语谓语动词用复数。

10) who应改为which或that。先行词不是指人，而是指物，关系代词不能用who,故改为which或that。

A Day I'll Never Forget

At the young age of 51, my best friend Mary A. Tolbert, my grandmother was taken away from me by a sudden ―massive heart attack.‖ Living in Sacramento I had just left my grandmother’s house. Earlier that Mon day evening in September my grandmother had just finished babysitting me at the age of ten. I gave my grandmother a big wet kiss on the cheek while she was lying on the snow-white velvet couch trimmed in baby blue. As she was watching her favorite game sho w, ―The Wheel Of Fortune‖ ―I’ll see you later.‖ I told her as I walked out the door. Although she did look a bit tired I assumed it was fro m dealing with me all day, an energetic ten year old. She convinced me she was feeling fine. Early that Tuesday morning is one that I’ll never forget. I was awakened at 3:00 AM, by some woman who sounded like her voice was hoarse, I didn’t realize it was my mother; she was informing me that she thought my grandmother was dead. I wasn’t fully awaken yet, but coherent enough to understand the words that came out of her mouth. (from https://www.360docs.net/doc/2812852669.html,)
