Repair of Air Conditioner

Aug 5, 2015 17:40
This summer, an air conditioner of our laboratory will be repaired.

To make matters worse, not only we can't use the air conditioner during this summer, but also we can't use our laboratory.

Since this year is my graduation year, I have to do many things regardless of the summer vacation.

Why... why such a repair...

So today, I was looking for a refuge, and eventually found it.

The space takes some money, but it's very inexpensive to students and looks like comfortable.

I had the move until a while ago, so now I'm tired.

Thank you very much for correcting my post! :D
> not sure what you mean here?
I'm sorry for the poor English. I wanted to say something like
"I was carrying my burden (such as PC, books, and research tools) to the new place just a little while ago. So now I'm tired."

    　Using "the" sounds more natural in this case.
  • This summer, an air conditioner of our laboratory will be repaired.
  • This summer, an air conditioner of in our laboratory will be repaired.
    　You can say "the air conditioner" or "an air conditioner." When you say "an air conditioner," you are saying that there is more than one air conditioner, but only one is broken. When you say "the air conditioner," you are saying that there is only one air conditioner and it is broken.
  • To make matters worse, not only we can't use the air conditioner during this summer, but also we can't use our laboratory.
  • To make matters worse, not only we can't can we not use the air conditioner during this summer, but also we can't use our laboratory, either.
    　When you want to say that you cannot do two things, it sounds more natural to write "either" at the end of the sentence.
  • Since this year is my graduation year, I have to do many things regardless of the summer vacation.
  • Since this year is my graduation year, I have to do many things regardless of the summer vacation.
    　Using "the" is not necessary here because "summer vacation" is something occurs every year. If summer vacation only occurs once, or if it only occurs rarely, then using "the" would be acceptable. In this case, however, "the" is not proper because it makes the reader believe that there is only one summer vacation.
  • Why...
  • Why...
    　You can use this for vernacular English or spoken conversation. However, it is best not to use it in writing.
  • why such a repair...
  • why such a repair...
    　Just like I said above, this sentence is okay for spoken English but it sounds unnatural for written English.
  • So today, I was looking for a refuge, and eventually found it.
  • So today, I was looking looked for for a refuge, and eventually found it one.
    　In this case, using "one" sounds more natural.
  • The space takes some money, but it's very inexpensive to students and looks like comfortable.
  • The space takes costs some money, but it's very inexpensive to for students and looks like comfortable.
  • I had the move until a while ago, so now I'm tired.
  • I had the to move until a little while ago, so now I'm tired.
    　It is best to say "a little while" instead of "a while." This is because "a while" means "a long time." To say "a little time," it is best to write "a little while." This may be a bit confusing because "a little while" is vernacular English and commonly used by native speakers.
I am very impressed with your English. You are able to produce complex sentences! Your mistakes are a natural part of learning advanced English. English grammar is very complicated and nuanced, so it always takes time to develop a more natural speaking style. Keep up the great work! あなたは手に話しますね！

Thank you very much for your corrections and helpful comments! :D Your explanations are really helpful for me, and I'm happy about your words. I would like to keep trying my best!

> When you say "an air conditioner," you are saying that there is more than one air conditioner, but only one is broken.
I understand well. There are two air conditioners in my laboratory, and both of them will be repaired, so I think I should have said "the air conditioners."

    　Like someone said. "Not only can we not etcetc" sounds more natural.

  • This sentence is perfect! No correction needed!

    　Hmm. I think adding "I" just sounds more natural here.
