Dear Linda，

We have some excited news for you. Maria is going to have a baby! We don’t tell you right away. At first the doctor said she might have some trouble of the baby. Now he says she is just fine. She still works on his paintings every day. But she stopped from teaching her art classes.  There is going to have another big change in our life.  We’re moving back to New York! It’s very much nicer to be near the families for something important like a baby. Maria grew up in Mexico，but she doesn’t have a family here. So that makes even more important to us.

                                                            Yours，

                                                             Dick

Answer 1

1. excited →exciting。消息是“令人激動(dòng)的”。

2. don’t →didn’t。  下一句暗示了這是描述當(dāng)時(shí)的情景，應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)。

3. trouble后的of→ with。have trouble with sth.是固定搭配，意為“在……方面有麻煩”。

4. his→ her。此處指Maria。

5. 去掉from。 stop doing sth.停止做某事；stop sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事。二者意義不同。

6. have→ be。There be…句型的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用be 動(dòng)詞或其他表示存在意義的動(dòng)詞，如live, stand, lie 等。

7. 去掉very。very much 多用來修飾動(dòng)詞；very 不能修飾形容詞、副詞的比較級(jí)，much 則可以。

8．families→ family。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，這里指一個(gè)家庭。

9. but→ and。前后為順接關(guān)系。

10. makes后加you。這里動(dòng)詞make后接復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)。
