4. him改為himself。代詞錯誤， 根據(jù)文意應為“自稱是”。

3. interested后加in。介詞錯誤。be interested in是固定詞組。

2. month改為months。名詞單復數(shù)錯誤。several修飾可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)形式。

1. 刪去the。冠詞錯誤。finish school意為“完成學業(yè)， 畢業(yè)”， school為抽象名詞， 前不加冠詞。

10. 刪去to。當不定式作make的賓語補足語時， 應省略to。

　　 答案及解析

9. make改為makes。此處make應與主語第三人稱單數(shù)the sun保持一致。

7. by改為in。in the fastest rocket為固定用法， 表示具體的運輸工具。
