My friend Nick told me story about his experience back in the US, that was very interested. One day he was having a yard sale and the old man living next door come by to help. As the old man looked over the things in the yard that was to be sold, he stopped at a box of golden ball for Christmas trees. On the box was a card say, “25 cents each.” “You will never sell these for that much.” he told Nick. Convincing, Nick has brought the price up to 10 cents a piece. Without a moment’s delay, my neighbor picked up the box but announced, “I’ll take them.”

Answer

1.story前加不定冠词a

2.that→which

3.interested→interesting

4.come→came

5.ball→balls

6.say→saying

7.Convincing→Convinced

8.up→down

9.my→his

10.but→and

【解析】

1.story前加不定冠词a 因为单数可数名词一般不单独使用，表示一个故事，故story前加不定冠词a。

2.that→which 此处是非限制性定语从句，故that改为which。

3.interested→interesting 从句的主语是which，表示事物，应用interesting“令人感兴趣的”作表语。

4.come→came 整篇文章都用的是过去时，故come改为came。

5.ball→balls a box of +可数名词复数形式，故ball改为balls。

6.say→saying 本句是主句+系动词+表语结构，故say只能用非谓语形式，根据与主语是主动关系，故用saying作定语，修饰card。

7.Convincing→Convinced convince为及物动词，应用过去分词作定语。

8.up→down 根据上下文，此处应是降价，故up改为down。

9.my→his 根据前文此处应是his。

10.but→and but前后的动词是并列关系，故but改为and。
