我有两个室友。 他们每天很多时候睡觉在我的沙发。他们不帮我洗我们的房子。 Chat GPT: 我有两个室友。他们 经常(1)在我的沙发上睡觉(2) ， 但(3) 他们不 帮忙(4)打扫(5) 我们的 房间(6) 。 1) This is just a better phrasing 2) My sentence structure was all over the place. 3) I'm actually not sure this is quite the best word here. Not ChatGPT's fault, but I think 也 might be better. 4) Sometimes 帮 can be used on it's own. I wonder when that is. 5) I actually don't know this word 6) I'm thinking this implies rooms instead, whereas the word I used may have suggested the outside of the house? That or it was just the wrong use of that word all around.

今天我想要做我的微博率干净。

我喜欢野营。在我的小时候我和家人去一起野营了。我们会登山，玩儿游戏，也看小说。 ChatGPT: 我喜欢野营。在 我小(1) 时候，我和家人 一起走去(2) 野营 过(3) 。我们会 爬山(4) ， 玩游戏(5), 还会(6) 看小说。 1) This makes sense. Who else's childhood could I possibly be talking about. 2) I'm actually not sure of this structure. ChatGPT says my original phrasing was technically correct, but this feels more natural. 3) Makes sense, this is in the past, not a completed action. 4) Looks like this is closer to the meaning I wanted. 5) The textbook has the phrase as 玩儿游戏 I wonder if this is erhua. The textbook has done that a couple of times. 6) I also asked ChatGPT about this one. My original was also correct, this phrasing adds some nice nuance. 还会 seems to link 看小说 more closely with the previously listed things.

I wanted to put 坐在 in, but knew I needed a 上 and didn't know where else to put it. This makes sense. 2) I don't know this word. Is this the second time it's come up? Perhaps I should add it to the rotation. 3) I think I get it that the 我的 was redundant. 4) Also interesting. I would have read this corrected phrase as "cannot" but I checked and Google translated it as "will not". Pleco doesn't give a use for 会 that fits "will not" either. However, I get that something was needed between 不 and 帮助.

I wonder if a city/town/village always needs a descriptor after it's name. Probably only when it's not immediately clear in context. 3) A word I've studied, but have no real fluency with.  4) I know 滩, but I haven't seen in context much and don't really know how it's used. This makes sense.  5a) I haven't seen 售 before 5b) Another word I've studied, but didn't have context for. 5c) This is new, but I know the characters and it makes sense. 6) It drops the 如 in 比如。蔬菜 makes sense and would be more clear. 7) I can see how the 子 might make this more clear, but I'm not sure what needs it when. Why does 种 need it but...
