改变我的错误

改变 - (to change) . e.g. 我要改变世界. I want to change the world.

改 (to correct) e.g. 改正这篇文章 / 错误 To correct my article / mistakes

But more commonly, we just say "改" rather than "改正" when it means "to correct".

一个中国朋友问我周末的时候去教英文。

问: to ask me a question . e.g. 他问(叫)我甚么时候结婚 (he asked me when to marry)

叫: to ask me to do something . e.g. 他叫(问)我去他家 (he asked me to go to his home)

我对他们孩子有很好的影响

I don't really get the meaning of it. Literally, you said "I made a good effect on their childen".

啊呀，反义词对了，他们孩子对我有很好的印象。

谢谢您！

I got it.

i think it's better using a verb 留 with a preposition 給

這些 /孩子/ 給我 /留下/ 很好的 /印象.

word-by-word: those/ kid(s)/ for me / leave / very good / impression

those kids leave a very good impresson to me

我花好几个小时看一个文章在这个URI: http://business.sohu...273866891.shtml

you should use "一篇" rather than "一个". In Chinese, "篇" "个", this kind of word called 量词, every Noun has one or more 量词 to use with. There are some rules to follow, but not every time.

是不是政府不想人们就买房子在比较底的价格然后卖这个房子在比较高的价格？华盛顿和美国的别的市政府也有差不多一样的法律，就是买房子以后得等两年才可以卖房子，要不然得付比较大的税费。对不对？

是不是政府不想人们就买房子在比较底的价格然后卖这个房子在比较高的价格？

I don't know why you use "就", I'll write it like this:

1.是不是政府不想人们在比较底的价买房子格然后在比较高的价格卖这个房子？

2.是不是政府不想人们在比较底的价买房子格然后卖这个房子，在比较高的价格？

In sentence 1, "在比较高的价格" is adverbial（状语）， while it serves as complement（补语）in sentence 2.

Your meaning is to say the government restrict real estate speculation. Indeed, there is a policy on this issue. But I think the government's new policy for floating population(流动人口) aims to give them housing subsidy. Have you heard about “户籍制度” in China which makes them difficult in buying a house out of their hometown.

BTW, In China we usually use "政策" not “法律”

对，所以博客标题下面，应该写：每个星期我要多看三篇文章

或者：每个星期我要看三篇文章

真好，这样子好像比较流利。

多谢

I don't know why you use "就"

I mistakenly thought "就" can be used here to mean "only“ as in the following sentence:

Isn't it that the government does not want people to only buy relatively cheap houses to sell them at higher prices?

At the time I thought it sounded ok, but now I see your proposed wording is much better.

Yes, I have heard about the ”户籍制度“， but did not know it is such an intricate system. I am getting a better grasp of it now, but there is still much to learn.
