Re: The Chinese Rural Environment
"China's Rural Environment" is okay.
I'm glad I could help.

Re: The Chinese Rural Environment
My goal is not to be a translator. I just hope my English writing would be flowing and smooth. But I fail to write any articles by myself so I have to
practice my English on the
basis of Chinese articles. I know this is not a good method but I don't have a better choice so far.
Hi RonBee,
I am wondering why you replace my original word "exercise" with "practice"? Could you please tell me the difference? They are same in Chinese in English-Chinese dictionary.
Thanks in advance!

They are not the same. You can't exercise your English. (You can exercise your dog, but that is something entirely different.
) You can practice (British: practise) your English by using it. Similarly, you might practice playing the piano to get better at it.
