One of my students wrote about our city:
Curving with the river makes it possible to stand at the northern part of the city and see the lights of the southern part reflected by the river.
I think the sentence is incorrect. It should be:
The city's curving with the river makes it possible to stand in the northern part of the city and see the lights of the southern part reflected by the river. (or As the city is curving with the river, it is possible...)
What is the best variant to word this idea - my student's, mine or some other?
And is it "stand at the northern part of the city" (the student's variant) or "stand in the northern part of the city" (my variant)?
