error_description: Punctuation Error: According to English grammar rules, 〈A few days before Spring Festival〉 is an adverbial of time; when connecting to the subsequent main clause, it cannot be separated by a period; the period 〈.〉 in the sentence should be changed to a comma 『,』 to make the sentence structure complete and conform to grammatical norms.

error_type: Adverb Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Adverb Error: According to English grammar rules and expression habits, 〈than〉 is usually used as a conjunction for comparison; however, this sentence is intended to express the sequential order of actions, requiring the adverb of time 『then』; the use of 〈than〉 in the original sentence does not fit the meaning, so 〈than〉 should be changed to 『then』 to correctly express the sequence of actions.

error_type: Verb Tense Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Verb Tense Error: According to the contextual meaning, this sentence describes a regular, habitual activity during the Spring Festival, which is a general fact and should use the simple present tense; the use of the past tense 〈made〉 in the original sentence does not fit the context and needs to be changed to the simple present tense form 『make』, so that the verb tense is consistent with the overall context and conforms to grammatical rules.

error_type: Determiner Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Determiner Error: According to English grammar rules and expression habits, the proper noun for a festival 〈Spring Festival〉 does not require the definite article 〈the〉 before it; the original sentence has an extra definite article 〈the〉 before 〈Spring Festival〉, so the redundant 〈the〉 should be deleted to make the sentence conform to English expression habits.

correction: in the
error_type: Preposition Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Preposition Error: When expressing the specific time "in the evening", the prepositional phrase 『in the』 is needed for modification; the original sentence lacks this prepositional phrase, and adding 『in the』 makes the expression of the adverbial of time more compliant with English grammar rules, making the sentence logic clear.
