error_type: Verb Choice Error
error_severity: 5
error_description: ① Verb Choice Error: According to the context, this means 'Christmas Eve is the day before Christmas Day'; the original sentence lacks the linking verb 『is』, resulting in an incomplete sentence structure, so 『is』 needs to be added to form a complete subject-linking verb-predicative structure. ② Determiner Error: According to English expression habits, the original sentence needs to add the definite article 『the』 to specifically refer to the date attribute of 〈Christmas Eve〉, to conform to expression habits.

error_type: Preposition Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: ① Case Error: According to English writing conventions, the first letter of proper nouns needs to be capitalized; 〈christmas day〉 is a proper noun meaning 'Christmas Day', so 〈christmas day〉 needs to be changed to 『Christmas Day』 to conform to conventions. ② Preposition Error: According to English expression habits, 『on』 should be used to indicate a specific date instead of 〈in〉, so it needs to be changed to 『on 24 December』 to conform to expression habits.

error_type: Verb Voice Error
error_severity: 3

correction: trees
error_type: Case Error
error_severity: 1
error_description: Case Error: According to English writing conventions, non-proper nouns in a sentence do not need to be capitalized; 〈Trees〉 in the original sentence does not need to be capitalized, so 〈Trees〉 needs to be changed to 『trees』 to conform to conventions.

error_type: Conjunction Error
error_severity: 5
error_description: ① Case Error: According to English writing conventions, non-proper nouns in a sentence do not need to be capitalized; 〈An EVERGREEN〉 in the original sentence does not need to be capitalized, so 〈An EVERGREEN〉 needs to be changed to 『an evergreen』 to conform to conventions. ② Conjunction Error: According to the context, the logical relationship in the original sentence should be parallel rather than alternative, so 〈, or〉 needs to be changed to 『and』 to connect two related things.

error_sentence: Of course, An EVERGREEN tree, or an artificial tree that looks similar, that people cover with decorations and coloured lights and in their homes or outside at Christmas.

correction: look similar and
error_type: Sentence Structure Error
error_severity: 4

correct_sentence: Of course, an evergreen tree and an artificial tree look similar and people cover them with decorations and coloured lights in their homes or outside at Christmas.

error_type: Pronoun Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Pronoun Error: According to the meaning of the sentence and English grammar rules, the verb 〈cover〉 needs to be followed by the objective case; here, it intends to express 'them', requiring the objective form 『them』, so 『them』 needs to be added to conform to grammar.

error_type: Word Redundancy Error
error_severity: 4

error_sentence: People put up the decorations and the tree and started to feel Christmassy at last.
correct_sentence: People put up the decorations and the tree and start to feel Christmassy at last.
error: started
correction: start
error_type: Verb Tense Error
error_severity: 3

error_type: Punctuation Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: ① Case Error: According to English writing conventions, non-proper nouns in a sentence do not need to be capitalized; 〈PUDDING〉 in the original sentence does not need to be capitalized, so 〈PUDDING〉 needs to be changed to 『pudding-』 to conform to conventions. ② Punctuation Error: According to the context, this means '-like', so a hyphen 『-』 needs to be added to form the compound adjective 『pudding-like』 to conform to the context.

error_sentence: Christmas pudding, a hot PUDDING like fruit cakes, traditionally eaten in Britain at Christmas.
correct_sentence: Christmas pudding, a hot pudding-like fruit cake, is traditionally eaten in Britain at Christmas.
error: cakes,

error_type: PoS Confusion Error
error_severity: 5
