I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!短文改错（共有10处错误）Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish.I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!新概念英语第二册填词改错（8）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（9）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（10）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（11）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（12）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（13）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（14）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（15）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（16）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（17）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（18）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（6）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（7）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（8）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（9）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（10）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（11）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（12）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（13）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（14）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（15）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（16）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（17）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（18）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（6）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（7）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（8）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（9）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（10）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（11）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（12）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（13）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（14）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（15）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（16）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（17）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（18）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（6）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（7）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（8）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（9）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（10）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（11）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（12）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（13）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（14）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（15）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（16）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（17）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）新概念英语第二册填词改错（18）语法填空短文改错（共有10处错误）。
