37、gland, Im what hichparticularly interested in. I believe I will have wonderful time this summer. aYours truly，Li Hua难项分析：第一处：inviteinviting 考查非谓语动词。Thank you for (doing) sth.为常用的固定句型，意为“因为(做)某事而感谢你” ，介词 for 后面要跟名词或动名词短语。故 invite 应改为 inviting。第七处：had have 考查动词的时态。此处是指学英语这件事从过去持续到现在，且可能继续下去，应用现在完成进行时。故 had 应改为 have。第九处：what which 考查定语从句的引导词。此处为非限制性定语从句，不能用 what 引导。引导词在定语从句中作介词 in 的宾语，且先行词 some customs 指物。故 what 应改为 which。
