    Usually I wake up after 7 a.m. I drink tea at about 9 a.m. I like to listen to the radio almost all day. My lunch is after noon [This is OK, but it is better to say "I have lunch after noon"]. I study English after 10 p.m. I like to drink coffee when I study English, but I try not to drink coffee after 12 p.m. I rarely go to sleep before midnight.

    Very good.

    1) I like to do something.

    We like to watch films

    But:

    I don't like to travel.

    He doesn't like to read books.

    2) I try to do something.

    They try to eat healthy food.

    The negative is slightly more difficult. There are 2 versions with slightly different meanings:

    (i) I do not try to do something - This means that I do not make an effort:

    He does not try to read difficult books, because he prefers magazines.

    I do not try to play football, because I am lazy.

    (ii) I try not to do something - this means that I make an effort to do something in a different way:

    She tries not to fall asleep during boring meetings.

    You try not to drink coffee after 12 p.m.

    I hope that this is OK :) Please ask if it is not clear!

    Well done!

    You wrote" I like hear radio almost all day.

    Try this: "I like to hear the radio almost every day."

    {

    Usually I wake up sometime after 7 a.m. I [have/drink/take] tea at about 9 a.m. I like to listen to radio [almost all day long/for much of day/quite a bit/most of the day/most of the time]. My lunch hour is [somewhat after noontime/ in the afternoon/ just after noon/ in the early afternoon]. I study English after 10 p.m. I like to drink coffee when I study English, but I try not to drink it after 12 p.m.(так!) I rarely go to sleep before midnight.

    }

    {drink coffee after 12 p.m.}

    В этом контексте я не уверен, что Вы имели в виду, потому что Вы написали, "I study English AFTER 10 p.m. (вечером)" И "...when I study English". На мой взгляд временная последовательность двусмысленная. Есть проблема семантики. Ну, "12 p.m." будет "полдень", а "12 a.m." будет "полночь", так как бы то ни было.

    { "take tea" против "have tea" } Можно сказать, но как-то британский. В Америке, говорят "have tea".

Make Corrections
  • Use the editing features to apply strikethrough, bold or different font colors.
  • Use the virtual keyboard to insert special characters in your reviews.
Teach by Example
  • Review a speaking exercise by recording your own audio comment.
  • Focus on correct pronunciation and speaking patterns.
