答案：
将frightened更改为frightening。 frightened是“吃惊”，表示心理状态，frightening是“害怕”，表示事物的性质。
将appear改为disappear.'住在摩天大楼30层时'可以推测这里表现的是归属感的消失，而不是归属感的产生。
将Strange转换为Strange。 strangelyenough是固定的短语，经常作为插入语使用。 意思是“说起来也很奇怪，但最奇怪的是”。
4 .在say前面加上don't。 在这里，现在住在同一层的人见面也不打招呼。
将keep引导到keeps.in that的语句的主语应该是a sense，因此谓词必须是单数。 这句话的意思是，农村生活不同于这种孤立的生活，而是为了归属感把小村庄的居民联系在一起。
6 .将so改为but/yet。 以上论述了乡村生活的好处，以下是转换，使用but或yet。
7.for.'去远征'应该用go on a expedition，go for的意思是“去寻找，努力获得，拥护”。
将peaceful改为peace.of不应该使用形容词，所以应该改为peace。 这里需要注意的是，quiet既是名词也是形容词，所以不要被迷惑。
把their变成its。 这里的代词应该指上述the city。
10 .删除leaving后面的for，或将for改为from.leave表示“离开一个地方”，leave for表示“离开一个地方到另一个地方”，for后面的是目的地。 这个句子的意思是离开城市搬到乡下去，所以for是多余的。
