The ability to communicate is the primary factor that distinguish human

distinguishes one individual from another.

what will make one a happy and successful social being.

They need to take stock of the way how they interact and the direction

【解析与参考答案】
1. 将 which改为that。这里的句型是强调句“it is…… that……”;
2. 将 thus改为as或者because。后一小句是原因，不是结果。
3. 去掉how。“the way”后可以直接用状语从句。“how”已经有“the way of”的语法意义，
相当于“in a way or manner”.
4. 在 the more前面加上连接词 and。两个小句之间缺少表示承接关系的连接词。
5. 将 specially改为especially。这句插入语是表示特别列举，副词当然用especially.
6. 将 dominated改为dominating。这样-ing分词形式和 question的.逻辑关系才对。
7. make改为 have或者 deliver。“have / deliver sessions”指上课、开会等，搭配合理。
8. ability前面加定冠词 the，以此表示定指。
9. 两种改法。 (1)将specialized 改为specialize。 (2)在who和 specialized之间加上系动词
are。我个人觉得第一种改法更自然些。
10. 将 problems改为problem。“look into the problem”是使用频率高的搭配(根据语料库检
索) ，这一句中的“in the manner of doing”语义上也合适，有同学可能改为“in a manner
of doing” ;但英语的实际使用中常见的是“in a manner of speaking”，很少有其他形式。
