Any grammatical errors in the brief news?

New village to (or 'will') be established to protect ancient architecture

The design plans for the Cangbo village in Yongjia county has been approved. To preserve the original features (or 'village' or 'ancient structures'), the Yantou government has chosen a new place to rebuild the village.

The Cangbo village is located in the Yantou town and was founded in A.D. 955 (I think 955 A.D. is fine too). There are still many streets, houses, ponds, and ancient cypress trees which were planted (or established, if you want) in the Song Dynasty.

In recent years, as the villagers living standards have improved, the conflict between enviornment and habitat has become more serious.

(No problem with the last sentence, except for the 'and so on'. What does that mean?)

I would edit it as follows, but I'm an engineer so A2K's literary types may disgaree!



Not sure about the repitition of 'include' at the end, but can't think of anything else.

Hope this helps.

Hey, for the most part, Grand Duke and I are on the same wavelength here.

So quick response! Impressed me!

Cav, and so on = etc.

Thank you both.

Sorry, I'm lazy tonight. What's a virescence center? Thanks.

I think you meant "what is 'action center'", because "virescence area" is very clear no doubt.
The article was written by a Chinese writer. I always suspect if the writer has expressed the so-called "action center" clearly. I am Chinese so I understand what he meant.

"Action center", a center like casino, in which many people, such as oldies/elderly people are in activity for entertainment like playing chinese chess, watching TV programs, chat etc; or A Teenage Computer Center, a center for teenagers to playing computer

No. I mistyped, but you misunderstood, too. It's "virescence" I don't understand.

"Action center" -- in America we'd call that a community center, or perhaps an activity center; very close to what you wrote. But I've never heard the word "virescence"...

Wy, I think your sharp eye has caught the suspicious word "virescence".
Acoording to Chinese-English dictionary, it means:

The process or area of planting trees, flowers etc.

But AHD has indicated:
Virescence -- The state or process of becoming green, especially the abnormal development of green coloration in plant parts normally not green.

I think the Chinese-English dictionary has paid too much attention to the describing of "The state or process of becoming green", and turned a blind eye to "especially the abnormal development of green coloration in plant parts normally not green".

Yes, inspired by you, I felt the using of the word was improper there. But What word should be used there?

If my reading of the original is correct, "virescence" could be replaced by "park" or "parks".

I'm afraid it cannot be replaced with "park", because such as "business park" is also one of the "park area".

Now we need to seek a word or phrase describing "an area planting trees and flowers etc.

In common English usage, a business park would be expressed as "business park" or an amusement park as "amusement park".. The word "park" standing alone normally refers to a "green" park.

I've seen areas called "green spaces" in descriptions of new housing developments. It's an area of green meant less for playing outdoor games, etc., than just to be a public area of trees, grass, and other greenery so that the atmosphere of the area (both in terms of beauty and in terms of air quality) is improved... An area like this might also be called a "commons," especially if it were in the town center.

Nice! Flyboy and Wy. Now there are:

(1) Park;
(2) Green spaces;
(3) Commons.
