那天不是问你是不是这里长大的，习惯用英语，另一个说不象

她说从标点符号能看出来，该断的没断。我觉得你的英语作为non-native speaker已经很好了，很优美的，你不是问她怎么能看出来区别，我想等她的回答学习一下的，可她又不答了，不介意的话，我可以举两个例子吗？

比如：

1. Part of that routine is a dinner out for just the two of us leaving the kids behind at Grandparents'. (I think this is better: Part of that routine is a dinner out for just the two of us, leaving the kids...)

再比如， 用词的顺序，有小小别扭

2. To correctly set expectation, I would like to point out that people are generally laid back where we are. (No major mistake, just doesn't sound quite native. How about this: To set expectation correctly, I would like to point out that people in our area are generally laid back-->I guess that's what you meant, right?)
