问题解答：

我来补答

1.大小写应该注意下,可能是复制粘贴时出的问题
2."both I and my wife"改为"My wife and I are both writers"较好；
3.第二句改为"While having dinner with our children,we often talk about our work."因为when后面一般是不接进行时态滴~
4.第三句改为"but nobody knows how litte they can understand"我想原文意思应该是“可孩子们其实不清楚,他们根本不能理解我们的工作”吧~
5."Until someday,unconsciously I heard my daughter Lucy shouting in depression at her five-year-old brother ..."这里需要注意的是1.hear somebody do /doing sth.当听见某人正在做什么时,需要用doing;2.unconsciously放在句首是因为修饰主语"I",而"in depression"放在shouting后是因为若放在句末就会产生歧义,到底"in depression"是修饰"I"还是"my daughter",所以放在此处能比较清楚的表示是my daughter "in depression"
