Its sad to be a non native English speaker because I make stupid mistake like this one (I wrote "likes read").
What is the general way of making know the difference between my child/my children?
I'm guessing if it's 'children' then ＇都＇would be used? 我们都孩子 (??). Wild guess though
our kid loves to read English books or Our child likes to read English books
I think it is "likes", or at least this is the translation my chinese teacher thaught me
You use "。" for a period, so as Tips in duolingo. In Tips, they use "？" for a question mark. Are both "。" and "？" mandatory in Chinese?
those are just the punctuation marks associated to the chinese keybard。。。you can use normal points andinterrogation signs
I am a Japanese. We use the same symbol "。" for a period and also for a question mark. Some use the symbol "？" for a question mark, but mainly in a horizontal presentation. It is a part of influences from English. The original presentation both for Japanese and Chinese are vertical. Duolingo could not handle the vertical presentation. Anyway, I will check the situation with a Chinese book, magazine, or newspaper, later in a library.
'Enjoy' is one of the possibilities so I believe it should be accepted as correct.
I put "Our child likes reading English books" and it said that it was wrong. As a native English speaker I feel like either translation should be accepted since they mean the same thing.

I vote for the acceptance of "Our child likes reading English books." as an acceptable answer.
Should the book be plural? Because i was rejected for writing "book", instead of "books"
Is there a reason why "English language books" isn't accepted? Since the characters refer to the English language an not to the country England, it is actually the better translation.
"English language books" conveys the meaning that the books teach English language. Similar to the notion of English grammar books which teach English grammar.
And by the way, I don't see English books as books from the country England. You can read signs written in English even in Japan. (note, we don't need to say signs written in the English language..)
That's what I think. Do you agree?
"Our child likes to read english book" only miss 1 's' in the last word and I'm wrong? :')
Yes. Based on my knowledge, the answer is wrong.
Whether it should still be accepted with a 'your answer has a typo' warning - is a different question.
But I thought I'd answer yours first.
I wonder, now assuming 英语书 are books written in English (Whatever nationality author may be), rather then English literature (eg: Terry Prachet, Douglas Adams...) So how would you say that they like to read actual English book, as of by English author?
