Here are some points:
1, Adobe is a material made of clay to build houses. I think you should know this word. I will send you a screenshot that shows the meaning of the word.
2, How do you say "但我们的成绩不但不比城里的孩子差, 而且还比他们的好" in English? I really like this Chinese expression style.
3, In China, usually there is a river surrounding a village to protect the village. Just in the northern part of the village, there is an entrance. So how do you address this river? Village protecting river?
4, You always delete the comma before the word "and" in my essay, but other native speakers sometimes add a comma before the word and tell me it was an "Oxford comma", so what point should I take?
Thank you very much!

1, Adobe is a material made of clay used to build houses.

I think you should know this word.

I really like this Chinese expression style.

or "I like the style of this Chinese expression"

3, In China, usually there is a river surrounding a village to protect the village.

Is it a moat?

JustThere is only one entrance, in the northern part of the village, there is an entrance.

So howwhat do you addresscall this river?

I'd call it a defensive barrier, or maybe just a moat.

4, You always delete the comma before the word "and" in my essay, but other native speakers sometimes add a comma before the word and tell me it was an "Oxford comma", so what point should I take?

Feedback

The Oxford comma is the extra comma in a list.

One, two and three.
One, two, and three.

The Oxford comma is optional, but it can make sentences easier to understand.

Moat protects cities, but if a river only protects a village, can we call it a “moat”?

JustThere is only one entrance, in the northern part of the village, there is an entrance.

There is only one entrance, in the southern part of the village.
