中式英文常見錯誤

這篇是第一次提及English Daily網站,除了conversation之外,還有:Common mistakes in English, TOEFL vocabulary, learn American idioms, ancient Chinese stories, English grammar, high school vocabulary, proverbs for daily conversation, learn American slang expressions, movie reviews, movie lines, common sentences used by native speakers, glossary of correct usage, questions and answers, songs, words differentiation, advertisements, common errors等,多不勝收的英文知識。

本週的焦點英文學習網站就是它吧。

Common mistakes in English裡面有針對中式英文做修正,目前有二十幾頁,全部看完其實不會花很多時間,而且收穫頗豐,若將正確的句子大聲唸出來個幾次,更讚。以下皆取自於該網頁1至4頁。
