Hi again everyone, and welcome back to 'One
English Tip in One Minute for Speakers
of Chinese (and its many language
varieties)'. In these videos I discuss each
week, in detail, one common English
mistake made by Chinese speakers...and
this is video number 28.
I say this every week -- and you
probably really don't believe me because
I say it all the time, but it really is
true: I think it's a very smart, cool and
practical thing in today's world to do
to try to improve your English. Good
for you, and I hope these videos are
helping you.
In these videos I show you a slide and
on the side there are two sentences: One
of them is the correct way that a native
English speaker would say it,
the other is the wrong way that many
Chinese speakers say it. Your job is
to decide which is correct. Again, do
that now. Read the sentences,
listen to me read the sentences, pause
the video, think about your answer and I
will discuss the answer in the slide
that follows this slide.
Hopefully that went well for you, and
you didn't have any major trouble with
this. If so, you can sort of move on
and not think about this so much. If
you got it wrong -- or you just happened to
get lucky by guessing and getting it
right --
it just means you have to study a little
bit more. It's really not that much work
to get past this mistake. To start you
off on the process, I've given you three
sentences you can study from. You should
memorize the sentences, you should review
them constantly -- it's very important to
review -- and you should put into practice
what you've learned through speaking or
writing or both...and just keep up that
process until the bad English is out of
your head and the good English is in. And
use the other many other resources
around you to help you with this as well.
