Hello once 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
show you each week, like clockwork, in detail, one common English mistake made
by Chinese speakers. This is video number 50.
For the 50th time, I think
it's a very cool thing, I think it's a very smart thing and I think it's a very
practical thing for you to work to improve your English. I admire that
you speak English on some level already. So, nice going. In these videos I show you
a slide, and on the slide there are two sentences: One is the correct way a
native English speaker would say it, and the other is the wrong way that many
Chinese speakers say it. Your task is to decide which one is correct. Please
do that now. Read the sentences, listen to me read the sentences, pause the video
and think about your answer...and I will talk about the answer in the slide that
follows the slide.
Did that go well? And, if it did and you got your answer
with confidence --and you know why you got it right -- then you don't need to think
about this very much. You can move on. If you got it wrong -- or you just took a
wild guess and happened to get it right -- it just means you have to start studying.
To start you off on that studying path, I've given you three sentences to study
from. Memorize the sentences in their entirety, constantly review them, really
drill them into your head and put into practice what you've learned through
speaking writing or both...and kind of repeat that
cycle until you've mastered this.
Okay, just a few things before we finish. First, if you liked the video I hope
you'll click on the thumbs up below. Second, I hope you will consider
subscribing to my channel. I think it's a good idea as these videos come out like
clockwork every week...so hopefully you will do that. Third, I have an online
course called '50 Common English Mistakes' and it costs 20 euros...but if you follow
the link in the description box below it costs 10 euros, so I hope you'll think
about that. Next I am building up my website, so I hope you will pay that a
visit. Also, I have a Twitter feed so my Twitter handle is @epicenglishtips
so please follow me there. Finally, if there's anything that you
want me to work on -- if there's any English mistakes that you need help with ---
please write it in the comments below and I will try my best to address it.
Thank you for watching and see you next week.
