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
talk about each week, in detail, one
common English mistake made by Chinese
speakers...and this is video number 30.
As I grow ever fonder of saying, I think
it's a smart, cool and a practical thing
for you to do to try to improve your
English and for speaking English in the
first place. If this is your first
video, I hope you go back and watch these
other videos because I think they really
do help if you put the work into it.
In these videos, I show you a slide, and
on the slide there are two sentences:
One is the correct way that someone who
speaks English as a mother tongue would
say it,
the other is the wrong way that many
Chinese speakers say it. You have to
decide which one is correct. 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.
Ok, so how did that go? Did you get your
answer with confidence, and your positive
of the reason it is like it is?
If so, then you don't need to think about
this very much. But if you got it wrong --
or you took a wild guess and happened to
get it right -- it just simply means you
need to start studying this a little bit.
To start you off on that process I've
given you three sentences. You should
memorize these sentences in their
entirety, you should constantly review
them -- and get them into your head -- and you
should put into practice what you've
learned through speaking or writing or
both...and just keep doing that and
eventually the bad English will leave
your head and the good English will come
into your head, and hopefully it'll stay
there.
Ok, 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
twenty euros -- but if you follow the link
in the description box below, it costs ten
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.
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 in the comments below, and I
will try my best to address it. Thank you
for watching, and see you next week.
