Find,Look for, Search, Seek (動詞篇一) - 英檢

大家好，我是來欣的王梓沅老師

長年教導台灣學生寫作和口說 有些東西是隨著程度提升會消失的

因此每個學生狀況不同 (inter-learner variability) 但是發現

中式英文(Chinglish)，這種現象可說是across learners 一直到已經托福考到100分上下

的都會有的問題 正好我在賓大和哥大研究的正是testing (托福出題) 和打破中式英文

的教學 (有報告和論文為證)


Chinglish: "Let's make a friend." (我們做個朋友吧) --> Let's make friends.
--> 到最後會知道老美要跟你做朋友 他直接說
Let's hang out /chill sometime. 不會在那聲明"我們做朋友吧"


因此我將英文文法語法分為10大類 以後會在ptt上免費分享
今天先分享動詞裡的一小部分
希望對大家有幫助!
