（O）1. What I mean is that you’ll get the money by September.
「我的意思是…」受到中文影響，很容易說成My meaning is…，mean是動詞，正確說法是What I mean is…。「My meaning is…」會變成「我的意義是…」。
（O）2. Selfie sticks were not so popular in the past.
Past可以直接當作名詞。會說past time是因為以為past只能當形容詞。
（O）3. They had to send the documents yesterday.
必須應該使用過去式，所以用had to。
（O）4. Next quarter will be better.
比較級我們都學過，說話也要記得用better。
（O）5. She has arranged for a dinner with the clients.
安排好一件事在英文裡固定用arrange for，不要漏掉了。
（O）6. There is still a lot to be discussed.
說話一不小心就用中文思考，”There has”就脫口而出。「有…」正確的句型是There is…。
（O）7. He is a colleague of mine.
「我的事物」要用mine，多說幾遍就不容易再錯，a friend of mine，a colleague of hers…。
