Some friends, especially those who are just learning English, often make the following mistakes.; H- |* \. l  G$ T. J2 _& `/ S
$ a6 R& l: E3 t. q
1. My husband has a good job. She makes over 100,000 dollars a year.4 ]! s. y3 @1 j" c
    My girlfriend did not live with me, because he is still in China.
$ u& J$ L2 w5 ^6 Q9 u& @. ^/ v) \- R6 o4 d' C. z6 z
The reason to make this mistake is not due to grammar knowledge. One reason might be she and he have the same pronunciation in Chinese.
2 ]; X; j/ [! k' @; q; T) |3 s# W& l$ p# ]/ l
2. I do not like big rain, I like small rain.
* k7 h# |* A# }; {& }$ a) n3. Please close your phone.' K2 H2 J- |' z( _  c  H: ^! W4 T
These mistakes are made because of direct translation. Another similar mistake is: I very like Canada. You really like Canada, or you like Canada very much.

4. How to say: heavy rain, light rain, and turn off your phone in English?4 w' u) v) S3 d# U
The correct way to ask the question is like this: how do you say... in English?
