Some friends, especially those who are just learning English, often make the following mistakes.
, l: r4 i% m( _! y( H1 i+ Y  m
' b2 Z/ O2 P6 `7 `3 k5 U1. My husband has a good job. She makes over 100,000 dollars a year.) a, x# ]7 u5 o( y
    My girlfriend did not live with me, because he is still in China.% m; g, ?( ^; g1 Z# G/ N
0 ]: A1 t8 P6 s1 x
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. I do not like big rain, I like small rain.
! b" J: _3 p' X3 a$ R3. Please close your phone.2 K' c4 c; g/ J. Q
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?; c8 c& v1 r. P
The correct way to ask the question is like this: how do you say... in English?
