很多童鞋在說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候多半“憑感覺(jué)”，覺(jué)得意思到了，犯些小錯誤也無(wú)妨。但正是這些小細節，讓你的英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)起來(lái)非常不地道。
有時(shí)，即便語(yǔ)法正確了，但由于不符合英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言習慣（Idiomatic English），也會(huì )顯得很別扭。
比如，問(wèn)對方是做什么工作的，你也許會(huì )說(shuō)，
What is your job?
語(yǔ)法正確，但正常人不這么說(shuō)話(huà)，他們會(huì )說(shuō)，
What do you do?
所以下面這些細節，要重視起來(lái)，努力改正。
