9. Eror Correction

The pronunciation was my best on that sheet that's for sure because I take a heed of pronunciation. Maybe we can have some time to work on "how to speak like Sonja?" :) I think accent is one the most significant think about learning languages. When you have an accent like a native speaker than you probably have a good English. (at least it makes an impression like that) I'm trying hardly on speaking with accent but wonder... whatelse I can do??

Whatever... the other thing on the same cover of the page is eror corrections;

What is wrong with these phrases?
  • the use of "the" here is wrong because Jim Hawkins is a person and already special and unique
  • I think we cannot say for a person that he/she is lack of self-confidence. Instead, he is not self-confident should be more suitable.
  • I think there is no such a world like "poorness" in English but we have poverty:)
  • He couldn't succeed to be a man can be good instead of success to be a man.
  • open ?? open what:)) I see some direct translations from Turkish to English here:) turn the tv on might be work well here.
  • I think we need to be more specific here because anybody who read this sentence can interpret it in a different way. Are they bad people because they are behaving bad or you think they are bad in the first hand because they behaved bad to you. Actually they can maybe treat you badly or something but not behave. Hope everybody got what I mean here.
  • Ohhh who sad that or Is he sober when he sad this:)) Is it necessary to say what is wrong here?? Okey, okey If you are a man and also you have a husband not a wife than probably you should be living in Holland or something...
  • What are you growing?? An artichoke in "farmville"?? Heyy you have children mannnn... I think that is our problem you know we thought that it is as easy as growing something on a field. So we should be carefull RAISING our children and not to over irrigate them, all right...
  • listen to them might be well. Not rasping at least.
  • We can say that Marie joined or was the contestant in the show...was called, named as "Dotto" which was famous with the notebook scandal.
  • our wearings??? clothes maybe... Clothing
  • Hmm let me think... Men with similar dresses. If you wear them at the time and if you're Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie" you may be men with similar dresses.:) actually "men who have similar dresses" but If you're carying the dresses but not wearing yet you should be men with same clothes. There was a movie called Men in black. If you say men in black clothes and have "-es" at the and that means you have more than one men who all wear black. You don't need to say similiar. By the way what on earth am I blathering on??

I now feel a bit uncomfortable, I'v been making fun of the mistakes nearly half an hour but What if I had mistakes as well:DD

  1. Begüm,
    This is hysterical, thank you! You've not only answered the questions correctly, but you've done it with humour and style!!

    One correction: The show was called/was named "Dotto".

    Hey, it's a good thing to laugh at our mistakes, that way they don't take control of us... :D
