Very good

very beautiful

very delicious

very funny

very tired

......

甚至有時會very very 好幾個疊在一起加強語氣

我們經常用這麼多的very而不自覺，老外聽起來，覺得很有趣：怎麼這麼誇張啊！在不知不覺中，誇張的英文就造一個誇張的印象。

以下是來自各國各行業的外籍顧問，寫下的他們認為中國人口語最容易犯的錯，過度誇張的語言very是排行榜第一名，老外公認這是中國人說英文時最明顯特色。

看看自己有沒有這些錯，有就打一個勾，看看你有幾個勾：

● Excessive use of the word 'very'. (很愛用very，讓人有誇張感覺)

● He/she, his/her confusions. (男女性別不分)

● Excessive use of 'superlative' words such as 'delicious' and 'beautiful'. (喜歡用delicious, beautiful這等”最高極”含意字眼)

● The tendency to use too many adjectives to add color to written work rather than varying verb and noun usage which tends to be more effective in English composition. (用太多虛的形容詞，用太少動詞)

● Closure of any and every speech or statement with the words 'That's all'. (講話結束了就用'That's all')

● Unnecessary objects - 'The children were playing A GAME'; 'He is reading A BOOK'; 'I was singing A SONG'. "Please repeat AGAIN." (贅字太多，read就是讀書了，不必再加book，repeat已經是重複，不必再again)

● The bizarre belief held by some students that American English is worthy of attention. (覺得英語一定要”美式”才安心)

● I went to the park to PLAY with my friends. (中英概念混雜，大人和朋友玩不用play)

● I was absent because I sent my friend to the hospital, instead of,...took my friend to the hospital. (中英概念混雜，送人去醫院不用send)

● We have done it last week. -We did it last lesson, or, We have done it. (沒有延續性的行為，不必用完成式)
