（小編悄悄話）這幾句英文都很簡單，但如果你說時，是先想到中文，就會講出下面這樣”Chinese Style?的句子。文法不一定錯，但很不自然。想一想，怎麼說才道地呢？想完再往下看答案！如果您有任何疑問，有說不出來的句子，或者講了不知對不對的說法，歡迎寫email到webmaster@core-corner.com讓我們為您解答！

1.     The speed of the car is fast. (車速快了)

4.     He looked at her and felt surprised. 他看到她很驚訝。

5.     I have read your novels but I didn't think you could be so young.

9.     I got a lot of knowledge from my previous jobs.

Debugged--正確說法應該是這樣：

1.     The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”

2.     Will you be going back home for the holidays? Sure. / Certainly.

英美人士使用of course的頻率要並不高，只在回答一些眾所周知的問題時才說of course，答案如是肯定的，用sure或certainly較好。of course not也具挑釁的意味。正常情況下語氣溫和的說法是certainly not.

3.     My right foot hurts(aches).

4.     He looked at her in surprise.

5.     After having read your novel, I expected you would be older.

6.     Her red face told me what she was thinking.

7.     Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.

8.     Leave her alone.

9.     I learned a lot from the previous job.

10.   I am having a few problems / lots of problems.
