2010: My English Year!
已经有英语基本程度的成人，英文最快进步方法是「debug」--除错式学习，把脑子里错误的英文程式：错误的文法、错误的style、错误的发音……彻底移除！你以前英文说错了，不会有人告诉你：老外同学说：「听得懂就好！」；外国友人觉得：「说了令人尴尬！」；英文比你好的同事认为：「不是我的责任。」你可能带着这些bug一辈子！
1. You were considerable to take care of the business while I was off. (我请假时你代理我的业务，真的是很周到)
2. I'm losing my mind. (我记忆越来越差了)
3. I need you to help me up. (我需要你帮忙)
4. How do you feel about me? (你觉得我表现如何?)
5. Look, there is a bird on the tree. (你看，树上有只鸟)
6. Please do the following steps. (请按以下步骤进行。)
7. I will need an hour to wrap it up. (还要一小时才能完成。)
8.This medicine makes miracles. (那药有神效)
9.The ordered goods have not arrived. (我们订的东西还没到。)
Debugged:
1. It was considerate of you to take care of the business while I was off.
considerable的意思是数量很多、或块头很大（great in amount or size），而considerate才是体贴的、考虑周详的，可以用来形容人或行为。像a considerate person, act, attitude。例如She's considerate towards her employees. 她很体谅员工。
2. My memory is getting worse.
"Lose one's mind" 并不是指记忆变差，是「疯了、失去理智」的意思。
3. I need you to help me out.
"Help someone up"是人跌倒时，你扶他一把，"help out"才是帮忙。
4. How do you think of my performance?
"feel"会让人误解，以为是男女之间喜不喜欢对方的那种感觉，如果你要问一个人对某事情的「感觉」，应该用"think of" 。
5. Look, there is a bird in the tree.
英语中，只有「长」在树上的东西才用on，例如：There are lots of apples on the tree；其余均用介词 in，例如：The primitive built houses in the tree（原始人在树上建房子）。
6. Please go through the following steps.
我们并不会「做」以下步骤，而是循以下步骤完成。搭配动词用go through
7. It will take me an hour to wrap it up.
是做这件事得花一小时，而非我需要一小时，用虚主词it当主词。
8.This medicine works miracles
Work miracles是固定搭配，意思是创造奇迹，也可以用work a cure，相对地，如果是制造灾难，就用work mischief.
9.The goods ordered have not arrived.
这句话原来是The goods (which were) ordered have not arrived yet. 把子句的which were省略，所以成了The goods ordered have not arrived.
