TRANSCRIPT

Hello. My name is Emma, and in today’s video, I am going to teach you about some mistakes a lot of students make. So, I’ve been teaching English for about five years now, and the mistakes I’m going to teach you today, I’ve seen students make many times in both their speaking, as well as their writing. Okay? So these mistakes are mistakes students make when they’re talking about people. So, I’m going to give you some examples of some of these mistakes.

The first one I want to show you: /”Some Canadian people hate winter./” It’s true, I’m one of those people; I hate winter. So, /”Some Canadian people hate winter./” There’s a mistake, here. I want you to take a moment to look, and think: What could the mistake be? /”Some Canadian people hate winter./” I’ll give you a hint: The mistake is somewhere here. If you thought /”people/” is the mistake, you’re correct. /”Canadian people/
