C. 中文學習者容易犯的錯誤

1. 錯誤 ❌: "Summer holiday quick come, cannot buy airplane paper to Japan."
   正確 ✓: "Summer vacation is approaching, and I can't buy tickets to Japan."
   解釋：英文中機票是「ticket」不是「airplane paper」；「快到了」應該用「approaching」或「coming soon」而不是「quick come」。

2. 錯誤 ❌: "Summer holiday almost here, all Japan ticket buy not get."
   正確 ✓: "Summer break is almost here, and all tickets to Japan are sold out."
   解釋：英文句子需要正確的語法結構和時態，「買不到」應該表達為「are sold out」或「can't get」，而不是「buy not get」。

3. 錯誤 ❌: "Hot vacation near, no can find Japan flight."
   正確 ✓: "With summer vacation near, I can't find any flights to Japan."
   解釋：「暑假」是「summer vacation/break」不是「hot vacation」；完整的句子需要主語和正確的語法結構。
