C. 中文學習者容易犯的錯誤

錯誤："Today my home has things, I need to ask leave one day."
「今天我的家有事情，我需要要求離開一天。」

問題解析：

• "my home has things" 是中文直譯，應該說 "I have something going on at home" 或 "there's a family situation"
• "ask leave" 不正確，應該是 "take a day off" 或 "request a personal day"
• 整體語法不自然，英文表達更重視主語和動作的邏輯關係

正確： "I have something going on at home today, so I need to take a personal day."
「我今天家裡有狀況，所以我需要請事假。」
