I'd like to post some mistakes I found out during the talk, perhaps they're helpful for those who were absent: The animals will be test ........ ---> will be tested (passive voice) Experiment /ik-'spe-ri-meant/ # experience /ik-'spia-ri-eant! Try to avoid them the next time!

Use of auxiliary verb. It is very easy to miss this since the English talk is more relaxed now than it used to be. Common mistakes: inversion of the verb and subject in a question.

* There're 2 words we should be careful using: Advice --> -CE ends with /s/ sound Advise --> -SE ends with /z/ sound * Also, to adj such as: competitive, independent, and so on, we often miss "to be" when speaking. Ex: I can't independent --> I can't be independent. * The phrase "increase health" seems not to be popularly used. I suggest another phrase like, "improve health".
