寫完email，你會很仔細地檢查一遍再按send嗎？如果不會，請從今天開始養成這個好習慣；即使是很簡短的文句，都可能不經意出錯，以下就是常見的英文email錯誤例子：
####1. We are looking forward to hear from you. 我們期待聽到您的回音
【Debug】
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
這句話在email文末最常出現，look forward to是「期待」之意，後面須接V-ing或名詞。
####2. Thank you for all the good advices you have given me. 謝謝您給我的所有好忠告。
【Debug】
Thank you for all the good advice you have given me.
advice當「忠告、建議」時，是不可數名詞，複數不加s。
####3. Please notice that the price is included in installation. 請注意此價格包含了安裝費。
【Debug】
Please notice that installation is included in the price.
若按照原句，意思會變成「安裝費包含了價格」，與真正句意顛倒。
####4. With refer to our recent discussion, I would like to demonstrate this new model for you. 依據我們最近的討論，我想要為您示範這個新的機型。
【Debug】
With reference to our recent discussion, I would like to demonstrate this new model for you.
With是介係詞，後面須接名詞，所以refer須更正為reference。
####5. Do those foreign workers have the necessary experience to produce our products? 這些外國工人擁有生產我們產品所需的專業技能嗎？
【Debug】
Do those foreign workers have the necessary expertise to produce our products?
「專門技術」的英文是expertise；experience指的是「經驗」，兩者請勿混淆。
####6. Meeting was held on July 22 to discuss new procedures for invoicing customers. 7月22日舉辦了一場會議來討論為顧客開立發票的新程序。
【Debug】
A meeting was held on July 22 to discuss new procedures for invoicing customers.
Meeting是可數名詞，前面須加冠詞，有限定時加the，沒有限定時加a或an。
