I was 'tsking' my way through the 'teach english' attempt by the Taiwanese media.
"The shop is very special, just like you." (这家店很特别,就像你一样。)What has the word 'shop' has to do with complimenting a friend? If you want to compliment someone, just say 'You are very special to me.' It's not 'the', it's 'this'. And they are learning the careless sentences which I hd thrown aboutwhen I was in kindergarden.
"你心情不好吗?愿意找人聊聊吗?" Was what the signboard said (in Chinese). It was promptly translated to " Feel bad? Wanna talk to someone?"
Who are you, yankees?(No offence to yankees whatsoever, some of them are great writers.) You can't summarize the whole sentence to a succinct 'feel bad', rather, the sentence should be "Are you feeling down? Would you like to talk to someone?"
The video is here.

*snort* This is a good one. They misspelt 'hot chick' as 'hot chic'.
天渊之别的哦!
What's the difference between 'flirt' and 'pick someone up'? It's not even an atonym on the other; in fact, to 'pick someone up', you need to 'flit' with them! Tsk tsk, so inaccuarate.
There's really no contradiction between 'dandy' and 'party girl'. In fact, there is no relation whatsoever. A party girl could imply that a girl is popular or goes to plenty of parties, but it does not say whether she is nicely attired or attractive. 'dandy' is used to describe a person's attire. It usually means that the person dresses well. 'dunce' is related to intellectual level, and has nothing to do with superficial things. Unless what they're trying to say is 'dude', but according to the english dictionary, it is: 1. a man excessively concerned with his clothes, grooming, and manners. 2. Slang. fellow; chap. 3. a person reared in a large city. 4. Western U.S. an urban Easterner who vacations on a ranch. —Verb phrase 5. dude up, Informal. to dress in one's fanciest, best, or most stylish clothes; dress up: He got all duded up to go to the dance.
That goes to show how WONDEFUL those celebrities' English are.
"Dress in a glamorous style, Show is much more attractive." Note that there has been no attampt to correct the statement. Punctuation seems to be a fleeting glamour here, and phrases are 'Show is not attractive'. What they're trying to say that the dress is glamorous, and that this sentence shows that it is attractive.
Geez, they can't even write in proper sentences.
There's better ones. 'Dress in a glamorous style, Show is much more attractive than hunks who at the party because of his great dancing.'
WTH? What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that at a party, the ladies, a visage in their glamourous dresses are much more attractive than hunks who are great at dancing?
It doesn't even make sense. 'because' is severely abused as a conjunction. I am sure everyone knows that it is a conjuction for reason. Besides, hinks are supposed to be handsome guys. Unless the girls are butt-ugly in their glamourous dresses...
PEOPLE! IF YOU WANT A GOOD EXAMPLE OF BAD WRITING, WATCH THIS VIDEO! THIS IS THE EPITOME OF BAD ENGLISH!!!
Looks like the previous comments they made on national TV just bit them back in their derriere.
