Hello E-Speller friends!

I am practicing my martial arts. I hope I can beat Jack Ma one day!

Notice I used "hope" instead of "wish". If you dont know what I am talking about,

please go back and watch my video about "hope" and "wish".

Hello E-Speller friends!

I am practicing my martial arts.

I hope I can beat Jack Ma one day!

Notice I used "hope" instead of "wish".

If you dont know what

I am talking about,

please go back and watch

my video about "hope" and "wish".

關於"hope"的"wish"請看這裡

I recently watched Jack Mas movie,

"攻守道",

because a friend recommended it to me.

Afterwards, we talked about it,

and my friend asked me,

"How do you think about this movie?"

And I said,

"Of course, with my brain."

She thought I was being a jerk,

but I was really just

answering her question.

The problem is that she translated

"你覺得怎麼樣?" literally,

because "怎麼" means "how".

But in English,

if you say,

"How do you do something?"

It means "what method did you use?"

Like "How do you learn English"

By watching my videos, of course!

So we need to change this question

"How do you think about...?"

to "what,"

because in English, you use

"what" to ask about opinions.

Like "What do you think?"

So lets change this.

What

This makes much more sense.

What do you think about...?

This is very simple but very important.

Use "how" when you want

to ask about the method of something.

How to do something.

And use "what"

when you want to ask

about an opinion.

Thank you for watching!

What do you think about this video?

Not "攻守道", this video.

Remember, sharing is caring!

Until next time!

Hmm...

how can I get more people

to share my videos?

Ah! Youre still here!

Question:

  • What do you think about "how do you think?"
  • How do you think about "what do you think?"
