We have learned that Chinese is derived from picture writing, known as pictographs which have no relation to the sound of a word. Gradually they gave way to non
pictorial characters, in addition to standing for tangible objects, also represented abstract concepts. Later they formed an important principle for new
coined characters, among of which, also the most important, is called xíng shēng zì. They consist of two parts: a “signific”, which indicates that it has something to do with a meaning, and a "phonetic", which indicates the sound.

Errors in the Use of Verbs 动词的误用
Improper use of intransitive verbs 不带宾语的动词使用不当
1.旅行 travel
Example
Wrong：我想明年再旅行中国。
Right：我想明年再来中国旅行。
“旅行”,meaning to go to a distant place for sight-seeing, is incapable of taking objects. Two proper substitutes for “旅行中国”are “来中国旅行”which are both verbal constructions in series.

Get a Haircut
外国人住宿的宾馆、饭店大都有理发店，客人可以预约或直接去那里理发。此外 , 客人也可以到街上的理发店理发，这些理发店挡次不同，因此收费标准也不同。
Barbershops have been opened in most guesthouses and big hotels. Guests may make an appointment to see a barber or go to the barber's to have a hair cut directly. On the other hand, one can have a hair cut by choosing from the barbershops along the streets. They are of variable quality and skills, so prices differ too.
理发师：先生，您要理发吗？
barber: Do you want your hair cut, sir?
