今日招職提出幾個香港成日犯的港式英文，入嚟大家參詳吓！
Our shops should be on sale.
Our price is cheap.
The problem was improved.
We received a complaining letter yesterday.
Because of this reason, I would like to propose a change in our pricing scheme.
內文指出以上五句都係錯誤的英文，也是港人常出現的問題句子！
不如大家留吓言，表達吓你哋會點改正以上句子吖∼∼
我冇Model Answer，我只想大家討論個答案應該係點∼∼
大田英明，身為版主，你不如身先士卒，講吓你會點改正以上句子吖∼∼

Our shops should be on sale. - 呢題我估on sale係指貨品，如果佢咁寫，可以被解作我們啲店舖平價發售，講梗成間舖出售∼∼即係幾千萬一間咁賣！
Our price is cheap. - Price係low，唔係cheap
The problem was improved. - 我估係The problem improved.，唔洗被動式∼
We received a complaining letter yesterday. - 好明顯唔係complaining，complain letter仲算好少少∼∼，最正宗應該係letter of complaint。鬼佬唔會用complaint letter，因為習慣問題∼∼你講complaint letter，老外會明白，但佢哋唔會咁講∼∼
Because of this reason, I would like to propose a change in our prici - 呢個應該係個Conjunction用法太中文化∼∼應該用在兩句Clause中間∼∼句子一開始用Conjunction，盡管老外明白你講乜，但係屬於poor english∼∼
