The scourge of Greeklish. Common writing errors: "My typical weekend"

After correcting the writing assignment
"My typical weekend"
give out the handout
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1djrxJIrqpZMycUrIUT9_mq9cfYVkgo10pjQDB4mTpok
and ask the Ss to think of the English equivalent phrases / glosses.
They  are all  L1 interference type errors.

Not a bad idea to let them work in couples or groups.

In case there's an internet connection
