The author will conduct an empirical research based on the theory of first language transfer and error analysis. After a careful study of 90 compositions, the author analyzes errors caused by first language transfer. Typical examples will be carefully selected and analyzed to prove that first language transfer has an impact on verbal lexical collocation. Finally, the author tries to give some proposals based on a combination of her English learning experience and research.
