Common mistakes

divestment 是名词，意为“剥夺、夺取”；动词原形是 divest。在“plan to”之后要用动词原形，不能使用名词形式，这是词性混淆错误。
The government encouraged divestment in education.The government encouraged investment in education.
divestment 与 investment 拼写相近但意思相反：divestment 是“撤资/剥夺”，investment 是“投资”。句中表达的是对教育的投入，应该用 investment，用 divestment 会表达相反的意思。
