Common mistakes
I need to network my friends to find a job.I need to network with my friends to find a job.
动词 'network' 表示与人建立联系时，是不及物动词，需要接介词 'with'；直接接宾语是受中文‘网络朋友’的影响。
I want to make a network in the industry.I want to network in the industry.
此处应使用动词 'network' 表示建立关系网，而不是名词短语 'make a network'；'make a network' 通常指搭建物理网络。
