“you know, what my mom told me was that like, literally, action is the best teacher, like experience is the best teacher, and instead of actually experiencing things for ourselves, we're living vicariously through these content creators or through these people who are giving advice based on of their experience, which is valid, which is like sometimes you have to take the advice but at the same time, you can't just sit and take the advice, like you have to go out and do [ __ ].”

正式寫作注意：在正式書寫中（如報告、論文），應避免上述口語用法。請使用更精確、結構完整的句子來描述經歷，例如使用「undergo」、「encounter」等同義詞，或直接具體說明事件，而非依賴語氣詞或停頓填充。

×I experienced a lot of difficulties when I was in university.

When 'experience' is used as a verb meaning 'to undergo or feel something', it should be followed by the actual event or feeling. The preposition 'in' is often incorrectly used with institutions when referring to being a student; 'at' is more natural for this context in English.
×He has many experiences in teaching.
✓He has a lot of experience in teaching.
'Experience' as an uncountable noun refers to the skill or knowledge gained over time. Using 'many' with the uncountable form is incorrect. Use 'a lot of', 'much', or 'extensive' instead. 'Experiences' (countable) refers to specific events or occurrences.
×I want to experience.
✓I want to experience something new.
The verb 'experience' is transitive and requires a direct object. It cannot stand alone without specifying what is being experienced.
×Have you ever experienced of living abroad?
✓Have you ever experienced living abroad?
The verb 'experience' is followed directly by its object (a noun, gerund, or noun clause). The preposition 'of' is unnecessary and incorrect in this structure.
×A great joy was experienced by me.
✓I experienced great joy.
While grammatically possible, the passive voice with 'experience' is often unnatural and wordy. The active voice is more direct and common when the person having the experience is the focus.
×We will experience with a new method next week.
✓We will experiment with a new method next week.
'Experience' means to undergo or feel an event/situation. 'Experiment' means to try something new to see what happens. They are different verbs and should not be confused.
