When I was studying in Istanbul, I worked as an English teachers in a language school (so I mostly tutored adults). One of the exercises I had developed then was based on this book - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/665157.A_Concise_Chinese_English_Dictionary_for_Lovers. The book is actually written in "broken" English (the protagonist/narrator is learning English as the plot evolves), so students had to rewrite passages, correcting the many quirks and mistakes.
