Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes say *not realistic* when a single adjective is more natural, e.g. saying 'The plan is not realistic' is correct, but in many cases 'The plan is unrealistic' sounds smoother and more native-like. Learners may also confuse 'unreal' (meaning very good or amazing in informal speech) with 'unrealistic', which usually has a negative or critical meaning.
