cessation of [something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "cessation" with the verb "cease" and try to use it as a verb (e.g., *"They cessation the war"*). "Cessation" is a noun and should be used with "of" plus another noun (e.g., "cessation of the war"). It is also sometimes confused in writing with "secession" (when a region leaves a country) and "recession" (a period of economic decline).
