readiness to do something
The feeling of being ready to do something or say yes, without anyone making you do it.
用法模式：
[someone]'s willingness to [do something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "willingness" with "will" or "wish." "Will" can mean future or personal strength, and "wish" is about wanting something that is not real. "Willingness" is specifically about being ready to do something. Learners also sometimes say *"willingness for do"* or *"willingness for helping"*; the correct pattern is usually "willingness to do [something]" or "willingness to help."
