    Let's tell you about the house, so that you don't rent the wrong house when you rent it. The kind of small western-style building where foreigners live is generally called a house, and if it is quite luxurious, it is called a mansion. Like our Chinese unit, it is called condo, which is the abbreviation of condominium.

    And there is only one large square grid, which is not divided into kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, which is called studio. Most of the time the garden is used exclusively for people to rent is called a cottage. It doesn't matter if you rent a house or a condo, you say it's your apartment, and of course, if you rent a cottage, say it's your cottage.

    If your accommodation is rented and you are absent for two months and intend to sublet your house to one person for two months, then say you sublet your accommodation to another person. Also, if you only plan to rent one bedroom in a house and share the bathroom and kitchen with someone else, please indicate that you are renting a bedroom.

    decent"I had a colleague from the company where I was interning before I always got off work late, and I couldn't work tiring all the time. One day she finally left early, and the boss was very relieved"you finally get off at a decent hour!"It means that Emma, you finally don't have to work overtime.

    Although decent means modest in the dictionary, it can actually describe a lot of scenes, which can be translated here more precisely"Decent"and so on.

    When I first arrived at Yale, when I took the elevator, I asked others what floor they were on, and the Chinese students asked which floor, but foreigners always said what number. They were looking at that number on the elevator floor. This is the difference between Chinese and foreign thinking.

    By the way, I complained about some Yale buildings, and the elevators inside are still very old, and they have to pull the doors. I was really scared when I first saw it) (controversial: many friends say that they often hear which floor.)

    Because the first time I heard what number, I was so surprised by the linear thinking of American students, I was particularly impressed).

    word is a word that many people love to use. The general meaning means affirmation, the meaning of agreement. It's a bit like "中!" in Chinese.

    If you agree to the other person's proposal, you can also say word directly!

    Main article: Old English.

    The earliest form of English is known as Old English or Anglo-Saxon Whispers (550-1066 AD). Chi Zhi Bei Old English was developed from a group of North Sea Germanic dialects that were originally spoken by Germanic tribes known as antelope, Saxon, and jute in Frisia, Lower Saxony, Jutland, and the southern coast of Sweden.

    From the 5th century CE, the Anglo-Saxons settled in England with a Roman economy and administrative collapse. By the 7th century, the Germanic languages of the Anglo-Saxons had become dominant in England, replacing the languages of Roman Britain (43-409 CE): Gubriton, a Celtic and Latin, was brought to England for Roman occupation.

    Compared with the English language environment in China, I found that the English I learned in China is basically similar to English Mandarin when I really arrived in English-speaking countries.

    In major English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, in addition to the slang accidents of many words, proverbs, slang, idioms, and language habits of children of different ages are different in different regions.

    For example"not me"This statement, which seems to be absolutely inconsistent with English grammar, is actually a kind of children's English, which means "i am not."‍
