English is becoming more and more popular in China.It can be used in every field,such as on some signs and restaurant menus.But there are some problems when people use it.Perhaps you've seen the English letters "WC" in your city.They show public toilets.But do you know it is far from native(地道的)English?In fact ,foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.
      Workers in our city are changing "WC"signs all over the city.The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus.Many other places in China are following our steps.
      "WC,or water closet,is old-fashioned English.It sounds dirty to me,""says Nancy,a young woman from the US.The old sign will become"Gents/Men"and"Ladies/Women"."I see much poor English in everyday life,and not only on signs." she says."I know what they mean.But they are Chinglish,not real English.For example,when someone says to me' My hometown is Guizhou Province'.I know he or she should say ' My hometown is in Guizhou Province '.Hometown is a smaller place in a province."The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include" Not Entry",which should be " No Entry", "Direction of Airport"should be changed to"To the Airport ".And it is" Room Rate",not"Room Price".And remember to"Keep off the grass",rather than"Care of the green".

  • 2.Tea Drinking
    All around the world,people drink tea.But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone.In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
       In China,for example,tea is always served when people get together.The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses.They prefer their tea plain,with nothing else in it.
       Tea is also important in Japan.The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony(儀式).It is very old and full of meaning.Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony.There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.
       Another tea-drinking country is England.In England,the late afternoon is "teatime".Almost everyone has a cup of tea then.The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar.They also eat cakes,cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.
       In the United States,people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea.Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots.In summer,many Americans drink cold tea-"ice tea".Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans,like soda.
