Unit 2 Exploring English

¡¡¡¡Why are peoplelikelyto have troublelearning English£¿Actually£¬ I didn’trecognisethe problem until my son’s question reminded me£º Why was there no ham in a hamburger£¿ Then I was aware of the unique craziness of English. Many words seem logical£¬ while many others we come across can be rather confusing with nobase. For example£¬ we sculpt a sculpture but we take a photo. We can get seasick at sea£¬ but we don’t get homesick at home. These types of examplesreflect the creativity of the human race. That’s why when stars are out£¬ they are visible£¬ but when lights are out£¬ they are invisible. In addition£¬ American English and British English are different in several ways. For example£¬ Americans put gas in cars and drive along the highway£» however£¬ the British use petrol and drive along the motorway. Despite the difference£¬ they can understand each other from the context. If you intendto learn English£¬ don’t let negative feelings dominate when you make errors.
