As an English teacher, one of the most common problems I’ve found with my students is their lack of confidence with speaking, and difficulty in understanding native speakers. Another problem could be that a foreign language taught in schools can sound quite different to what native speakers actually use.
There are a few English words and expressions that I’d never heard until I came to China. The most common one in my experience is “How are you? I’m fine, thank you, and you?”
I appreciate that although this greeting is much too formal for everyday use, it’s easy to learn and help build confidence. However, it can be a hard habit to break. I’ve seen many parents correct their kids if they don’t use that exact phrase, as if simply replying “I’m fine” would somehow be rude. In fact I’m banning my students from saying that in the classroom, insisting a simple “I’m fine, thanks” is good enough.
“Seldom” is another one that I find interesting. The first time a student told me “I seldom watch TV” , my initial reaction was a stupefied look, followed by “Huh?” I then realized the student used “seldom” when it’s more common for us to use “rarely” .
I was just as confused when I first heard a toilet referred to as a WC(water closet), another English term I’d never heard of back in Australia. Of course, my students know the other names for it like bathroom, toilet, washroom etc. , so to prefer that name is an interesting choice.
I don’t mind that my students have substituted familiar English words with their own, far from it. It reminds me how creative they can be with not only their language, but with mine as well. It’s healthy for English to evolve(进化)and change and I’m happy to add these new words to my vocabulary.
One important lesson I’ve learnt is that textbooks can only help you so much. For further improvement you’d better practice with native speakers.
21. The problem with the reply “I’m fine, thank you, and you?” is that it is　　　.
A. too long to remember B. not popular with native speakers
C. sometimes misunderstood D. considered impolite by native speakers
22. The writer mentioned parents correcting their kids to show that in China　　　.
A. speaking English at home has become a habit B. the exact reply has been trained into a habit
C. some parents are not qualified to teach English D. children don’t always obey their teachers
23. The underlined word “stupefied” in Para. 4 is closest in meaning to　　　.
A. stupid B. excited C. suspected D. surprised
24. It’s possible for us to hear an Australian say “We　　　use the term‘　　　’for a toilet. ”
A. seldom; bathroom B. rarely; washroom C. seldom; WC D. rarely; WC
25. What is the writer’s attitude towards his students using Chinese-English?
A. He’s tolerant. B. He’s angry. C. He feels uncomfortable. D. He pays no attention.

We can do a lot in our daily life to achieve the goal of low-carbon life. First, we’d better turn off lights if possibly and spend less time watch TV or surfing the Internet. Save water also matters a lot. Beside, we should sort out the rubbish, hoping that we might recycle some of them, which will surely benefit from us a great deal. In addition, we suggest using handkerchief instead of tissues so that we can prevent more trees from cut down. More importantly, when we go out, walking, riding bikes or taking buses should be our first choice, which contribute to a clean world.
