I arrived in New York two weeks ago. There aren’t many Chinese students here, so I have to use English most of the time. Now I am writing my diary in English because my English teacher Rachel says it is a good way to practice English.

My English is hopeless! I was on the bus this morning and a man spoke to me, but I hardly understood him. I was so embarrassed (尴尬的). Why is my English so poor? I want to make lots of American friends, but it’s hard for me to communicate with others.

I went to a school party last Friday. I talked with a Japanese boy named Kenji and an Italian girl named Carla. We talked about our countries ‘customs and our experiences in America.

Misadventure in English
【小题1】Who posted the story about buying shoes?
【小题2】What happened to Maggie?
【小题3】What does Julien think of his penfriend’s grandfather?
Last week, our forum ( 论 坛 ) asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. Here are some of our favourite posts.
 Sophie | When I first visited New York, I went to a shopping centre. I asked a lady where the shoes were. She said they were on the first floor. I went upstairs. But I couldn’t find any. I thought she gave me the wrong information. Then, I realized that the first floor was the ground floor. 128 |
 Yancy | I went to a summer school in Manchester. One day, the head master told us that our English teacher Maggie couldn’t teach that day because she had a frog in her throat. Why did she eat a frog? Then I learned that it means someone’s throat is dry or blocked. How funny! 135 |
 Julien | My British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was “wicked (邪恶的)”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very strange. Why did my friend use a bad word about such a nice man? Guess what? When speaking informally, “wicked” means “very nice”. 70 |
 Zheng Xu | I was part of a student exchange programme between a school in England and one in China. I knew I had done a good job writing my first English paper. But my teacher gave me “Not bad!” Not bad? There weren’t any mistakes! Actually, British people use “not bad” when things are pretty good! I got a good comment! 85 |

“How are you?”is a nice question.It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?”is also a very unusual question.It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer.The person who asks“How are you?”hopes to hear the answer“Fine”,even if the person’s friend isn’t fine.The reason is that “How are you?”isn’t really a question and “Fine”isn’t really an answer.They are simply other ways of saying“Hello”or “Hi”.
Sometimes,people also don’t say exactly what they mean.For example,when someone Asks “Do you agree?”,the other person might think,“No, I disagree.I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly,so the other person might say“I’m not sure.”It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.”Often,the person who wants to hang up gives and excuse:“Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.”The excuses might be real,or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more,but it isn’t polite to say that.
The excuse is more polite,and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,of finishing a talk,people don’t say exactly that they are thinking.It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it’s part of the game of language.
