Xiao Bulin English Notebook 6: The birth of hydropower English notebook is because I have just arrived in the United States, you can learn a lot of fresh and interesting words or dialogues every day. I will summarize these dialogue into today's size. These most It is not seen in the book. Even if there is some English textbook that emphasizes "speaking", its content is not too hard. In fact, the English conversation we have to learn is very simple, that is, some daily life will be used. The shorter, the shorter, and it is necessary to express its meaning correctly. So I repeatedly emphasized the content of notebooks, it is very cultivated and very practical. The purpose is to help some really want to learn life. People.
Sometimes I listen to the old beauty in English and we are relaxed as we speak Chinese. They use the single words very simple, but you are not thinking, what do you say? What do you say? I think those TOEFLs? I think those TOEFL People who have more than six hundred points are not necessarily!
The Power IS OFF.
The power is gone.
There will be a power Outage Tomorrow.
power failure
These three sentences are power outage, but the first two sentences are more oral sayings, for example, see the lights suddenly extinguished, the first reaction of old beauty is OH! The power is gone, or the power is off. And the third The sentence is used in comparative formal occasions, such as announcement that it is necessary to stop power tomorrow, they will use Power Outage, such as the will be a power outage from 1-5 pm tomorrow. Generally, we think that "electric" will think of Electricity this Word, but in fact, Power is the right usage. For example, I said, please, please turn the power. Instead of Turn Off the electricity. 2. The power is back on. Electricity is back. I know how to stop the power, how do you say it? It's very simple, it is the power is back. Or Tote Why do you say BACK ON? Because this is the original opening After that, I turned it off, I turned it on. (Back ON said that I returned to the state), I am going to bake me with old beauty today, I see everyone to eat, just put the stove But later, someone said that he didn't eat full, so my friend said, OK, I will turn it is on. 3. Please turn the power. Please turn off the power supply. Turn on Turn OFF is the most common Let's open the power supply and put the words on the power. For example, you can say the Please Turn Off The Power Before Leave. (Please turn off before leaving) If you say not to turn off, let it have been driving What do you say? You can say Just Leave The Power On When You Leave. 4. Throw the power on. That is the same as Turn on the power, but throw the power on is a more oral saying. For example, you When I went to the room to see the computer didn't open, you can tell others, throw the power on. Yes: Open the computer! Announcement is to say open TV, "Open the TV." But I want to be in In the case, Oldest or beautiful can be heard. 5. The power is running low. It's going to be out of electricity. The electricity is called Running Low. For example, you use the shaving knife to see it, you know that it is no longer You can say the power is running low. If the electricity is completely used, use Running Out of Power. For example I think it's running out of power. Or the bathry is dead. 6 Is this TAP Water? NO, IT'S BOTTLED Water. Is this a tap water? No, this is a bottle. It is known as a drink in the US tap water, so someone takes a cup to pick up the water directly. But the average person still thinks that the water is not enough. Clean, so they will buy a bottle with a filter to increase their confidence. Since the water is called Tap Water or called Running Water. And the water in the bottle is called Bottled Water. In addition, I think there is a word is also worth it. One study is that the water dispenser is called Fountain Machine. It is also common in the United States. The only shortcoming is that the old beauty does not drink hot water, so Fountain Machine has certainly no hot water .7. I am Running the bath water.
I am filling the tub.
I am putting a bath water.
The saying of this sentence is much different from the Chinese, remember to just arrived in the United States, I have to say that I am putting a bath water, the result is a four unlike, "I put water in the tub". After the incident, the hand-held foot half-heart Talents can understand what I am talking about. In fact, it is very simple. 8. I need to take some water. I need to drink some water. How do I say? I will feel intuitive? I Need to Drink Some Water. However, if I listen to the state of the old beauty, they often use I want to take some water. I have been tears. Some people are allergic, come to the United States. Be careful! We will have pollen every year. Many people will start allergies. The common symptoms are tears, or a slight fever. It is quite terrible. This year's pollen season, a friend of my friend is unfortunately pollen Allergic, he told me, My Eyes Are Watering and I Just CouldN't Sleep. 10. How much do you pay the utilities every Month? How much do you pay for each month? Usually, Utilities Bill is included Water, electricity, telephone and other expenses must be overwritten, usually don't forget to rent a house, are Utilities Included? Because some housing already include Utilities, it is more than half of the package But the outside house may not be packaged, so a month, Utilities is usually around $ 100. Life tips
The pronunciation of English is very important, sometimes lost in a thousand miles. Once someone came to knocking, because the door did not lock, I said a come in. The result waited for about ten seconds, knocking the door The sound rang again, I thought he didn't hear it before, so I raised the voice loudly, come in. I didn't expect this old brother. He still didn't come in, and waited for ten seconds. He knocked once again, this I don't worry, I went to open the door, the result of the door, I didn't say goodness, why don't you just com in? Results he Said, "You are coming .." So I I realized that I was too kind of pronunciation, and I said Come in comparable that I was mistaken. I was embarrassed.
