Learning the English Language

刚刚更新 澳际教育 编辑： 浏览次数：1694 移动端
　　English is one of the easiest languages to learn, mostly because it doesn't make use of male/female for everything, like other languages do. But even as an 'easy language', it doesn't mean it's easy to master, or that it doesn't have some pretty weird features that have made their way into the language with time. 

　　Let's face it - English is a crazy language. 

　　There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

　　And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

　　 If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

　　 If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

　　How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

　　English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

　　 Here at AoJi, we help to make it all make sense so that mastering a new language is not ascrazy as you may think!
