I'd like to share some ridiculous mistakes about english-learning I've made. I used to have a good deal of problems of learning english,and I've made a lot of jokes,some of them were so akward,I'd like to share you provided that you won't laugh at me. First joke is about my last name,you know my chinese family name is 贺which chinese character is pronounced as "ho",I used to introduce myself with "he",but someone kidded me that why I called "he" but not "she",so I searched the translation of 贺 on "baidu"which is a famous but dodgy SE in china,I was told that 贺 is translated as "ho",their phonetics are similar.And the key is ,I really use this name,I introduced myself as Annie Ho for one month.One day,I was reading an article,and I saw a review below article,It said that ho was a bad words to describe a bimbo.You can image my expression when I read it,I wanted a hole to hide myself! Second one is that one of my english teacher is canadian,and he"s major is literature,one day I asked him a poem I didn't understand,he replied me:"who is the author of this poem"I said :"it was writtend by a famous indian poet called TIGER!!!" At that time ,my teacher looked at me with confused eyes,I wondered that why he didn't know Tiger,tiger is so famous.Actually it is TAGORE!!! I call it tiger because of chinese phonetics,"tai ge er",just similar with "tiger".hahaha~ Anyway,I hope I can reduce such embarrassing situation,and I really should be humble as Confucious said:humble makes people progress~ welcome to review if you feel my experiences are interesting~
