Brakes or Brake?
There is a sentence that goes, ‘He put on his brakes to avoid hitting a dog.’ Why ‘brakes’? Actually, he needs only put on ‘a’ brake to avoid hitting the dog. Thank you for answering.

Is Virtual Reality a Chinese term or an English term?
Last week, an American teacher, who is working as a volunteer in my school, told me Virtual Reality was Chinglish because she had never come across such a word in English.
I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with some English textbooks in China. Or it might be the reason that there is no such a term in American English, but in British English there might be one. (p.s.: the textbook we are using now is co-edited by some Chinese and English.)
