    Do the following two expressions mean the same? 1. The red apple is three times larger than the green one; 2. The red apple is three times as large as the green one. Thank you very much.

    I checked the Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese dictionary. It shows ‘brake’ can both be a noun and a verb. It also lists examples like air brake and disc brake. Besides, I checked COCA(Corpus of Contemporary American English). The matching strings shows brakes and brake are both acceptable.

    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.

         I'm so glad to see all the comments, and thank you all. Even though I'm a professional high school English teacher, it's hard for me to figure out some English expressions.

        English language is rich in its words and phrases, just like Chinese. Moreover, with the technology developing, more related concepts appears. It's impossible to keep everybody informed. So it is understandable that we teachers might sometimes be "ignorant". Actually, the American teacher is pretty good at teaching. Our students like her. She is very open-minded and responsible. Last month, she gave a public course in my school. We learnt a lot from her way of teaching.

        Phil, I have read your article. Thank you for your sharing!

    Perhaps more specific questions will be better for others to talk about their cultures.

    Thanks a lot!  Wikipedia is really powerful.  At least I know now Virtual Reality has its origin in French.

    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.)
