When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language barriers(障碍).
How wrong I was! The misunderstandings began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Penny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married But aren’t you a bit young ”
“Who is talking about marriage ” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box ”
“Oh!” he said, “There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we met, Penny explained the misunderstandings to me.
“Don’t worry,” she said to me. “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”

In the Hollywood industry, most of the studios are using AI(人工智能) to make movies for various reasons such as getting the actors out of danger, replacing the actors in different scenes, forming appealing(有感染力的)atmosphere to enhance (增强) the views.

VFX is used to later change the internal studio backgrounds to a different place in the movie.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am LiHua, a college student. Knowing that you are recruiting volunteers to teach foreigners English, I am writing to apply for this position.
I'm convinced that I will be the right person for the position. To start with, not only do I have a good knowledge of Chinese, but I'm also fluent in English, which enables me to communicate with foreigners more easily. In addition, I'm quite familiar with some traditional Chinese arts like paper-cutting and calligraphy, thus giving me an opportunity to introduce Chinese culture to foreigners. For the above reasons, I think I'm qualified and suitable for the position.
I would appreciate it if you could give me the chance. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours, LiHua
