Re:Misadventures in English
People say that（=It is said that ） the British always play safe with what they
eat（what引导的宾语从句，作介词with的宾语。）. Not true!（It's not true!）I went
to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie. One
day,a different teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldn't teach that
day COZ she had a frog in her throat （that引导的宾语从句；"COZ...throat"为
COZ（=because）引导的原因状语从句。）.Poor Maggie—but why did she try to
eat such a big frog

When I first visited New York,I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy
some winter boots.At the information desk at the entrance , I asked a lady
where the shoe section . .was（where引导的宾语从句）.She said that it was on
the first floor .So I went up to the first floor,but couldn't find any shoes. I
decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit, I saw that shoes were
actually sold downstairs on the ground floor,not the first floor. Why did she
give me the wrong information X-（

I've got an English penfriend,who I finally got to meet in London this summer

人们说英国人吃东西总是很谨慎。才不是呢!我在曼彻斯特参加过一个暑期培训班，
我的英语老师叫玛吉。有一天，另外一个老师来给我们代课。他告诉我们玛吉老师
那天没法来上课，因为她的喉咙里卡了一只青蛙。可怜的玛吉老师——可是她为什
么要试图吃那么大的青蛙呢

第一次去纽约的时候，我去市中心的一家购物中心买冬靴。我在入口处问服务台的
女士卖鞋的区域在哪里。她告诉我在二楼。于是我上到二楼，但是并没有找到鞋。
所以，我决定离开。就在我找出口的时候，我发现鞋区实际上是在一楼，不在二楼。
她为什么告诉我错误的信息呢
