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. She told me it was on the first floor. But I couldn’t find any shoes there. Finally, I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor, not the first floor.

话题句式
Last summer, I stayed with a British family. The family are so friendly to me that I feel at home. One day, the son of the British family said to me with excitement, “We’ll have toad-in-the-hole for dinner!” I was really surprised when I heard it. I wasn’t sure whether we would eat a toad in the hole. To my astonishment, when the food was served, I found no toad at all. It turned out that toad-in-the-hole was a delicious food. I really
appreciate this experience because it helps
me realize that some of the English we learn
that in the classroom is rather different from
the English in the outside world!
