Another problem could be that a foreign language taught in schools can s

25、ound quite different to what native speakers actually use. There are a few English words and expressions that Id never heard until I came to China. The most common one in my experience is How are you? Im fine, thank you, and you? I appreciate that although this greeting is much too formal for everyd

Its healthy for English to evolve (进化) and change and Im happy to add these new words to my vocabulary.1. Where does the writer come from?_2. What does the writer think of the greeting How are you? Im fine, thank you, and you?_
