Unlike some other European languages, English is a little tricky (棘手的) when it comes to writing. How a word 【小题1】 (pronounce ) and how it is actually spelt can be very different 【小题2】(thing).

Take two simple verbs like "have" and "save", Shouldn't they be pronounced the same? Why do "sir", "her" and "fur" all rhyme, but "fork" and "work" don't?

Imagine, then, a situation 【小题3】 two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have【小题4】

(complete) different meanings. Welcome to the world of homonyms (同形/同音异义词) . Take the word "fair" for example — it can be a kind of festival or an adjective to describe the colour of your hair.

So how do you know which 【小题5】 ( mean) someone is referring to? — You don't, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to "give 【小题6】 (he) a hand", they don't want you to remove what is 【小题7】 the end of your arm.

Sometimes even the context doesn't help much — the result can be 【小题8】 (amuse). These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:

I used to be a banker, 【小题9】 I lost interest.

A small boy swallowed some coins and had to be sent to hospital. When his grandmother phoned 【小题10】 (ask) how he was, the nurse said, "No change yet. "

"Waiter, will the bread be long?" "No, sir. It's round."
