My friend sent me two pictures yesterday...
(background supplement: this is the content of my friend’s daughter online class, which the teacher sent to the group. My friend’s daughter is currently in the fifth grade of elementary school (the next semester), and the English textbook is taught by people PEP version of the textbook.) This summary of
looks quite insightful at first glance, but it feels wrong when you look at it... Since
September is the most special, then let's get to know it.
September [sepˈtembə(r)] English
[sɛpˈtɛmbɚ] US
the 9th month of the year September (noun)
Q&A: Does the abbreviation of
September have to be the first four letters? The answer to
is: not necessarily. There are two abbreviations for
September: Sep. and Sep..
Sept. is the abbreviation in British English. If you look up British dictionaries such as Oxford, , Longman , etc., they are all Sept.
Sep. Commonly found in American English . So if you see this abbreviation in the future, don't think it is wrong, it's just a different idiom.
(PS, this does not mean that I think there is a problem with people teaching PEP textbooks, they just use British English as the standard.)
This is the different habits of British English and American English. In fact, there are many small differences between British English and American English in pronunciation (such as the phonetic symbols I listed above), spelling, and abbreviations. You can gradually accumulate these in the future and summarize the rules.
What&39;s More...
Expression habits of date (including month): British English: day/month/year; American English: month/day/year
For Example:
September 12, 2020 English expression
English American English 12th Sept., 2020Sep. 12, 2020
Have you noticed the difference? I guess someone may still have questions (^.^), if so, please leave me a message~~~
Tips: The English-English explanation of
vocabulary is selected from the Oxford dictionary. The English-English explanation is to use some simple words to compare new words Explain. Please get used to paying attention to English-English explanations. This is a good way to enhance oral expression.
Please be accustomed to paying attention to English-English explanations. This is a good way to enhance oral expression. If in the process of oral expression, you suddenly encounter a word that you can't remember, you can express it by way of explanation. This will not only avoid jams, but also learn a different expression.
Anyway, it is not necessary to use very advanced vocabulary at all times, and some "approachable" languages can also be used, depending on the context.
