Drinks

During Christmas, Tommy and his parents visited London. One afternoon, they dined at a pizza restaurant. His parents ordered a kid's menu, which included a salad, a main meal and a drink, for Tommy. Tommy read the drink menu (below), but had no idea what to choose because he had never seen the words "squash", "spring water" and "fizzy drinks" before. In the end, he chose orange juice.

The United States Dollar

As you may know, the currency most used in the world is the United States Dollar ("USD" or "US$" in short). It is also called the "US Dollar" or "American Dollar". Like Hong Kong Dollar, the US Dollar is divided into 100 cents. 

In everyday English, you may hear American people use the word "bucks" as in, "Can I borrow 30 bucks from you?" What does "bucks" refer to? American people use this word to refer to "dollars" in a very informal way. 

Swimming

 Swimming is great fun for children and it provides a lot of mental and physical benefits. Children love to swim at the swimming pool or the beach. Where do you usually swim? In Britain, an indoor public swimming pool or a building that contains such a pool can be called a “swimming bath”. When you were very small, your parents might have taken you to a paddling pool (“wading pool” in American English) which is a shallow pool for children to play in.
