　　Like most English children, I learned foreign language at school. When I made my first visit to the United States, I was sure that I could have a nice easy holiday without any language problem. But how wrong I was！

　　At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to tell my friend Danny that I had arrived. A worker asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that's nice. Are you getting married？” he asked. “No,” I replied. “ I just want to tell her on the phone that I have arrived.” “Oh,” he said, “There is a phone downstairs on the first floor.” “But we're on the first floor now,” I said, “Well, I don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you aren't feeling too well after your journey. ” He said. “You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better. ” And he went off leaving me wondering where on earth I was; at home we wash up after a meal to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at the airport？

　　At last we did meet. She explained his misunderstanding; Americans say “to give someone a call,” but we English say “to give somebody a ring”. When we say “to wash our hands”, they say “to wash up”. And Englishman start numbering from the ground floor, so the first floor is the second for Americans.
