“You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going
around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like
her boyfriend made her c 1 . Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find
someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.”
This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures
with it.
“I need Chinese friends in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,” said a foreign internet user,
showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to
d 2 this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the
beautiful swan and the ugly toad, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish.
In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish b 3 it was full of grammar mistakes.
However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often.
Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can
also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use
it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture.
“Once I understood the full m 4 , it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New
Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest
of the world,” he told China Daily.
Another example is phrase “good good study, day day up.” It’s a d 5 translation from Chinese
and isn’t grammatically correct. But it’s becoming a popular motivational saying worldwide, used on products and
social media. It shows Chinese values in a unique way. This teaches us that communication is about
understanding and sharing our culture not just perfect grammar. As the world gets more connected, English isn’t
just for native speakers any more. Phrases like “You swan,” “ add oil.” and “day day up” bring Chinese ideas into
global languages. They turn language mistakes into culture bridges.
In the end, what matters is warmth and humor we share a 6 borders (国界).

Unit 6 单元话题
Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
What can you do with a shovel, a patch of soil and a bag of seeds To many people, these are the t 1
needed for their favourite pastime—gardening.
Gardening, which brings great joy and satisfaction to many, is a w 2 popular hobby. According to
a 2004 survey, for example, three out of four households in the U.S. were involved in one or more indoor or
outdoor garden activities. Why do people enjoy gardening
Some people garden to get in t 3 with nature. With the amount of time spent at work or watching
TV, many people feel urgent to connect with nature, but seldom have the time to go camping or take a nature hike.
Thus, gardening can help them feel some of this c 4 .
Others enjoy gardening to satisfy their emotional needs. A garden might serve as a private escape from the
demands of everyday life. The beauty of flowers can lift spirits, while pulling weed can be a great release for
stress. A harvest of colorful flowers or tasty vegetables provides a sense of achievement, while neighbors and
visitors often express their appreciation of those efforts.
In Canada, people grow harmful plants in their garden.
In addition, gardening e 5 people to add beauty to their houses, make money by selling the plants
they grow, show their creativity t 6 garden design, etc. There may be as many reason as there are
gardening enthusiasts.
Besides its popularity, gardening is more than just a hobby. In the British Isles, people often surround their
houses and gardens with hedges. The idea of open gardens without hedges is distasteful to many, because they
like privacy.
And gardening is not only a food source or art, but also a right. In a famous Canadian legal case in 1997,
the right to grow all native plants, even most varieties considered harmful, was upheld as part of the right of free
expression, at l 7 in Canada.

“You pretty, he ugly. You swan, he frog!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going
around the Chinese Internet. It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It looked like
her boyfriend made her c 1 . Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find
someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog.”
This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures
with it.
“I need Chinese friends in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs,” said a foreign internet user,
showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to
d 2 this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the
beautiful swan and the ugly toad, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish.
In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish b 3 it was full of grammar mistakes.
However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often.
Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can
also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use
it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture.
“Once I understood the full m 4 , it became much funnier,” said Cody, a young man from New
Zealand, when asked about “you swan, he frog”. “It’s great that more Chinese culture is being shared with the rest
of the world,” he told China Daily.
Another example is phrase “good good study, day day up.” It’s a d 5 translation from Chinese
and isn’t grammatically correct. But it’s becoming a popular motivational saying worldwide, used on products and
social media. It shows Chinese values in a unique way. This teaches us that communication is about
understanding and sharing our culture not just perfect grammar. As the world gets more connected, English isn’t
just for native speakers any more. Phrases like “You swan,” “ add oil.” and “day day up” bring Chinese ideas into
global languages. They turn language mistakes into culture bridges.
In the end, what matters is warmth and humor we share a 6 borders (国界).

After we were on holiday in Scotland, we wanted to travel to London. So my friend p 1 to see me
off. He gave my uncle and me a ride to the train station.
Then I started to b 2 tickets to London. As native speakers of English, we didn’t expect to have
problems in England.
“Two tickets to London, please,” I said to the ticket seller. “Single ” the ticket seller asked me politely.
I thought that there was something wrong with her e 3 and I said again, “Two tickets to London!”
At that moment a man helped me. He said that “a single ticket” in B 4 English doesn’t mean “one
ticket”. It means “a one-way ticket” .
My experience in England taught me that there are some d 5 between British English and
American English. For example, the British say “He’s in hospital”, b 6 Americans say “He’s in the
hospital”. Americans write words like color without the “u” of the English “colour”.

group of musicians from the school choir performed b 2 classical songs and pop songs, and the melody
of their performance touched everyone deeply.
Before the event, volunteers used s 3 media to spread the news. They taught us how to

During the show, an e 4 happened: an old lady suddenly felt dizzy. Luckily, a nurse c 5

What is a m 1 apology
To make an apology that really counts, here’s what you should do:
1. Admit you made a mistake. Figure out what you did wrong and tell the person e 2 what
happened. Even if it wasn’t on purpose, they need to know you understand why it was a problem.
2. Explain, but not too much. If you can, tell them why it happened. But if there’s no good reason, just say
you know it was wrong without making e 3 .
3. P 4 to change. Let them know you’ll try hard not to make the same mistake. You could say
what you’ll do differently or what you’ve l 5 from it.
