English Grammar Lesson: The articles in the English language 📖

Around the world, "Kiwi" is a popular nickname for New Zealanders, and people from New Zealand will often call themselves "Kiwis" too. For most New Zealanders, the word Kiwi is a positive and friendly nickname — but where did it come from?

The name actually comes from the kiwi: a fluffy bird that has a round body, a long beak and cannot fly. It is only found in New Zealand.

While the bird was already used on New Zealand's stamps and money by the late 19th century, it was first used to represent New Zealand in 1904 — when it was used in a cartoon to represent the country's rugby team. After that, the bird was often shown in cartoons to represent the country.

During World War I, soldiers from New Zealand who were fighting in Europe wore an image of the bird on their uniforms. "Kiwi" became a popular nickname for these soldiers, and it continued to be used after the war.

So the people and the birds don't get mixed up, "Kiwi" as a nickname for New Zealanders is usually written with a capital K, while the bird's name is usually written with a small k: "kiwi."

The kiwi fruit, which is originally from China, is also named after the bird. In 1959, fruit exporters in New Zealand started calling it "kiwifruit" because its fluffy, brown skin looks similar to the fluffy bird.

However, it is important not to mix up Kiwi people, kiwi birds and the kiwi fruit! Although the fruit is usually just called "kiwi" in other parts of the world, New Zealanders only ever call it "kiwifruit."

首先，我们要学几个常用的词。左拐，右拐，调头，直走，过路口，停车。
First, let’s learn several words you will use.

Turn left – 左拐（zuǒ guǎi）,
Turn right – 右拐(yòu guǎi )，
U turn – 调头  (diào tóu)，
Go straight – 直走（zhí zǒu）, 
Cross the road – 过马路（guò mǎ lù）,
Stop the car - 停车（tíng chē）。

那么现在，标题的句子对你来说就已经不是很难了。“左拐，前面停车（zuǒ guǎi，qián miantíng chē）”“左拐”的意思是“Turn left”，“左”- Left，“拐”-to turn. “前面”的意思是“front”.”停车”的“停”-stop，车 – car. 所以合在一起，就是“左拐，前面停车（zuǒ guǎi，qián miantíng chē）”
And now, I think the sentence in the title is not too difficult for you. “左拐，前面停车（zuǒ guǎi，qián mian tíng chē）”- Turn left, then stop in the front.“左拐” means “Turn left”， “左” is Left， “拐” means to turn. “前面” means“front”.”停车”’s“停” is stop，车 means car. So put them together and it should be“左拐，前面停车（zuǒ guǎi，qián miantíng chē）”
