Today, my family and I were sitting in the living room having random conversations. Suddenly, my aunt was talking about someone she knows who has just gotten his degree. She mentioned that his English was so poor, that when someone asked him to take a seat, he really took up the seat. At that moment I was already rolling on the floor laughing. She also mentioned that the degree graduate was filling an application and he didn't know that sex has two meanings, so he filled in NO EXPERIENCE. That was the funniest thing ever. Poor guy, I'm sure there were some people who were embarrassed. Another situation she talked about was this foreign guy who was at the bakery. After getting the things he wanted, he went up to the cashier and said this bread take away, and this one stay. What he meant was, he wants to eat the bread straightaway. So, you see sometimes understanding a language is very important, because we wouldn't want to be embarrassed in public.
