依法治县Four Common British Expressions：
"A piece of cake"
And this is very similar to "Easy-peasy,lemon squeezy," which we've discusd in a former video.And basically,it means very easy.So I might come out of an easy exam saving,"That exam was a piece of cake. "
"Break a leg!"
It actually looks really rather cruel,but I promi you it's positive.And "Break a leg!" means "Good luck!" So before a race,before a job interview,before a test,instead of saying "Good l
uck!" I might say "Break a leg!"
"It cost an arm and a leg."
And this basically means something was really expensive.If I say,"My bag cost an arm and a leg," I mean it cost a lot of money.
"To call it a day."
And this means "to end a task".So,for example,"I'm feeling a bit tired.I think I'll call it a day." That means "I think I'll stop here.Let's finish."
Thank you so much for watching this program of "Four Common British Expressions." I hope you like it,and I hope you've learned something.

I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated,but the best thing always needs waiting.I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park,which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park,we were advid to watch the early morning sunri.I was lost in the sighteing（观光）that afternoon,so I could hardly wait to e the sunri.The next morning,we all got out of bed very early and got to the aside at 3 o'clock.In the first half an hour,we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our ski
n,so we waited and waited.However,another half an hour later,I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the 仙螺岛chilly darkness,and I felt that I was frozen to death.But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later,"Amazing！" Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light,which was really unbelievable.Until today,I dare say that it is the most impressive sunri in my life.However,waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I can't forget forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination（决心），but what about the result after that？It might turn out to be pleasing and unbelievable.So,it is really worth waiting for the best.

Online,English has become a common language for urs from around the world.In the p
rocess,the language itlf is changing.There are now thought to be some 4.5 billion web pages worldwide.Some language experts predict that within 10 years English will occupy the internet — but in forms very different to what we accept and recognize as English today.
That's becau people who speak English as a cond language already outnumber native speakers.And increasingly,they u it to communicate with other non-native speakers,especially on the internet where less attention is paid to grammar and spelling and urs don't have to worry about their accent（口音）.
Urs of Facebook already socialize in a number of different "Englishes" including Indian English,Spanish English and Korean English.While the different styles have long existed within their cultures,they're now expanding and coming online.Technology companies are introducing newly-developed English words with products aimed at enabling urs to add words that are not already in the English dictionary.And most large companies have English websites,while smaller business are learning that they need a common language — English — to reach global customers.

"English has taken its place as the world's common language,but it's not pushing out other languages." Instead,other languages are pushing their way into English,and in the process creating something new.
