Tips

Useful Phrases

•I'm from...(city or country)*
•I hear it's beautiful/hot/expensive there.
•How do you like it here?
•How long have you been here?

*Learners often say "I come from..." instead of "I'm from...". Native speakers use "come from" for things or animals, not people: The toys come from China. Milk comes from cows.

*英語學習者常常會說"I come from..."而不是"I'm from..."，但事實上英語國家的人將"come from"用於東西或動物身上，不用於人。例如：The toys come from China. 這些玩具來自中國。Milk comes from cows. 牛奶是奶牛產的。
