II. Language and Culture Notes

1. Windy, isn't it? When an Englishman is meeting a stranger or a mere 7 acquaintance and feels the urge to talk, he often tries to start a conversation by making some remarks about the weather. For example, he may start with 'A nice day, isn't it?', 'It's cold, isn't it?', etc. And it is always polite to agree and say, 'Yes, it is' when one is spoken to.

2. What do you do? is equal to 'What do you do for a living?' or 'What is your job?'.

e.g. ?a What do you do?

?a I'm a doctor.

3. Would you like a coffee? 'A coffee' here means 'a cup of coffee'. Examples of this kind are often found in spoken English, such as 'What about a whisky a glass of whisky?', 'We want two teas two cups of tea.'
