House or home




House describes a particular type of building.


Home is the place where you live and feel that you belong to.


Compare the following:

• 'Most people in Britain live in semi-detached houses.'

• 'We’re going to buy Emma a doll’s house for Christmas.'

• 'The Houses of Parliament in London are visited by 50,000 people each year.'

• 'I’ve enjoyed living abroad for the last six years, but it’s time for me to go back home now!'

• 'We were at home in bed when our car was stolen from outside the house.'

• 'These children need a good home and we are in a position to give them one.'

Note also the differences in meaning and use between 'houseproud', 'housework' and 'homework', 'homesick' and 'homeless'.


Study the following:


• 'I did my housework (i.e. cleaning the house) this morning and my homework (work given to me by my school to do at home) this afternoon.'


• 'People say that I’m houseproud because I spend so much time cleaning the house so that others will admire it.'

• 'She said that she was missing her home and family so much. She sounded really homesick.'

• 'I am homeless. I have no home to go to.

Do u know that there 's a difference between wish & hope?
Here u are.




Wish and hope


The verb wish is used in a variety of different ways and hope cannot be used as a 'stand alone' verb in a

sentence, other than in the expressions 'I hope so' or 'I hope not.'

Let's look at wish first of all.

In your 'Merry Christmas' example, or when you wish someone good luck or Happy Birthday, you are expressing

the hope that they will have good luck in the future, often in connection with a particular event, or that they

will enjoy their birthday which is to come. Thus we have expressions like:

• 'I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.'

• 'Remember it's Sarah's birthday tomorrow. Don't forget to wish her many happy returns.'

• 'They wished me all the best in my new job.'

• 'I wish you good health and every happiness in the New Millennium.'

As you suggest, wish is also used when you wish that something were the case or you would like


it to be the case even though you know that it is impossible or unlikely. In this sense, the verb which follows

wish has a past tense inflection. Thus we have:

• 'We wish you could be here.'

• 'He wished he hadn't said that, for Fiona was terribly upset.'

• 'It rained every day. I do wish I hadn't gone there for my holidays.'

• 'I wish you didn't have to work so hard.'

Wish, as in 'wish to', is also sometimes used as a slightly more formal alternative to 'want to'. So

we have:

• 'They were very much in love and wished to get married as soon as it could be arranged.'

• 'I don't wish to see him ever again,' she said, five months after they were married.'

• 'He could do most of his work from home, if he wished.'

• 'I don't wish to interrupt (your conversation), but the potatoes are burning dry.'

• 'I don't wish to be rude, but that red dress really doesn't suit you.'

Now let's take a brief look at hope. We speak of people's 'hopes for the future' and hope

normally signals future intentions. If you hope to do something, you want to do it and intend to do it if you

possibly can.

Like wish it can be used with to, plus infinitive. So we might have:

• 'I hope to be a millionaire by the time I'm thirty.'

• 'I was hoping to catch the 5.30 train and would have caught it, if Jennifer hadn't phoned.'

However, when a new subject is introduced, hope must be followed by a clausal construction.

Thus, we would find:

• 'I hope (that) she'll like these flowers.'

• 'Her mother hoped (that) Judith would become a doctor, but her heart was always set on the

stage.'

• 'I hope (that) you won't think me rude, but that red dress that you're wearing definitely doesn't suit

you.'

• 'They were stranded on the side of the mountain and hoped (that) the rescue team would reach them before nightfall.'
Hopes and wishes! It is my hope and wish that all of you out there reading this column will enjoy good health

and every happiness in the New Millennium. Or, to put it in two other ways: I wish you good health and every

happiness in the 21st Century. I hope you'll enjoy good health and every happiness in the 21st Century.

The difference between see/watch are




'Look', 'see' and 'watch' seem very similar, they all talk about different ways of using your eyes. However, there

are two very important differences. It depends on how you intend to look or watch and how intense the looking

is. When we say 'see' we are normally talking about things we can't avoid – so for example, "I opened the

curtains and saw some birds outside." - I didn't intend to see them, it just happened. However, when we use

the verb 'look', we're talking about seeing something with an intention. So, "this morning I looked at the

newspaper" – I intended to see the newspaper.

When we watch something, we intend to look at it but we're also looking at it quite intensely, usually because

it's moving. So, for example, "I watched the bus go through the traffic lights." "I watched the movie." We want

to see it, we're looking at it intensely and it's normally moving.


When we use verbs of the senses, and this group, 'look', 'see' and 'watch' are verbs of visual sense, there's

usually a difference between intention and non-intention, so, for example, "I heard the radio." - I didn't intend


to, it just happened, or, "I listened to the radio" - I switched it on to find my favourite programme. Similarly, "I felt

the wind on my face." - I didn't intend to feel this, it just happened, or "I touched the fabric." - I intended to

feel the fabric.


It's important when you find these verbs of the senses to gather them together and try to find the differences

between them. Remember that when you look at words which seem to be similar it's important to find out

exactly the differences between them because basically you can't really use them interchangeably.


Remember, 'see' – you didn't really intend to, it just happened; 'look' – you intended to do it; and watch you

intended to do it and you were looking intensely, usually because it was moving.

What's The Difference Between A "Watch" and a "Warning"?




You'll see us mention a lot of various "watches" and "warnings" during the fall and winter months.


A "watch" means that conditions are right for the event to happen. So, for example, if we say there's a "High

Wind Watch" for an area, that means that high winds are possible, but not imminent. It's an early heads up that

something merits close attention.


A "warning" means the condition is imminent or already happening. Thus, a "High Wind Warning" means that

high winds are happening now, or are going to happen in the warning area.

What is the difference between a fluorescent light and a neon light

A neon light



is the sort of light you see used in advertising signs.

These signs are made of long, narrow glass tubes, and these tubes

are often bent into all sorts of shapes. The tube of a neon light can

spell out a word, for example. These tubes emit light in different

colors.



A fluorescent light


, on the other hand, is most often a long, straight

tube that produces white light. You see fluorescent lights in offices,

stores and some home fixtures.

The idea behind a neon light is simple. Inside the glass tube there is

a gas like neon, argon or krypton at low pressure. At both ends of

the tube there are metal electrodes. When you apply a high voltage

to the electrodes, the neon gas ionizes, and electrons flow through

the gas. These electrons excite the neon atoms and cause them to


emit light that we can see. Neon emits red light when energized in

this way. Other gases emit other colors.
