The Czech Republic Wants to Change Its Name
Today we had a lesson about the topic " The Czech Republic Wants to Change Its Name" , why do the Czech want to change their country's name? I think the most important reason is that it's easily confused with the adjective meaming, so they want to change its name to "Czechia".

The correct term for people from the UK is 'British'
Britain,Great Britain和England都是指英国,其形容词是British和English。英国的全称叫:大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国,英文是The United Kingdom 0f Great Britain and Northern Ireland,其中的不列颠群岛(Great Britain)由 England,Wales和Scotland,由于England在英伦三岛中最大,所以常用它来表示英国。其实,在日常使用时还是用Britain或者Great Britain为好,尽管England比较简洁比较常用,尤其在英国本土的时候,尽量少用England,因为可能引起Wales人和Scotland人的不满。我们就可以听到这样的对话:A:Are you English? B:No, I'm Scotish.
