房子，或者说家吧，有各种日常事务需要处理。正所谓，一个和尚挑水喝，两个和尚挑水喝，三个和尚没水喝。每个人都担负些责任，不太计较得失，就会活得开心一些。
有一次看到一个视频说，居住环境的整洁性影响个人健康，很多疾病是因为空气质量太差连锁反应的结果。不管真假，希望健康常驻。
关于口语的话题，我注意到很多语句似乎有些小的语法错误。尽管如此，这些都是很正常的现象。一个成熟的语言学者，一样是经常犯错的。同时，一个成熟的语言学者，往往也不会在日常交流中太过在意别人的错误。
语言是传播信息的媒介。能把主要意思表达出来已经完成一大半了。至于要说得很完美，挺多了，说多了自然也会了。
太难的短语和单词，诸如acts the martyr，dominated等等，可根据自身水平进行替换。这样的表达，交流的时候不熟悉是想不起来的，都用想得起来的词替换就可以。
--My weekend was dominated by housework.
--I have to do the housework this weekend.
--I will spend the weekend on the housework.
--He always acts the martyr when he has to do the housework.
--He doesn't like to do the housework.
--He always makes an excuse(找借口) when he was requested to do the housework.
无论如何，适合自己的才是最重要的，学成自己的一套语言体系就好。
