A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms(习语), though my teacher told us the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head,shrugging his shoulders, he said,“You don't say!” “You don't say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, I'd better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted(打断)again by his words: “You don't say!” I couldn't help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn't ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn't you say ‘you don't say'?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don't say' actually means ‘really!' It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

My name is Jessica Meir. I am a flight engineer on the International Space Station(ISS)(国际空间站). Today, I will tell you something about what life is like on the ISS.

The ISS has over 425 cubic meters(立方) of living space. I work here with astronauts from the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and some other countries.

When we are on the ISS, we have to follow an everyday schedule. It tells us when to get up, eat, exercise, work, relax and go to sleep. We spend about two hours each day exercising. Without enough exercise, we would lose an amount of muscle(肌肉) because of the microgravity(微重力) environment in space.

When we are on the ISS, we eat food that is specially made. We eat some foods, such as cakes, in space in the same way as we do on the Earth. But some other foods are real challenges. For example, when we' re in space, we can't shake salt onto food, because the salt would float away(飘走). As a result, we have to use special salt.

When we are not busy working on the ISS, we can relax and have fun in different ways. We also love to listen to music, read books, play cards, watch movies and talk with our family members.

As you can see, the microgravity environment in space brings many challenges that you don't face on the Earth. Would you like to live for some time on the ISS.
