“The relationship between words and meanings is extremely complicated, and belongs to the field of semantics. For now, though, what you need to know is that words do not have single, simple meanings. “
As the society developing, “many of the most obvious changes in the English language over the past few decades”, many words have more and more meaning, even totally different meaning. English as the second language, I cannot know these words well. Sometimes, we only know denotation---a literal meaning of the word. So when we use these words, our readers maybe will get the different meaning.
Catch Phrases
“While clichés and catch phrases have no place in academic essays, there are some times of writing where you should use pre-existing formulas.” So maybe these words are very funny and make sense but not academic, so we cannot use these words in scientific article. What we can practice is more we read, and then we can improve the sense of judgment.
In a conclusion, I always have many ideas, but I do not know how to express, this is also painful to me. It’s extremely urgent for me to improve express skill.
