在汉语中，词序和虚词是表达语法意义的重要手段。很多时候变换词序就能改变句子原本的意思。于佑任先生是一位著名的书法家，他的墨宝千金难买。曾经有一段时间于先生住在乡下，居住环境不是很好，总是有人在他的房子附近小便，于是，他写了一句话禁止路人小便。他的秘书拿到这句话，心里冒出了一个主意……

Many students are afraid of speaking because they worry about vocabulary. Find easy ways to describe things. Here is a fun example of describing cheese!

The Social Evolutionary

How can you describe cheese?

We live in a world of rules. We see them everywhere when we travel by plane. No liquids! Wait here! Turn off your phones!

But what about those unspoken rules — the ones that aren't written down and no one is exactly sure about.

A travel expert from the US has been explaining her unspoken rules for the airplane journey.

TV host Samantha Brown shared her rules with CNN, including one that makes the middle seat feel a little more comfortable.

According to Brown, if you find yourself in one of the middle seats on a plane, you should get both of the armrests to yourself.

Sitting in the middle isn't always very popular and so Brown says these passengers should get "anything they want."

That means even if the people on the outside begin using those armrests, the person in the middle has the right to "slowly push them off!"

Brown says she likes the aisle seat best because she feels she has more space.

She added that people sitting by the window should have control of the window blind — whether it's up or down. And the others don't have the right to decide!

One thing that can make some passengers angry is people in front putting their seats back.

Brown has a rule for this — if the journey takes less than three hours, she doesn't put her seat back, but she does if it's a longer trip.
