people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result,they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish,the word ‘DIVERSION' means fun.In English,it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION' on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun.Instead,the road ended in a large hold.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris.when someone offered me some more.coffee,I said ‘Thank you' in French.I meant that I would like some more,However ,to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that ‘Thank you' in French means ‘Mo,thank you.'
