When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to master(掌握) the rules(规则)for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can't understand the speakers' sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples."
I've seen the film already. I have already seen the film.
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit (精神实际) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our work time has 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. But we can't work all that time--we need a holiday. Let's say we have three weeks' holiday. We don't work all day. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. We have to remember that we get 2 days' holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year.
There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours' lunch every day, and half an hour's coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!

English people started having tea about 400 years ago. Only rich people had enough money to buy it. At first, they thought it was just a vegetable and cooked it for meals. Then they ate it with butter. They put tea leaves on bread and ate the bread for breakfast.
After that, drinking tea got more and more popular in Europe. One day, a famous young French woman named Madame de Sevigne wanted to see what tea tasted like with milk. Because she was a very great woman, her friends thought they must follow her. So they also drank tea with milk. That's why most people in England drink milk tea today.
