#115 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
O’qituvchi, bugungi mavzu nima?
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Teacher, what is today’s theme?
✅ Well, it should be:
Sir/Madam, what is today’s topic?
❓Why?
❗️ Teacher is not a form of address in English. Students call their teacher either by Sir or Madam/Ma’am or Mr/Mrs/Miss plus family name. This varies between different cultures, however.
❗️ Theme is a mistranslation from Russian тема. The word theme exists in English but means something different: a) the main subject or idea in a piece of writing, speech or film, b) a music tune that keeps coming up, or c) a particular style. This is different from a topic which can be discussed in class.

🎉 Special Day: April Fool's
▶️ For news outlets (=TV stations, radio stations and newspapers) in Europe 1 April is a special day on which fake news are celebrated. Watch how this became a tradition in 1957 when the BBC fooled the British people with a report about the spaghetti harvest in Switzerland. Happy April Fool’s!
