Hello, everybody. I'm 芥末膏, an English learner like you. Starting from today, I'll write posts named "和“芥末”一起学英语”. Please keep in mind that I'm not a teacher or is trying to teach you. What I will do is to share what I know and what I just learn with everybody who enjoys learning English. You're welcome to point out any mistakes I may make or share with us your thoughts. Let's learn from each other.
Now let's talk about the word "hotel" for the first post.
We know that a hotel can be rated as "one star - five stars hotel", right? Now do you know there is another way to say hotels. It's like this:
1-2 star(s) hotel: budget hotel
3 stars hotel: middle class hotel
4 stars hotel: first class hotel
5 starts hotel: luxury hotel
Please note when you go to a hotel for one night or several nights, you stay there instead of living there. You never live in a hotel but to stay in a hotel. If you stay in one place for many years as a permanent living place, you say that you live there. Hope you're well understood.
