To improve the efficiency of daily communication, it is very useful for newly arrived Chinese students to learn more colloquial expressions, because real oral communication is rarely as standard as the English taught in domestic classrooms. For example, "Loo" refers to toilet (WC), "Tube" refers to subway (Metro), "Tea" in some cases means main meal, "Pants" refers to underwear, people say "flat" (apartment) instead of "apartment". "To let" means "for rent". In informal situations, "Cheers" is often used instead of "Thank you".
