The meanings are completely different, so be careful! For example: 🇬🇧 **I was pi**ed last night.** = I was drunk last night. 🇺🇸 **I was pi**ed last night.** = I was angry at someone last night.

【與 Shihya 聊聊英國留學 🇬🇧】

很多學生以為考到理想的雅思成績，就已經準備好到英國留學了。

但真正到了英國後，你會發現真正的挑戰才剛開始。

不同地區有不同的口音，來自世界各地的國際學生也都有自己的說話方式。有時候，真實生活中的英文，甚至比任何聽力考試都更有挑戰性。

這也是為什麼語言學習不只是考試，更是為了真正的溝通與生活。

想了解更多英國留學、雅思準備，以及海外生活的真實經驗嗎？

📩 歡迎私訊（DM）了解課程詳情。

從簡單的一步開始，改變你的人生。

🇬🇧 Conversations with Shihya: Studying in England

Many students think that once they achieve their target IELTS score, they are fully prepared to study in the UK.

But when you arrive, you quickly discover that the real challenge is real-life English.

Different regions have different accents, and you'll meet international students from all over the world, each with their own way of speaking English. Sometimes real-life communication can be more challenging than any listening test.

That's why learning English isn't just about passing an exam — it's about connecting with people and thriving in a new environment.

Want to learn more about studying abroad, preparing for IELTS, and life in the UK?
