The person I called was my uncle because he is often curious about my new dorm life. Our conversation was very casual and consisted of very few English words because we mainly communicate in Chinese. He asked me ” How are you doing?” instead of “What’s up?” which was expected because I think only people of similar age would say something like that since it is quite informal. He also says soda instead of pop and he does not use the word “hella.”

The set of words such as pool and pull , feel and fill sound completely different to me, whereas collar and caller sound the exact same. I feel that although many words in the English language sound similar to one another, as long as we use it in a correct sentence, we will be able to differentiate the meaning of it.
