Today, I have a challenge for you! Let’s have some fun learning English!

I see English in every country around the world. Sometimes there is English on a shop sign, on a menu, on a T-shirt or in a song or an advertisement.

The problem is, these signs are not always correct! I have seen some companies use English because they think it looks cool, but the English is wrong!

Fire Water - Fix this English!

For example, above is a sign I found. The sign is on a door to the fire hose.

  
The sign says: “Dangrous Don’t use the Fire Water!!!”
