Good afternoon! Happy new year!!
Today our key points are:
1.年份的表达
In English language if we wanna say a year we cut the 4 numbers in half, for example the year 1776 is divided into 17 and 76, and for the years that after 1999 we usually say 2 thousand and blah blah, like today is January 3, 2015, 2014年 in English is 2 thousand and 14 or twenty fourteen.
美国一般采用月/日/年来表示日期,英国一般是日,月,年;而中国呢一般就是年,月,日的形式;有时候一个小小的日期写不对就会引发很大的误会,so please pay attention to these details.

3.huge 巨大的;
同义词:great,large, enormous, tremendous, gigantic.
