Have to learn more and more

Though I can compose English sentences somehow, there still remain a lot for me to learn.

For example, I don’t know how people refer to the size of paper in other countries.

In Japan, the size of paper in the office is referred to as a combination of English letter “A” or “B” and a number, e.g. B5, A4, B4, A3, and so on. I heard this is a scale which derived from the custom of Japanese paper manufactures. That means situation must be different in other countries.

We can find the same thing in the size of batteries. In Japan, batteries are classified as Tan-ichi (Unit 1), Tan-ni (Unit 2), Tan-san (Unit 3), and Tan-yon (Unit 4), depending on their size.
Unit 3 battery is called “size AA battery” in the States. (←That’s what I read in the dictionary. I don’t know what they actually call each class of battery in US.)

Anyway, the fact is that I have to keep working to improve English everyday because there still remain a lot to learn even in the field of English.

Not to mention all the other subjects in this world!
