how much English do you really understand?

1. "torture" is an English word. Do you think it means "beatings"?

if so, then if you were hung by your wrists from a hook, you were not "tortured"?

2. "stick" is an English word. Is it the same as "club"?

3. what does "house" mean? "building"? "church"

4. sometimes, you are not sure what the answer is, but, you do not want to ask for clarification, so you guess at the answer? [David did this when he went to England in 1970, and when he could not fully understand the people in London as they spoke English with heavy accents]
