　　English names and Chinese names are quite different in some 　　1　　 ways, but it’s not hard for us to know．

　　Unlike Chinese, most English people have 　　2　　 names．One is their family name, both of the other names are given names．Their family name is 　　3　　 the given name．They use Mr, Mrs or Miss with the 　　4　　 name, but they never use 　　5　　 first name．For example, we can 　　6　　 a man named James Allan Green Mr Green, 　　7　　 we can’t call him Mr James or Mr Allan．People usually use Jim 　　8　　 James．Jim is short for James because it’s 　　9　　 to remember．

　　But Chinese names are the opposite．A girl with the name Han Limei 　　10　　 her family name Han first．Of course, she can be called Ah Mei for short in China if you wish．
