    I would say, the difference in how similar looking words are pronounced. E.g. Cough sounds different from rough and is also different from dough. Another unusual feature is Phrasal verbs and how many they are. A change of preposition and the meaning changes. E.g. Put up, put on, put down, put out The addition of 2 prepositions changes the meaning too. E.g. put up and put up with or put up to. These are some unusual features of the English Language.

    Standardized tests are just as the name suggests; They are standard. We notice that in and on many forums. We see them employed when having to apply to get into an institution of learning, to land a job, or even to apply for a visa. As we move farther away from these tests and learn that our students do not all learn at the same pace and in the same way, we will receive a well-deserved epiphany; It is important to know although standardized tests serve as a qualification in some aspect, they cannot truly guarantee language proficiency or fluency.
