    Message from huypeter posted on 26-03-2013 at 17:37:48
    Hello,

    I can't distinguish some words. Hope everyone will help me.
    ''liberty'' and ''freedom''
    ''famous'' and ''well-known''
    Thanks all!

    Hello;
    I have two explanations for the words Freedom and Liberty:
    the english word is freedom. liberty is just anglicized from the french word liberté.
    or
    the word "freedom" I think it is about individual "liberties" like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, etc... While "liberty" is a more general term that encompasses all that.
    Good luck

    Hello again;
    For your second question it is very simple:
    when you say somebody is famous he is obviously well-known so the difference between them it is in a degree: Being famous is more than being well-known.
    Good luck
