感謝大家的踴躍提問，讓我們一起成長學習：
1.關於尾牙抽獎
尾牙一般用Year End Party，也有同學提供是Lucky Draw Party
抽獎多半用Lucky draw
抽到的獎項是 Lucky draw prize
紅包就是Lucky money或 red envelope
2.費用常用的單字有兩個
Expenditure-多半指資產負在表上，可以增加資產時的支出，比如買器材。
Expense-一般性的消耗支出，比如水費。
下面是Answers.com的解釋：
Expenses: These are those amounts the economic benefit of which has already taken by the business.
Expenditure: These are those amounts the economic benefit of which has not yet completely or partially taken by the business like capital expenditure for example machinery purchased etc
因此尾牙抽獎的報帳據此推斷應該是用expense比較恰當(若有同學更確定可以告訴我們喔！感謝！)
3. 關於新聞的片語問題：
Obama daughters take White House childhood in stride
WASHINGTON, Jan 17: The Obama girls have quietly made a mark of their own: shielded from public over-exposure, they are growing up with rules and responsibilities and making it look easy, even though they live in the White House.
同學詢問其中的made a mark:
裡面的make a mark是特殊的片語用法:
意味著因為與眾不同而famous/be noticed
這邊有點一語雙關。一般是因為不平凡而出名，他們則是因為平凡而出名。
這一段是說即便是住在白宮，他們也守規矩、有責任感，不過於曝光。後面的段落就說他們跟所有女孩一樣平凡(normal)，也就是異於大家的想像，所以用make a mark.
另外標題裡的take sth in stride，也值得學習，就是輕鬆應對
