Cách sử dụng
A workhouse was a place in England where poor people who couldn't afford to support themselves would have to go and work hard in exchange for food and a place to sleep. Workhouses existed in the past and were often places of hardship and suffering for those who had to live there. Today, the word 'workhouse' is not commonly used and may have negative connotations, so it is not recommended to use it in most contexts.
