Cách sử dụng
The word 'poorhouse' refers to a place where poor people in the past would go to live if they had no money, food or shelter. These places were usually run by the government or charities and provided basic necessities like food and shelter in exchange for work. The use of 'poorhouse' is not very common today because we have different ways of supporting people in need such as homeless shelters or welfare programs. It is important to understand that the word 'poorhouse' is now considered outdated and may be offensive to some people, so it is best to use more current and respectful language to talk about poverty and social services.
