    The document lists pairs of words where the first word in English may look or sound similar to a word in another language but has a different meaning, called "false friends", and provides the actual translation. It includes 20 pairs of words like "avocado" which looks similar to a word for lawyer in another language but actually means the fruit, and "bank" which sounds like the word for bench in another language but refers to a financial institution. The document acts as a list of false cognates or false friends between English and another unspecified language.
