单元话题导入
[品读话题短文]
There are many kinds of English; they are different in their vocabulary①, grammar, pronunciation and intonation②. These different kinds of English developed from history, geography, politics and the influence③ of other languages. Some of the major kinds of English are British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English, Indian English and Caribbean(加勒比海地区的) English. The English spoken in Africa is different from country to country. Thus④ there is Nigerian(尼日利亚的) English, South African English, Kenyan(肯尼亚的) English and so on⑤.
All types of English originated⑥ from the English spoken in England. American English has now replaced British English. This is mostly because of the influence of the United States through the cinema, music, technology⑦ and trade⑧. The most noticeable⑨ differences between American and British English are in spelling, pronunciation and vocabulary. Many words that end in our in British English end in or in American English. Words ending in se are British English while their American ones end in ze. Some vocabulary items⑩, too, are different. There are also many differences in expressions. The Americans would say “I just ate” as opposed to “I've just eaten” in British English. In American English, Mary is “on the team”, while in British English, Mary is “in the team”.
