6、glish. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems. How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport.

12、 language. No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many British people feel about American English. But are American and British English really so different? Vocabulary The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. There are hundreds of everyday
13、words that are different. For example, Americans go on vacation while British people go on holiday; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats. There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, most Americans and British people can usually guess the meaning thro
14、ugh the context of a sentence. Past Tense Verbs Youll also find some differences in past forms of irregular verbs. The past tense of learn in American English is learned. British English has the optionof learned or learnt. The same rule applies to dreamed and dreamt, burned and burnt ,and leaned and
15、 leant. Americans tend to use the -ed ending; British people tend to use the -t ending. Spelling There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English. Noah Webster, an author, politician and teacher, made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s. Webst

It is said that a good reader is also a good writer and a good speaker. However, in todays world
21、, reading is something that most children dislike doing. There are simply so many distractions (分心的事物) that books, magazines, and newspapers are often ignored and they are in favor of video games and movies. And while video games and movies also play a role in helping the child learn the English lan
22、guage, they still cant quite compare to reading. And as a result, kids are learning less and less. Take a look at an elementary level text book.
