[00:26.67]JOE:No,not really. I'm very tired.Could I use your bathroom?

[00:32.03]NANCY:Why,of course.You don't need to ask,just make yourself at home.

[00:38.40]Let me give you a clean towel.

[00:42.24]JOE:A towel?

[00:44.98]NANCY:Yes.Here you are.The bathroom is upstairs.

[01:32.73]It's that woman,she drives me crazy.It all started right from the very first day.

[01:42.01]I would say from the very first evening when I set foot into that house.

[01:48.46]"Good evening,Mr Brown could you please put your coat on the peg 3?

[01:54.52]Oh,no,not there.In the closet 4 please.Yes, thank you.

[02:00.58]And oh your shoes,could you please take them off.Thank you.

[02:33.39]Good night.Oh,Mr Brown.

[02:37.65]Would you please be quiet after nine o'clock in the evening?

[02:42.69]And that was only the beginning."Mr Brown,don't shower after nine" she shouted.

[02:50.45]she would walk pass my door and say

[02:54.50]"Mr Brown would you please remember not to smoking 5 in the bathroom?

[03:00.06]could you lock the door please?"Will you turn down your radio please?"

[03:05.81]"Please Mr Brown,could you speak quietly on the phone?"

[03:11.16]It was terrible.Oh I could not stay there another week for sure.

[03:18.53]and then there was this letter "Dear Mr Brown." said.

[04:58.37]READING ENGLISH AROUND THE WORLD

[05:06.13]English is a language spoken all around the world.

[05:11.48]There are more than 42 countries where the majority of the people speak English.

[05:18.75]Most native speakers of English are found in the United 7 Kingdom,

[05:24.39]the United States of America,

[05:27.94]Canada,Australia,South Africa,Ireland and New Zealand.

[05:36.48]In total,for more than 375 million people English is their mother tongue.

[05:45.26]And equal number people learn English as a second language.

[05:51.43]These people will perhaps speak the language of their own country at home with their family,

[05:58.69]but the language of the government,schools,newspapers and TV is English.

[06:07.15]This situation is found in counties 8 such an India,

[06:12.51]Pakistan,Nigeria and the Philippines

[06:17.84]However,the number of people who learn English as a foreign language

[06:23.87]is more than 750 million.

[06:28.91]Everywhere in the world children go to school to learn English.

[06:35.08]Most people learn English for five or six years at high school.

[06:41.55]In China students learn English at school as a foreign language,

[06:47.72]except for those in Hong Kong,

[06:51.66]where many people speak English as a first or at a second language.

[06:58.22]In only fifty years,

[07:01.88]English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world.

[07:08.85]English is the working language of most international organizations,

[07:15.10]international trade and tourism.

[07:19.54]Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese.

[07:27.19]Chinese businessmen,taxi drivers and students talk with them using English.

[07:34.95]English is also the language of global 9 culture,

[07:40.30]such as popular music and the Internet.

[07:45.16]You can listen to English songs on the radio

[07:50.13]or use English to communicate with  people around the world through the Internet.

[07:56.79]With so many people communicating in English every day,

[08:02.74]it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.

[08:09.40]INTEGRATING SKILLS

[08:15.65]Reading and writing

[08:19.12]AMERICAN ENGLISH AND BRITISH ENGLISH

[08:23.98]Many students want to know about the differences

[08:29.13]between American English and British English.

[08:34.30]How did these differences come about?

[08:38.24]There is no quick answer to this question.

[08:42.50]At first the language in Britain and America was the same.

[08:48.27]In 1776 America became an independent country.

[08:54.83]After that,the language slowly began to change.

[09:00.19]For a long time the language in America stayed the same,

[09:05.52]while the language in England changed.

[09:09.90]For example,300 years ago the English talked about "fall".

[09:17.04]Today,most British people talk about "autumn",

[09:22.39]but Americans still talk about "fall".

[09:27.35]In the same way Americans still use the expression

[09:33.00]"I guess"(meaning"I think"),just as the British did 300 years ago.

[09:41.64]At the same time.

[09:44.70]British English and American English stared borrowing words from other languages,

[09:51.96]ending up with different words.

[09:55.93]For example,the British took"typhoon" from Chinese,

[10:02.70]while the Americans took "tornado 10" from Spanish.

[10:08.65]In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary.

[10:15.31]He wanted to make American English different from British English,

[10:21.24]so he changed the spelling of many words .

[10:25.97]That's why the words colour,centre and traveller 11 are spelt color,

[10:35.12]center and traveler in American English.

[10:40.08]Except for these differences in spelling,

[10:44.44]written English is more or less the same in both British and American English.

[10:51.28]The differences are greater in the spoken language.

[10:56.25]For example,Americans say dance,and in southern England they say.

[11:04.61]In America they pronounce not in southern England they say.

[11:13.15]However,most of the time people from the two countries

[11:19.34]do not have any difficulty 12 in understanding each other.
