There are many kinds of English; they are different in their vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and intonation. These different kinds of English develop from history, geography, politics and the influence of other languages. Some of the major kinds of English are British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English, Indian English and Caribbean English. The English spoken in Africa is different from country to country. Thus there are Nigerian English，South African English，Kenyan English and so on. All types of English originated 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 and music, technology and trade. The most noticeable 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 items, too, are different. There are also many differences in expressions. The Americans would say “I just ate” as opposed to “Ive just eaten” in British English. In American English, Mary is “on the team”， while in British English, Mary is “in the team”． Notes 1．intonation n. 语调；音准 2.influence n．影响，作用 3．originate v．起源，发源　　 4.noticeable adj.显而易见的，值得注意的 Task True(T) or false(F)． 1．In the passage, there are 7 kinds of English mentioned in all.(___) 2．The most important differences between British English and American English exist in the dialect.(___) 3．American English has a great influence on the rest of the world through the cinema and music, technology and trade.(___) 返回导航 Unit 2　English around the world 英 语 必 修 ① · 人 教 版 英 语 必修① · 人教版 新课标导学 English around the world Unit 2 1 学习目标展示 2 背景知识链接 学习目标展示 because of　come up　at present　make use of　such as　play a part in elevator petrol gas official voyage native apartment actually AD base grad
