Unit 2　English around the world 【美文阅读】　 There are many kinds of English；they are different in their vocabulary，grammar，pronunciation and intonation.These different kinds of English developed 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 is 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，music，technology and trade.The most noticeable differences between American and British Eng -lish 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”． 【诱思导学】　 1．Which kind of English do you like best？Why？Give your reason. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 2．Do you think Chinese will become the international language instead of English one day? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】　1.I like British English best.Because it is the source of other kinds of English. 2．I dont think so.Because there are only a few people speak Chinese outside China.
