介绍:
Different kinds of English.
Voyages of the English people played an important part in spreading the English language. At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many American, Asian, and African countries such as America, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Africa. All based on standard English, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native English speakers. But actually, these English have been gradually changing in accents, spellings, expressions, grammar, and the usage of vocabulary. Because of this fact, you can make use of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example,if
a boss fluently commands his driver, "Come up straight to my private apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs," Instead of requesting politely, "Please go to my flat by lift and fetch some petrol for my lorries and taxis," you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that he probably comes from Britain.
