English around the world
English is spoken as a first language by several countries including Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Canada and the United States. While all of these countries share the same mother language, there are some differences in the way they speak and write.
The first difference is in the accent (口音). Each country has its own accent. So you can imagine how many different accents there are in the world!
Another difference is the spelling of some words, like color and colour, or theater and theatre.
A third difference is that some of the words are not the same at all. For example, Americans say restroom，and Canadians say washroom. But all of these words have the same meaning (the room where the toilet is).
So which English is best English to learn?
Well, there is no best English. They are all equally (相等地) good and correct. But two things may help you decide which one is best for you to study.
First of all, where do you live? If you are from South America, for example, you will be more exposed (使接触到) to North American English. If you live in Europe, most likely you will be more exposed to British English.
The second thing to think about is ______ you are learning English. Is it for business? Travel? To watch movies? Think about the kind of English you plan to use and focus on understanding people there.
But no matter where you study English or whether it’s British, American, Australian, or whatever, it’s good to know ______ about English in other countries.
