American and British people both speak English of course.But sometimes it does not seem like the same language.In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.
(1) Often, Americans don't say each word separately.They say several words together.Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know".Or they may say "Whaddya say?" instead of "What did you say?" However, the British are more careful in their speech.They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English.Words sometimes have different meanings too.(2) Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
(3) In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you "phone them up".In America, you "give them a call".
There are also some differences in grammar.For example, Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question.They say "Do you have a storybook?" But the British often leave out the helping verb.(4)
Most languages are like this.Languages change over time.When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways.This is what has happened to English.(5) Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
A. English is widely used in China.
B. It can also happen to other languages, such as French.
C. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different.
D. They say "Have you a storybook?"
E. English in these two counties is different only in sound.
F. First of all, they sound very different.
G. Many expressions are also different in the two countries.
Recently,teenagers face many kinds of problems.Like many of them.I was once troubled with worries and dissatisfaction.Few people could understand my feelings.(1)
"The problem with your generation is that you always expect to be happy," my mother once said.(2) Shouldn't we try hard to achieve it?
But now I have noticed a change in my thinking.I gradually realize what my mother said was correct.Over these years,many studies have shown that we are crazy about happiness and high personal confidence(3) In fact,we may often be happier when we stop focusing on happiness.
We should also reset our expectations of the future.Don't expect miracles(奇迹),and accept that no matter how hard we try,feelings of failure and unhappiness will appear from time to time.When we feel sad,it's often because we have learned something painful but important.(4) At the same time,we should learn how to deal with them better than trying to make them disappear.
(5) As my mother tried to teach me all those years ago, "Prepare for the worst,hope for the best,and be unsurprised by everything in between."
A.Neither could my parents.
B.We should keep the stress off ourselves.
C.Surely happiness was the purpose of living.
D.That may make us less satisfied with our lives.
E.Happiness arrives when we are least expecting it.
F.So it's necessary for us to accept sad feelings as part of life.

I'm very happy with my handbag that I bought online. It's not expensive. It's not of any luxury brand, but it's of great quality and designed in just the way I like it. That's enough.

Many clothes today must be dry﹣cleaned.(4) When buying new clothes, you had better check if they need to be dry﹣cleaned. You can anve money if you buy clothes that can be washed or that are well made. Well﹣made clothes last longer. They still look good after they have been washed many times.
