[01:45.25]I would say from the very first evening when I set foot into that house.
[01:51.73]"Good evening,Mr Brown could you please put your coat on the peg3?

[02:38.30]Good night. Oh,Mr Brown.
[02:42.85]Would you please be quiet after nine o'clock in the evening?
[02:47.92]And that was only the beginning.
[02:51.86]"Mr Brown,don't shower after nine" she shouted.
[02:57.42]she would walk pass my door and say
[03:01.50]"Mr Brown would you please remember not to smoking5 in the bathroom?
[03:07.06]could you lock the door please?"
[03:10.54]Will you turn down your radio please?"

[05:08.77]READING ENGLISH AROUND THE WORLD
[05:17.73]English is a language spoken all around the world.
[05:23.08]There are more than 42 countries where the majority of the people speak English.
[05:30.24]Most native speakers of English are found in the United7 Kingdom,
[05:36.09]the United States of America,Canada,Australia,
[05:42.73]South Africa,Ireland and New Zealand.
[05:48.58]In total,for more than 375 million people English is their mother tongue.
[05:57.36]And equal number people learn English as a second language.
[06:03.60]These people will perhaps speak the language of their own country at home with their family,
[06:10.76]but the language of the government,schools,newspapers and TV is English
[06:19.30]This situation is found in counties8 such an India,
[06:24.57]Pakistan,Nigeria and the Philippines.
[06:30.03]However,the number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million.
[06:38.99]Everywhere in the world children go to school to learn English.
[06:45.16]Most people learn English for five or six years at high school.
[06:51.61]In China students learn English at school as a foreign language,
[06:57.78]except for those in Hong Kong,
[07:01.83]where many people speak English as a first or at a second language.
[07:08.30]In only fifty years,
[07:11.96]English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world.
[07:18.91]English is the working language of most international organizations,
[07:25.15]international trade and tourism.
[07:30.01]Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese.
[07:37.56]Chinese businessmen,taxi drivers and students talk with them using English.
[07:45.29]English is also the language of global9 culture,
[07:50.65]such as popular music and the Internet.
[07:55.51]You can listen to English songs on the radio
[08:00.47]or use English to comm -unicate with people around the world through the Internet.
[08:07.13]With so many people communicating in English every day,
[08:13.09]it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.
[08:19.75]INTEGRATING SKILLS
[08:27.01]Reading and writing
[08:30.48]AMERICAN ENGLISH AND BRITISH ENGLISH
[08:35.24]Many students want to know about the differences
[08:40.59]between American English and British English.
[08:45.56]How did these differences come about?
[08:49.50]There is no quick answer to this question.
[08:53.76]At first the language in Britain and America was the same.
[08:59.53]In 1776 America became an independent country.
[09:06.09]After that,the language slowly began to change.
[09:11.42]For a long time the language in America stayed the same,
[09:16.85]while the language in England changed.
[09:21.21]For example,300 years ago the English talked about "fall".
[09:28.58]Today,most British people talk about "autumn",
[09:34.04]but Americans still talk about "fall".
[09:39.00]In the same way Americans still use the expression "I guess"(meaning "I think"),
[09:47.96]just as the British did 300 years ago.
[09:53.11]At the same time.
[09:56.17]British English and American English stared borrowing words from other languages,
[10:03.53]ending up with different words.
[10:07.58]For example,the British took "typhoon10" from Chinese,
[10:14.24]while the Americans took "tornado11" from Spanish.
[10:20.20]In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary.
[10:26.86]He wanted to make American English different from British English,
[10:32.92]so he changed the spelling of many words .
[10:37.68]That's why the words colour,centre and traveller12 are spelt color,
[10:46.82]center and traveler in American English.
[10:51.78]Except for these differences in spelling,
[10:56.04]written English is more or less the same in both British and American English.
[11:03.12]The differences are greater in the spoken language.
[11:07.98]For example,Americans say dance ,and in southern England they say/da:ns/.
[11:16.23]In America they pronounce not [];in southern England they say [].
[11:24.77]However,most of the time people from the two countries do not have any difficulty13 in understanding each other.
