本单元的中心话题是 “English language and its development, different kinds of English”. 通过对世界英语这一话题的探讨,加强学生对英语语言的
了解,对当代语言特别是英语发展趋势的了解.世界在发展,时代在前进,语言作为交流的工具,也随着时代的发展而变化.由于英语在世界上的广泛使用,它不断地吸收、交融、容纳、创新,这就形成了各种各样带有国家、民族、地区特色的英语. 没有人们认为的那种唯一的标准英语。尽管如此，我们还是要通过本课文的学习让同学们感受、了解美国英语、澳大利亚英语、印度英语、新加坡英语等都有自己的规律和惯用法，和不同的发音规律。

Text 10
Many people say that one is better than the other when it comes to English. However, the fact is no one style of English is more correct than the other but you must choose one. There are really very few differences between British English and American English. However, the largest differences are the choices of vocabulary and pronunciation. Spelling also differ with each style>American words ending in “o-r” and “o-u-r” in British English. For example, in American English you would spell color “c-o-l-o-r” and “f-l-a-v-o-r”. In British English you would Spell “c-o-l-o-u-r’ and “f-l-a-v-o-u-r”. Also the word “t-h-e-a-t-e-r” in American English is spelled “t-h-e-a-t-r-e” in British English. American English says “truck’, WHILE British English calls it “lorry”. American English SAYS “two weeks” while British English says “fortnight”. In names of American river, the word “river” usually comes after the name, for example, Colorado River. However, British river have the word “river” before the name like River Thames.
