Then the teacher and the students go over the new words and expressions of this period. The teacher gives explanations whe
5、n necessary.
Step II Fast Reading
T: English is a young language. It grew from other languages, such as German and French. People began to write it down only six hundred years ago. Now it is spoken by people all over the world. From the last period we know there are 42 countries where the majori
6、ty of people speak English. However English is not exactly the same in different countries , American people speak English , but it is a bit different from British English. Today , we are going to read about these differences. Please turn to Page 12. Read the text fast and find the answers to the qu
7、estions . Do it as fast as possible and write your answers on a piece of paper. I’ll collect the first five pieces.
1. What is American English for “I think”?(I guess)
2. Why did Noah Webster do in order to make American English different from British English?(He changed the spelling of many words
8、.)
Then the teacher checks the answers with the students.
Step III Reading
T: Now read the text again. Read it carefully and discuss the following questions with your partner. Write your answers on a piece of paper.
1. When did America become an independent country?
2. Where did the word “fa
9、ll” first come from?
3. Can you give some examples to show spelling differences between American and British English?
4. Is there any difference in written English in the two countries?
5. What differences are there in spoken English in the two countries?
6. Do you think that people from British
10、 and America can understand each other? Why do you think so?
7. How did the differences between British and American English come about?
8. Which do you prefer , American English or British English? Why?
T: Have you finished? Give u your answers. One student, one question. Volunteers?
S1: In 17
11、76.
S2: From England.
S3: Yes. For example, the words “colour, center and travelled” in British Engish are spelt “color, center and traveled” in American English.
S4: Yes, in written English there are some spelling differences between British English and American English. And in some cases, diffe
12、rent words are used for the same thing.
S5: Some words are pronounced differently in the two countries. For example, Americans say dance[d ns], and in southern England they say [da:ns] . In America they pronounce not [nat], in southern England they say
[n t], and so on.
S6: Yes. Though there are
13、 many spelling differences, people from the two countries don’t have much difficulty in understanding each other because written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America.
S7: There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England traveled to other countries, they to
14、ok the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as the language began to change from one part of the world to another. At last the English language became two variants--- British English and American English.
S8: I prefer American English to British English because America
15、n English is easier to understand./ I prefer British English to American English because British English sound more beautiful.
The teacher explains some words and expressions:
1. come about--- happen, take place
e.g. When John woke up , he was in the hospital, but he didn’t know how that had co
16、me about.
2.the language in America stayed the same…
stay (vi.)---keep, remain
e.g. The door stayed open all the day.
3. end up with---finish with
e.g. The party ended up with the singing of Liu Huan.
4. different from--- different than
e.g. Mary is different from/than/ to Jane.

17、ess---about, not exactly, almost, nearly
