What are the speakers mainly talking about? [br]
Listen to the conversation.
Then read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer according to what you hear.
M: British English and American English are really about the same, aren’t they?
W: I don’t think so. It seems to me that some of the spellings are different. Words like “theater” and “center” end in r-e in England instead of in e-r like we spell them. There are more examples, like the word “color”. In fact, many words that end in o-r in American English are spelled o-u-r in British English.
M: I’m still not convinced. I mean, if someone comes here from England, we can all understand what he’s saying. The spelling doesn’t really matter that much.
W: Okay. Are we just talking about spelling? Are there any differences in pronunciation and meaning too?
M: Well, in fact I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half of the movie was over before I realized what they were talking about. So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary.
W: And pronunciation, too. You aren’t going to tell me that you sound like Richard Burton.
M: Richard Burton’s English.
W: Okay. Anyway, the pronunciation is different. I think what we’re really disagreeing about is the extent of the difference. We all agree that British English and American English are a little different, right?
M: Sure.
选项
