The English language we know today is about six hundred years old. For half that time, English was just language of the people living in England. The modem English language grew from about the year 1400. Now English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is one of the working languages at International meetings, business, science and in other fields. The differences between American English and British English are not very great. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example, centre, licence, colour and travelled are spelt center, license, color and traveled in American English. In America, "cock, rubber, ill, holiday, lorry and post" are called "rooster, eraser, sick, vacation, truck, mail". But people from the two countries can still understand each other easily. There are only a very small number of differences in grammar between American English and British English. Some words may have two kinds of pronunciation. You may wonder "Which is correct?" The answer is that it doesn"t matter. But you should speak either American English or British English. Don"t try to speak both at the same time! | |||

The new book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is warmly welcomed by the children in China. It sells well across China. You can see and hear the advertisements about the book here and there. Why is the book so attractive to children? After reading it, I was attracted by the magic world. I can not help asking: where is our own Harry Potter? China has a long history and colorful culture. With a large market of teenagers, China published (出版) many popular books among children. However, why are the present books not as good as those foreign ones? Firstly, quite a number of children"s books are focused on teaching, and they have little interest value.
