Англоговорящие страны
Диана: Привет, Хелен! Сто лет тебя не видела! Как у тебя дела?
Хелен: Хорошо, спасибо, а у тебя? Прошло много времени, как я видела тебя в последний раз.
Диана: Да, много прошло времени. В последний раз я тебя видела в библиотеке. Ты готовилась к докладу по своему любимому предмету — английскому, конечно.
Хелен: Да. Но почему ты смеёшься? Я считаю, что английский самый популярный язык в настоящее время. На английском говорят люди по всему миру. В России и во Франции, в Германии и в Италии, В Испании и в Египте учат английский как иностранный язык.
Диана: Я знаю. Кстати, говорят, что английский стал международным языком в двадцатом веке.

Диана: А в каких странах английский национальный язык?
Хелен: В Великобритании, США, Канаде, Австралии и в Новой Зеландии. Это англоговорящие страны.
Диана: И во всех этих странах люди говорят на одном и том же языке, не так ли?
Хелен: Мой ответ — и да, и нет. Хотя они все говорят на английском, есть небольшое различие в этих странах.
Диана: Не может быть! Я никогда не знала, что американцы и англичане говорят на разных языках.
Хелен: Нет, не на разных. В обеих странах говорят на английском, но в США говорят на американском английском, а в Великобритании говорят на британском английском. Часто одну и ту же вещь обозначают разные слова.
Диана: Что ты имеешь в виду?
Хелен: Я имею в виду, что flat обозначает квартиру в Англии, а apartment в США. В США говорят cookies и candies, а в Британии biscuits и sweets, имея в виду одно и то же. Осень в Америке называют fall, а в Англии autumn.
