A world full of Englishes

Why do we have a language? To talk and write to each other.But what do we talk and write about?This is where culture comes in.

Language enable us to say who we are and how we live. It's natural, therefore, to find English-teaching courses telling us about local shops, national events, and famous places. While studying points of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, learns take in a great deal of cultural information. If the course focuses on British English, the settings may be such places as Oxford Street and the Tower of London.If American English, they migth be Broadway and Times Square.

Today English is found in countries all over the world, and everywhere we see the language changing as people use it to talk about their local situation.The most noticeable change is the new vocabulary they use when they want to talk in English about plants and animals, food and drink, customs and pratcices, and other features of everyday life. A visitor can sometimes find it difficult to understand what's being said,especially when the conversation turns to politics,folklore, city streets ,or TV personalities. Local people unconsciously use names, words and expressions that reflect their culture, which outsiders have to learn if they want to participate.
