The English spoken in Australia, Great Britain and America has a surprising number of differences. Here are some of the common differences that you will find between these three kinds of English.
Pronunciation among the three types of English can be different. In American English, the “r” at the end of a word almost always affects its pronunciation, while in Australian and British English, the “r” is often silent. Australian English is unique due to the fact that many words have sounds that are gone. Instead of saying “good day”， Australian speakers say “g’ day”. The main pronunciation difference between the three, however, is the pronunciation of the vowel(元音) sounds.
Not only do the three types of English sound different, but they are also spelled differently. In some ways, the spelling shows the difference in pronunciation. For
- 2 -
example, Americans use the word airplane. In Great Britain, the word is aeroplane, and it is pronounced with an “o” sound. Another example is the word aluminium, which is the UK spelling, and aluminum is the US spelling. Can you find the difference? In this example, the Australian spelling is the same as the UK spelling.
Another common spelling difference between British English and American English is the use of our or or at the end of a word. For example, in the UK, colour, flavour, honour are words that all end with our. In America, they are spelled with or endings.
In Australia, the our spelling is almost universal.
Also, the endings re and er are different between different English dialects. In America, you will go to the theater or fitness center, while in Britain you will visit the theatre or fitness centre. Again, Australian English follows the British way.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚英语、英式英语和美式英语的一些不同点。

My name is Lwazi Nzimande.I started my schooling at Thukeyana Primary Farm School in Underberg, KwaZuluNatal.
I had a favourite teacher in primary school.Her name was Miss Dube.She taught me natural science and human and social sciences in grade six and seven, and had a way of pushing learners to be able to think for themselves.She made sure that each and every learner took part in every lesson.She used pictures, diagrams(图表) and other things to make learning easier and more unforgettable, moving at a pace that was suitable for all students.As a teacher, she showed patience, respect, openmindedness, and reliability(可靠性)．Now you see why she was my favourite teacher in primary school, don’t you?
In my opinion, patience, respect, openmindedness, and reliability are some of the things that all teachers should have and show.A patient teacher is one who understands that some learners need more explanation than others to understand something in class.He or she should always be willing to help learners.An openminded teacher will go beyond what is found in the textbook.A teacher who is respected will find it easy to control a class.Respect is earned through what a teacher says to learners or how he or she deals with them in general.
Miss Dube often told us not to badmouth or make fun of others. She also did so.She
- 4 -
never badmouthed other teachers in front of us. Also, Miss Dube never made fun of her learners. She thought making fun of learners in front of others would hurt them and damage their confidence.
Miss Dube was also very honest. From my point of view, that’s also what a good teacher should be like. If she didn’t have an answer to a question, she would let her learners know. This set a good example to the learners.

6．What does the author think an openminded teacher should do? A．Pay close attention to every student’s improvement. B．Tell about something outside the textbook. C．Avoid believing everything in the textbook. D．Show great respect for her students.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的An openminded teacher will go beyond what is found in the textbook.可知， 一位思想开明的老师不会仅仅局限于课本， 会讲一些课外的知识。
7．What can we learn about Miss Dube from Paragraph 4? A．She liked praising her students. B．She was very confident in class. C．She got along well with other teachers. D．She set a good example to her students.
