If you've been studying for a while, you'll notice that there is more than one type of "English". The website, Big Seven Travel, made their list of the world's 50 most attractive accents, and many different kinds of English made the list.

The main reasons that affect the way people speak a language are geographical – where they are in the world, and social – the way their communities speak. As a result, English has many differences in vocabulary and slang.

Located in two different places, the United States and the UK provide great examples. They often have different words for the same things. US people call the back part of a car, used for carrying big and heavy things or suitcases, the "trunk"; but in the UK, they call it the "boot". In the US, the word "boot" means a wheel clamp that police put on your car.

Slang also causes confusion*. US slang is hugely different thanks to many kinds of people who have moved in the country. African-American slang is especially confusing for foreign language learners. It uses its own grammar. For example, "a person who is awake to reality" would be called "a woke person". Southern American slang also can be confusing. "I'm fixing to fix it," means, "I'm getting ready to fix it."

Australian slang, meanwhile, is all about abbreviations. They say "sanga" for "sandwich", "brekkie" for breakfast, and "arvo" for "afternoon". It can make you wonder if either of these countries is actually speaking English.

English writer Virginia Woolf once wrote, "Language is wine upon the lips*." The next time you're speaking English with someone, check the accent on the bottle!

【題目】

When throwing away rubbish, do you know which bin it should go into? ____Have you ever noticed the differently-colored trash bins on the street?

Some of you might not be able to answer this question.

____然而，知道怎么樣分類你的垃圾實際上是相當重要的。Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment.

If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill (填埋場) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could be used for planting trees. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the land and groundwater.

Other pieces of rubbish, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make into other things if they are properly recycled.

____With this in mind, many cities in China have had waste-sorting activities in recent years. For example. Shanghai announced that within three years, all the people should sort their waste into four groups-wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

"Wet" waste is also known as the household waste. "They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat." Guangzhou Daily explained. And paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused and recyclable will go in the "dry waste" bin.

____有害垃圾包括一些像藥品, 電子廢棄物等等東西。Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the "dry waste" bin.

____Since you know these, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.
