Language汉语方言分布图ReadingThere is no such thing as “standard English”. What people usually mean by this is grammatical English. However, there are many variants of what is considered standard or grammatical ways of saying things. These variants are called dialects. All countries have dialects and because the USA is so large it has many too. Warm up1. Why are there so many dialects in the US? Because people have come from all over
the world. Geography also plays a part in making dialects. It’s believed to be the English spoken on
TV and the radio.2. What’s the standard English?Read the passage and answer the questions.3. Can you tell an interesting or funny story that shows great difference between dialects in Chinese/English?Example: keys or kiss
One friend of mine was giving an English lesson to a class of adults who had recently come to live in the United States. After placing quite a number of everyday objects on a table he asked various members of the class to give him the ruler, the book, the penand so on. The class went very smoothly, and the students seemed interested and serious about the work that they were engaged in until my friend turned to an Italian and said, “Give me the keys.” The man looked surprised and somewhat at a loss (有点手足无措). Seeing this, my friend thought thatthe student hadn’t heard him clearly, so he repeated, “Give me the keys.” The Italian shrugged (耸肩) his shoulders. Then, he threw his arms around the teacher’s neck and kissed him on both cheeks.In China, there are so many local dialects although the government encourage the whole nation to speak putonghua, which regarded as “standard” Chinese. However, local people also speak their own dialects. Work in pairs. Discuss any Chinese dialects you know of or can speak.1. What is standard English?

thing as standard English.
信不信由你, 世界上没有所谓的标准英语。
believe it or not 信不信由你
e.g. Believe it or not, all the people
present have agreed to the plan.3. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English.
这是因为在早期的电台节目里,人们期望新闻播音员讲极好的英语。这是一个主从复合句。主句是This is, 从句是由because引导的表语从句: those were expected to speak excellent English. 在表语从句中又含有一个由who引导的定语从句,修饰表语从句的主语 those。当一个句子的主语为this, that或it时, 可以用because引导表语从句。如:
That is because he doesn’t like coffee.
那是因为他不喜欢咖啡。
It may be because the exam was too difficult.
那或许是因为考试太难了。4. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.
