programmeWords & expressionsListen to the dialogue. It’s evening. Brian is chatting online with David, a new friend from New York.
David: Hi Brian! How are you doing?
Brian: Good, thanks! We have been asked to
write a report on Asia. I would like to
ask my Chinese friend some questions
about colours in China. Maybe I’ll ring
him up tonight.
David: Ring up? What do you mean? Phones don’t go up when they ring. They can’t
fly!
Brian: “To ring up someone” is the British way
of saying to call someone on the phone.
David: That’s different. There are quite a few
differences between your English and
my English.
Brian: That’s true. Sometimes we describe the
same thing in different ways or use
different words. We say “in a team”， while you say “on a team”. And you use
“washroom” or “bathroom” instead of
“toilet”.
David: You have “autumn” instead of “fall”，
and you spell color “c-o-l-o-u-r”.
Brian: There are also some differences in
pronunciation and even in grammar. I
remember asking my cousin to translate
things for me when I first came to Canada.
“Are we speaking the same language?” I
asked myself.David: Ha ha! Did you know that there is
American English, British English,
Australian English and even African
English? They are different, but they
are all English. By the way, some
Canadians use the word “eh” at the
end of their sentences. It’s pronounced
like the letter “A”. What does it mean?
Brian: It is a friendly way of saying “Do you
understand?” or “Do you agree?”
David: Oh, I see. That’s interesting, eh?Language pointsWe have been asked to write a report on Asia.
我们被要求写一篇关于亚洲的报道。

态，表示“……已经被……”。例如：
The bedroom has been painted by himself.

We have been asked to bring some cleaning
tools to school.我们被要求带一些清扫工具到学校。
on是介词，在该句中的意思是“关于”。例如：
