There are some differences between British English and American English. In grammar, for example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?”. Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. For example, when a learner speaks British pronunciation[da:ns] (dance), he may not understand the American pronunciation[dæns]. There are differences between British English and American English in spelling. For example, “travelled” and “honour” are British spelling, “traveled” and “honor” are American spelling. However, in most situations(情况), British English and American English are not different languages.

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used a lot in everyday’s life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be fewer books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交际). Others do not think that computers will replace(代替) our old ways.
Let’s take books for example. Some people think that one day we won’t read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers.
