In Joans e-mail, she requested Mary to look for a flat in London for her. As she had limited amount of money at her command, the flat had to be relatively cheap, but it had to be modern, with public facilities such as elevators, gas lines available. It had to be in the eastern part of London, with petrol and subway stations nearby. It didnt need to be large but about 100 square meters. Though Mary clearly knew it was almost impossible, she still went from one block to another, looking for a flat that would meet Joans requirements. Having tried too many times in vain, Mary went up to her boss and politely asked him for advice. It so happened that the boss just had such a flat for rent, so they quickly reached an agreement. But to her disappointment, when she e-mailed Joan, telling her the good news, Joan said that she was not returning and she had decided to continue to study in the university for her PhD. What do you think of the two friends? If you were Mary, what would you do? If you were Joan, what should you do? Whats wrong with Joan? Think about it and give your answer.

If someone asks who do say only one language, the answer must be Americans. But the language differs from area to area in USA, for most of Americans have strong accent but less dialect. You can recognize Americans and know he is southeastern (one speaks a bit slow but clearly)or northeastern (one speaks quickly) by their accents. You also can tell them from Englishmen by the words and phrases which they use. Take the followings as an example, if you hear an English-speaking person says “would you like to my flat for diner tonight?”, but not says: “would you like to my department?” he may be an English but not American.In the modern time the USA play a most important part in the international affairs and many people regard American English as the standard English.
