I like English, but I’m really ___ of ___ grammar.

听力原文：M: British English and American English are really about the same, aren't they？

W: I don't think so. It seems to the that some of the spellings are different. Words like theater and center end in r-e in England instead of in e-r like we spell them. There are more, examples like the word color. In fact, many words which end in o-r in American English are spelled o - u - r in British English.

M: I'm still not convinced. I mean, if someone comes here from England, we can all understand what he's saying. The spelling, doesn't really matter that much.

W: Okay. Are we just talking about spelling？ Arc there some differences in pronunciation and meaning too？

M: Well, in fact I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half of the movie was over before I realized what they were talking about. So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary.

W: And pronunciation, too. You aren't going to tell me that you sound like Richard Burton.

M: Richard Barton isn't English.

W: Okay. Anyway, the pronunciation is different. I think that what we are really disagreeing about is the extent of the difference．We all agree that British English and American English are different，right"

M：Sure．

听力原文：M: Hi. Uh, haven't we met before？ You look so familiar.

W: Yeah. We met on campus last week, Yeah! And you asked me the same question.

M: Oh, oh really？ I'm sorry, but I'm terrible with names. But, but, but ... Let me guess. It's Sherry, right？

W: No, but you got the first letter right.

M: I know, I know. It's on the tip of my tongue. Wait. Uh, Sandy, Susan. Wait, wait. It's Sharon.

W: You got it ... and only on the fourth try.

M: So, well, Sh ..., I mean Sharon. How are you？

W: Not bad. And what was your name？

M: It's Ben, but everyone calls me B.J. And, uh, what do you do, Sh ... Sharon？

W: I'm a graduate student majoring in TESL.

M: Uh, TESL ... What's that？

W: It stands for teaching English as a second language. I want to teach English to non-native speakers overseas.

M: Oh, yeah. I'm pretty good at that English grammar. You know, verbs and adjectives, and uh ... Hey, that sounds really exciting. And do you need some type of specific degree or experience to do that？ I mean could I do something like that？

W: Well, most employers overseas are looking for someone who has at least a Bachelor's degree and one or two years of experience. And what do you do？ Are you a student on campus？

M: Yeah, but, uh ... I guess I'm mulling(仔细考虑)over the idea of going into accounting or international business, but I guess I'm now leaning towards a degree in marketing.

W: Oh, uh, ... Well, I have to run. I have a class in ten minutes.

M: Oh, okay. And, uh, by the way, there's this, uh, dance on campus at the student center tonight, and I was wondering if you'd.., you know.., like to come along.

W: Oh really？ Well, perhaps....

M: Okay, well, bye.
