1．There are some differences between American English and British English.Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word "larder"，I didn't know what it meant.Realizing I didn't follow her，she used another word.I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food.The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date.She jotted down the date and time in her diary，while I marked my calendar.If she called me on the phone，she would ring me up.But if the line was busy，she would say the line was engaged.
Most times，I can know what Lily means.Last week，she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces.I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those.Other times，we have to ask each other.She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed.I wondered what had made the lady angry.It turns out that pissed means drunk.
Here is one more example.My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently .She asked the young man if he had a rubber.When she noticed he didn't follow her，she quickly asked for an eraser，which，in England，is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with the British，we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently.And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.

2．If you were to travel back in time to the 10th century，you probably wouldn't be able to understand the sentence that anyone said to you.They'd be speaking Old English.Talking to a 10th-century Englishman，you'd probably only be able to understand a few words like "a" or "the".Only about one-sixth of today's English words have an Old English root，with the rest having foreign influences.
Gradually Old English turned into Middle English that Chaucer wrote in-but still the official language of England was French!It was only in 1362，during Chaucer's lifetime，that English was used at the opening of Parliament （英國議會(huì)）for the first time.During the same year a law called the "Statute of Pleading" was passed，making English the official language in Parliament.In 1399，King Henry IV became the first king of England after the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English.
English was still a language of low status（地位）-especially when it came to writing poetry（詩歌）．During the 14th century，the Italians and French were creative.Great poets like Dante were writing in totally new ways.But England had no such great writer.This was where Chaucer made a difference.He took the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous works，such as The Canterbury Tales.Chaucer proved poetry written in English could be every bit as good as books in French.
Of course，the English language has continued to change since Chaucer's day.For example，Shakespeare's English is quite different from Chaucer's.And it is still changing now.Until just a few years ago， "CU L8 R"（see you later） was just a set of letters and a number，but now most people know what it means!

（2）Why was Chaucer so great？
A．He encouraged people to write in French.
B．He had a big influence on poets like Dante.
C．He was creative in writing English poems.
D．He first used Italian and French to write.

A．To prove English is always changing.
B．To show Shakespeare's English is unusual.
C．To explain how Middle English changed.

Conversation Tips
