This is clear when we compare English in Britain, the United States and Australia.Of the three dialects,

10、British English has the most confusing grammar and spelling rules. This is probably because the development of English has been under the control of the upper class. The modern English language came into being in the 18th century. The upper class who spoke French wanted to show their influence and m

11、ake themselves different from the uneducated working people. In other words, British English reflects the English character with class.The US dialect is generally recognized as the easiest to understand. Compared with British English, its spelling is more connected with its pronunciation. And its gr

12、ammatical rules are much easier to follow. Whats more, its words are simpler to pronounce. For foreigner, its much easier to learn. Thats why American English is more popular in the world.The reason why American English is simpler than British English is connected with its special history. British E

13、nglish was mainly influenced by the upper class. But American upper class didnt exist when American English was born. American English was based on the dialects spoken by working people from different countries. So the formation of American English was based on a rule to help all the working people

14、with different cultural backgrounds communicate more easily.Australian English is different from British and American English. It is the most vulgar (粗俗的) of the three.

18、en called one of the most difficult languages for nonnative speakers to learn. One reason is that English has so many rules. _1_ Sometimes, this leaves learners confused. For example, the order of words in a sentence can be tricky._2_ The pronunciation of English words cannot always be judged by the

19、ir spelling. For example, there are at least six ways to pronounce the group of letters spelled ough. And, maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms, or expressions, in English. _3_So, it is comforting to know that learning root words can help a nonnative speaker use English. _4_ Ro

20、ot words can help you to break down large, new words into smaller units to discover their meanings.Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English. _5_ Then where can a root be found？A root can be any part of a word that carries meaning：the beginning, middle or end. Pref

21、ixes, bases, and suffixes are types of roots. The prefix appears at the beginning of a word, the base in the middle and the suffix at the end.AA root word is the most basic form of a word.BThe English have always been fond of all kinds of rules.CYou could say we use idioms like theyre going out of s
