Unit 7 Foreign languages
English is not a single language which is spoken in one place. There are diffrent types of Englishes out there in the world and we call that as World Englishes.
Can you find some diffrences between American English (which we normally learn and is often considered as a standard English but disputable) and other world Englishes (which are spoken in different countries like HK, Singapore, India, South Africa and so on...).
Example)
cafe - when pronounced /kæˈfiː/ refers to a convenience store not a coffee shop in South Africa.

12 Killed in Batman Shooting in U.S. (21st July, 2012)
A gunman killed 12 people and wounded 59 at a Colorado cinema early Friday morning. Police apprehended the killer and identified him as James Eagan Holmes, 24, a former neuroscience PhD student. He armed himself with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a pistol and fired at random at moviegoers attending the midnight premiere of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises". Holmes had dyed his hair red, just like Batman's nemesis the Joker, and wore full body armour and a gas mask. Many initially thought he was part of a stunt for the movie screening. Cinemas in New York got police protection after the shooting to prevent copycat killings. The premiere in Paris was immediately cancelled.
U.S. President Barack Obama has led the mourning after the massacre, ordering flags to be lowered to half-mast. He said: "There are going to be other days for politics. This, I think, is a day for prayer and reflection." The shooting has once again reignited the debate on gun control in America. All the weapons used in the killings were bought legally in a local gun store. The shooting brings back memories of the 1999 Columbine High School murders, just 25km from the cinema, in which 13 people lost their lives. Tragedies like this are becoming all too common but do little to get tighter gun controls enforced. Gun ownership is a right in the USA. There are an estimated 192 million firearms in the country.

Unit1 Successful Conversations
Hello,
I'll tell you about my trip to Hawaii.
It was my honeymoon trip. I got married in 2011. Actually i wanted to go to Greece for my honeymoon, but the time was not good. We got married in November and it's the rainy season in Greece. So we decided to go to Hawaii where my father strongly suggested.
We stayed in Sheraton Hotel which is located in just middle of the Waikiki beach. The room was great. We could enjoy the ocean view. Hawaii was an amazing place. The weather was sunny and warm and the food was great. It was also a nice place for shopping. There were a lot of malls, shops and stuff like that. On the third day, we went to Maui by plane. It was very beatufil and quiet. We also enjoyed many water sports such as wind surfing, snorkeling, sailing and things. On the last day, we rent a sports car and drove along the beach. It was so nice. We dropped by a shrimp truck restaurant and tasted the famous local food "Truck Shrimp". The trip was so fantastic!
Homework
1. Ask one or two questions about the story.
2. Post one interesting thing about you.
