Voyages of people from England play an important part in spreading the English language.
At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many
countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on
British English, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native
English speakers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually changing in accents,
spellings, expressions and the usage of vocabulary.Because of this fact, you can make use
of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from.
For example,if a boss fluently commands his driver, “Come up straight to my apartment
by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs", instead of requesting, “Please
come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis", you can recognize
his American identity, while the latter suggests that he is British.
