Voyages of people from England play an important part in spreading the English language. A
t present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many countrie
s, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on British E
nglish, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native English spe
akers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually changing in accents, spellings, e
xpressions and the usage of vocabulary.Because of this fact, you can make use of the diffe
rences 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 t
ake some petrol for my lorries and taxis", you can recognize his American identity, while
the latter suggests that he is British.
