17. We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn ma ny things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surpr ising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers the m and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they h ear, remember and speak two languages every day. At school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and the y are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

18. American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each wordseparately. They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno”_____(代替)“I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary(词汇) for cars and driving is very different. A mericans drive trucks(卡车), but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions（短语） are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In Americ a, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also some differences in grammar(语法). For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you h ave a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”
Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has hap pened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the Fre nch of France.
