They can run after each other, catch and eat some small animals, like rabbits and deer.The Northeast Tiger are different from the ordinary tigers. For example, the Northeast Tigers can swim very well, but can’t climb the trees.

In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.Here are some things students often do.No –garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school.No –car day. On a no- car day, nobody comes to school in a car- not the students and not the teachers. cars give pollution to our air, so remember: walk, jump, bike, or run! Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!Turn off the water! Did you know that toilets（抽水马桶）can waste twenty to forty tons（吨）of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In the environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.We love our environment. Let’s work together to make it clean.56.

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 word separately. They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno”instead of “I don’t know”. Or theymay 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. Americans 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 America, 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 have 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 happened 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 French of France.61.
