Module 4 Which English 单元小结Nowadays, a huge number of people in the world speak English as their first or second language. Furthermore, its also widely used by the media. As a result, varieties of English appear. Which is superior? Its hard to answer. When people speak English mixed with their own dialects, can you tell them apart? Experts are convinced that it doesnt matter which English is better, as long as speakers can understand each other its communication that counts. Some English is instantly recognisable and explicit, and some English may be vague. So, there is a debate about which variety of English is the best. But, at last, no answer has been acquired.目前,世界上有大量的人把英语作为母语或第二语言。而且,它也被新闻媒体广泛地使用。结果,各种不同的英语出现了。哪种英语是更好的?这很难回答。当人们混合着方言说英语时,你能区分开它们吗?专家们确信哪种英语好并不重要,只要说话的人彼此明白就行重要的是交流本身。有些英语立即能识别出,而且易于理解;有些英语可能是不明确的。因此有一场哪种英语是最好的英语的辩论。但是,最后却没有得到什么结果。加餐练(一)完形阅读组合练.完形填空Before 1066, in the place that we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups.
