こんにちは

湘南藤沢オーパ校です。

今日はRodney先生にブログを書いてもらいました。

ついつい、私も皆さんと同じ質問をしていました。

Students often ask me about some differences between American, English and British English. British and American vocabulary is often quite different. However, Canada shares similar vocabulary with both America and England. This is because Canada is located so close to America and Canada was once a British Colony. Here are some vocabulary examples

Canada	American	British
Bus depot	Bus station	Coach station
Elevator	Elevator	Lift
Gas	Gas	Petrol
Main floor	First floor	Ground floor
To phone/to call	To call	To phone
Vacation	Vacation	Holiday
University	College	University

皆さんが使う英語は、どの国の英語に一番近いですか？

昔Scotlandに住んでいたHiroki先生は、なぜかAmerica英語を一番使っているそうですよ。

では、See you next time.
