The playwright George Bernard Shaw once said humorously, “England and America are two nations divided by a common language. If he were writing today, he might add ‘divided by a common technology--- e-mail’”.

Two completely different styles of e-mail have formed on either side of the Atlantic-Euromail and Amerimail. Americail is informal and chatty. It’s likely to begin with a “Hi” and end with a “Bye”. The chances of Amerimail containing a smiley face or an “xoxo” are disturbingly high. We Americans are unwilling to dive into the meat of an e-mail. We feel we have to first inform recipients (收信人) about our vacation on the island which was really excellent except the jellyfish were biting and the kids caught a cold, so we had to skip the whale watching trip, then about that investors（投资者）’ meeting in New York. Amerimail is a bundle of contradictions, casual and yet direct, respectful yet over proud. In other words, Amerimail is America.

Euromail is stiff and cold often beginning with a formal “Dear Mr. X” and ending with a simple “Sincerely”. You won’t find any mention of kids or the weather or jellyfish in Euromail. It’s all business. It’s also slow. Your correspondent might take days even weeks to answer a message. Euromail is exactly like the Europeans themselves.

Recently about 100 managers were asked on both sides of the Atlantic whether they noticed differences in e-mail styles. Most said yes. Here are a few of their observations:

“Americans tend to write (e-mail) exactly as they speak.”

“Why don’t you just call me instead of writing five e-mails back and forth?”

“Europeans are less interested in checking e-mail”.

“In general, Americans are much more responsive to e-mail—they respond faster and provide more information.”

So which is better, Euromail or Amerimail? I realized it’s not popular these days to suggest we have anything to learn from Europeans, but I’m fed up with an inbox filled with casual, barely meaningful e-mails from friends and colleagues. If the alternative is a few earnestly written, carefully worded bits of Euromail, then I say, “Bring it on.”

1.What did George Bernard Shaw mean by saying “England and America are two nations divided by a common language”?

A. There is sharp difference between England and America despite their common language.

B. Both England and America speak the common language, so they are much the same.

C. Either England or America is a divided nation, though they share a common language.

D. There is not much difference between British English and American English.

2.Which of the following is most likely to be the “meat” of an Amerimail?

A. The jellyfish were biting.

B. We had an excellent vacation on the island.

C. We were to attend the investors’ meeting in New York.

D. We had to skip the whale watching trip.

3.On receiving an e-mail, Europeans tend to __________.

A. respond to it immediately and earnestly

B. never respond to it all

C. respond by calling up their correspondent

D. take more time than Americans to respond to it

4.What are characteristics of Amerimail?

A. Stiff and cold

B. Casual and indirect

C. Informal and chatty

D. Formal and direct

5.We can conclude from the passage that __________.

A. the different e-mail styles do much harm to the relationship between the two sides on Atlantic

B. the writer doesn’t like either e-mail style as both have their own shortcomings

C. Euromail always impresses the writer as something more pleasant to read

D. Amerimail is more appreciated by the writer for being informative and casually written

Boys are not so good at English when there are girls in their class, a research student said. This finding disagrees with the widely held belief that girls always have a good influence on boys in school.

Boys do best with as few girls as possible in English lessons at primary and secondary schools, Steven Proud, a research student at Bristol University, told the Royal Economic Society’s conference.

But when it comes to math and science, both boys and girls at primary schools achieve up to a tenth of a grade higher when there is a greater percentage of girls in the class, Proud found.

Proud kept a record of boys’ and girls’ test results at the ages of 7, 11, and 16 in 16,000 schools in England. He studied the test scores to see whether the percentage of girls made a difference to the results of both boys and girls in math, science and English.

Boys always perform worse when the number of girls they study English with increases, which is especially the case at primary schools. Proud also found that girls are unaffected by the number of boys in their English class.

Proud said boys may do worse in English when there is high proportion(比例) of girls in their class because they think that the girls are better than them. It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate(适合) to girls when there are more girls than boys in the class.

Proud argues that his results show boys should be taught English in single-sex classes.

However, Professor Alan Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University of Buckingham, said, “Boys may be discouraged by how well girls are doing in English, but you can’t say that it means boys and girls should be separated. It has very little practical importance to schools.”

How to Continue a Conversation in English?

It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. 1.Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. Here are some tips for you to continue a conversation in English.

Listen and follow up

2. Listen to the other person carefully, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to California.”You can follow up with a question using Who, What, Where, When, Why, or How.

● Where did you go in California?

● What was your favorite place there?

● How was the food there?

3.

If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ If the other person asks you a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going. For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie?” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” Or, you could say more. 4.

Be brave and practice often

5.If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. You may make a new friend.

A.Try to ask different questions

B.Avoid simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions

C.Do not worry about your pronunciation.

D.You might not be sure about what to say.

E.First, remember the importance of listening.

F.Sometimes, you get nervous, so your conversation ends quickly

G.You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you?”
