Express your opinion about a perfomance you have attended

To many people, attending a live perfomance, such as a melodrama, a concert or a sporting event is so incredibly attractive that they will go all out to get a ticket, regardless of the expense of the difficultly involved. In a live perfomance, you will feel that you are in the company of many friends, who are indulged in the same interest, who can share your sorrow of pleasure or excitement.

I want to tell you about a perfomance I have attended on the spring holiday. There was an audience of 50 people in Palace for creative pupil. It was a children perfomance.

American and British English

English is spoken in many countries either as the mother tongue or as a second language. There are many variations of the language. I’ll focus on the two mostly commonly used versions of English — British and American English.

I think that the American version of spoken English is becoming more and more dominant for several reasons. Let me give you an example to show why American English has a stronger impact on British English than vice versa.

When you go to the UK and switch on the TV you will see a lot of American shows, movies and films which, of course, are shown in the American version. Thus, especially young people watching TV will learn a lot of American vocabulary and phrases which they easily internalize and use as their own. Thus, modern British English is much more likely to be influenced by American English.

Another area where American English dominates is international business. Most globally operating companies are based in the US and hence the influence of American English terminology is very strong.

As for differences in spelling, British English has a tendency to keep the spelling of many words of French origin whereas Americans try to spell more closely to the way they pronounce words and they remove letters not needed. Here are some examples:

British English	American English
centre	center
theatre	Theater
realise	Realize
catalogue	Catalog
programme	Program
travelled	Traveled
neighbour	neighbor
grey	gray
to practise (verb)	to practice (verb)
practice (noun)	practice (verb)
cheque	check (noun)

There are plenty of examples of words that are different in the American and British English.

E.g.

American English	British English
truck	lorry
fall	autumn
sidewalk	pavement
gasoline	petrol
parking lot	car park
Candy eraser	Sweets rubber

There are some differences in grammar and pronunciation as well. So,American English and British English have some similarities but are very different forms of the English language. The UK speaks a very formal version of the English language and the American version of the language is very informal. The dialects of the two versions of the language are also very different.
