Hi, Samantha, welcome to the show, and welcome to England!Samantha: Thanks!Interviewer: Where are you from?Samantha: Im from Albany, in New York State.Interviewer: When did you arrive in the UK?Samantha: Two months ago, in September, at the beginning of the school term.Interviewer: How did you get to hear about the exchange?Samantha: I saw an _advertisement_ in my school magazine back in the states.Interviewer: Where are you attending school now?Samantha: In Leeds, in Yorkshire.Interviewer: And how are you getting on?Samantha: Im getting on just fine, now that I understand the local accent.Interviewer: So, it was difficult at first?Samantha: Yes, because I didnt get what people were saying for a couple of days. I think that was the biggest problem I had when I arrived.Interviewer: But then you got used to it?Samantha: Yes and now it seems quite normal . In fact, in some ways the accent here, in the north of England, reminds me of American English.Interviewer: How do you mean?Samantha: Well, like they say bath instead of bath, or Do you want to dance instead of dance, like they do in other parts of Britain.Interviewer: Whats been the most positive thing about the exchange so far?Samantha: Definitely the people, especially the other students in my class. Theyre really friendly.Interviewer: Is there anything else you like about living in Britain?Samantha: Lots of things, like the music scene in Leeds, for instance. I like Leeds because theres more going on here than back home in the states. The school has a creative music laboratory, which is really interesting.Interviewer: Ive got a question to ask you, Samantha, about the future of English. Do you think in the future everyone will speak American EnglishSamantha: No, why should they? Since English is spoken all over the world, I guess its only natural that there are lots of varieties.Interviewer: So do you think youll go home speaking with a north of England accent?Samantha: Oh no, I didnt mean that!Interviewer: Well now Id like to turn to our other guest, another exchange student, thats eighteen-year-old Callum Nightingale. Callum, you recently returned from the US. How long were you there?Callum: Ten months altogether.Interviewer: And where were you?Callum: I was in a fertile agricultural region, in a fairly small town in Mississippi.Interviewer: Thats quite a long way south, isnt it?Callum: Yes, it is.Interviewer: What was the most difficult problem you had?Callum: I reckon(认为) it was the climate; it was hot and humid for a lot of the time.Interviewer: How did you get on with American English?Callum: Well, I didnt really have any problems with the accent. It was easy to understand, they speak rather slowly.Interviewer: But did they understand you?Callum: Thats a good point. I think they did. As I was the only British person in the school they made a fuss of me. The girls all said my accent was cute.Interviewer: What was the best moment of your stay?Callum: I think it was the prom, thats the school dance at the end of the year.Interviewer: I want to ask you a couple of questions about American English. Did you find that a lot of words are different?Callum: Yes, especially at school they have grades, we have years, then the names of subjects are a bit different, like civics, which basically means law and government. And some sports are different football means American football, not soccer I actually played in the soccer team. Then the American word for maths is math, without the s that seems like a very small detail. But the first time I heard it, it sounded strange . but you get used to it. When I came home my mum said I had picked up an American accent, but its worn off now I think.Interviewer: Callum, do you think that in the future everybody will speak an American variety of English?Callum: Maybe yes. I think the British will speak American English because they hear it every day now, on TV, in films and so on.Interviewer: And are you happy about that?Callum: I dont know. I suppose I dont mind, really. Everything changes sooner or laterTaskII Finish Everyday English on page7.
