The website, Big Seven Travel, made their list of the worlds 50 most attractive accents, and many different kinds of English made the list.The main reasons that affect the way people speak a language are geographical where they are in the world, and social the way their communities speak. As a result, English has many differences in vocabulary and slang*.Located in two different places, the United States and the UK provide great examples. They often have different words for the same things. US people call the back part of a car, used for carrying big and heavy things or suitcases, the trunk; but in the UK, they call it the boot. In the US, the word boot means a wheel clamp that police put on your car.Slang also causes confusion*. US slang is hugely different thanks to many kinds of people who have moved in the country. African-American slang is especially confusing for foreign language learners. It uses its own grammar. For example, a person who is awake to reality would be called a woke person. Southern American slang also can be confusing. Im fixing to fix it, means, Im getting ready to fix it.Australian slang, meanwhile, is all about abbreviations. They say sanga for sandwich, brekkie for breakfast, and arvo for afternoon. It can make you wonder if either of these countries is actually speaking English.English writer Virginia Woolf once wrote, Language is wine upon the lips*.

But did you know that nature can glow (发光), too?Scientists have found many glowing living things. Most of them live in the ocean. Some use their lights to talk to each other. Others use them to hunt, to mate (交配) or to protect themselves. The vampire squid (幽灵蛸), for example, uses a cloud of light to scare enemies.Scientists around the world are looking at this kind of light for new ideas.

Krichevsky also hopes the technology could be used in farming. Farmers could know when their crops need water or are ready to be picked if they glow.While Gleaux is working on glowing plants, the French company Glowee is trying to use glowing bacteria (细菌) to light up shop windows and street signs. Its the same type of bacteria that cause a type of squid to light up, New Scientist Online reported.Our goal is to change the way we produce and use light, said Glowee founder Sandra Rey.
