English has developed different varieties in different parts of the world.There is not (1) ONLY American, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English, but also Indian English, Singaporean English, and so on. These languages have their own (2) pronunciation and spelling. They have their own (3) words/vocabulary a ‘pavement’ in Britain is a ‘sidewalk’ in North America a ‘footpath’ in Australia. In fact, one reason (4) for the richness of English is its a to borrow (5) new words from other languages and cultures that it has come into contact with. Have you ever wondered (6) why English often has more than one word to refer the same thing? Well, it's because new words were (7) added to English as a result of contact with other cultures and languages. Many words (8) that/which we consider to be English originally came from other languages, for example, ‘passport’ from French, ‘mosquito' Spanish, and ‘sauna’ from Finnish. You (9) may/might/probably think ‘hamburger’, ‘ketchup’, and ‘coffee' would come from American English, right? No, ‘hamburger’ is from German, ‘ketchup’ is Malay ‘coffee* is Turkish, believe it or not. Some words you (10) probably knew the origin of 'karate' is a Japanese word, for example, ‘violin’ comes from Italian, and ‘tea’ originally comes from Chr but what about the word ‘cruise’? That actually comes from Dutch.
