Winter

   The winter season is full of beautiful scenes. It brings cold days and beautiful snowy landscapes.It often snows. We can see and catch snowflakes falling from the sky. The weather is cold and frosty. The air is fresh. The ground is covered with deep snowdrifts. Lakes and rivers are frozen. Trees and bushes are covered with the silver scarf. You can see birds which have flown from other places. The winter landscape blows the happy and the sad mood at the same time. It is one of the most beautiful seasons.

How do you like our winter in Ukraine?

The Englishes

 
Do people speak the same language or different languages? – Well, there are the term “The Englishes” What does it mean? British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English… , Cockney, Teenglish… 

British English is the form of the English language used in the United Kingdom. The Oxford English Dictionary says that it is a language spoken or written in the British Isles, usual in Great Britain. The synonyms are Queen’s English or Standard English.
American English is a set of dialects of the English language used mostly in the United States. Nearly  two-thirds of the world's native speakers of English live in the United States and speak American English. It is different from British English in pronunciation, intonation, spelling, vocabulary and sometimes in grammar.
 Canadian English is the variety of English spoken in Canada. Canadian English contains elements of British English and American English in its vocabulary but has a lot of its own words. In many areas there are important local variations.
Australian English is a main variety of the English language and is used all over Australia. English has no official status in the Constitution, but Australian English is Australia is “de facto” an official language and is the first language of the greater part of the population.

  Do we understand all of these kinds? What does it mean «I'm an Englishman in New York»?

A teacher of English –
This is my job,
My dream and my hobby.
I think I can’t stop
Creating the lessons,
The games and just fun
For my dear learners
Who always may come
To me for advice,
Some help or to chat.
