community open college (5)

Today I had the fifth English lesson
at 'community open college 2010.'

Today's lecture was about the difference
among British English, American English and
Australian English.

Australian English consists of Cockney English,
General Australian English and Aborigine English.

You know how you hear English in Australia.
------------------------------------------
day⇒die, say⇒sigh, he⇒here, me⇒mere
cool⇒coal, boot⇒boat, nine⇒noyn, low⇒laow
------------------------------------------

In Australian English TV is "idiot box.," police station
is "cop shop" and toilet is "thunderbox."

I learned the differences between American English
and British English--differences in pronunciation,
stress, spelling, articles, words and expressions.

I realized that my English is a mix of American English
and British English.

Today koharu had a 運動会.
It was a perfect day for it.
Its slogan was・・・
「燃え上がれ！無限の力で己を超えろ!」

I enjoyed koharu's 運動会 until noon
and then hurried to community open college.

I had a very busy day.
