The first question is: How many countries and regions are there in the world?S1: About two hundred.T: How many languages are there in the world?S2: Its hard to say. I learned from a magazine that there were more than three thousand.S3: Perhaps more than five thousand, I remember.T: It was thought that there were more than three thousand before.

Read the text on this page and have a discussion with your partner . Discuss the questions in the text: What is it that Joe cant find in the bathroom? Why cant he find it?S5: It is the toilet.T: Why?S6: Perhaps when Joe says “bathroom” , he means a place, where there is a toilet. But in Nancys eyes, it is a place where people can only have a bath. Am I right?T: Yes, you are right. As we know, Joe is an American, so he speaks American English. While Nancy is English, he speaks British English. Thats to say, there are some slight differences between British English and American English . Well discuss this further in the fourth period.
