Good day, mate!I'm Richard from Australia. You must be the new Chinese student. Yes, I am.My name's Liang Weimin.I hope you don't mind me asking but you don't sound English. What's your native language? Richard's native languageis English but because he comes from Australia, he has a different English accent. I'm from America so I have an American Engish accent. By the way, I'm Pam. Nice to meet you,Pam and Richard. I thought that every native speaker spoke English like the BBC World Service reporters! Well I do. I'm Robert and I'm from England. People have different English accents depending on where they come from. For example, British people say "water" and "tomato" but Americans say "water" and "tomato"!
