The people who speak English today make up the largest speech commu
15、nity in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England. Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally, the language had enough uniformity to be used by all speakers in England. The peo

Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood, a village, or a city. More often they form a
17、 whole country. National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.

35、 can choose classes from a wide range of options. Many students finish the compulsory courses in three years so that they can have one year without any classes. They often use this period of time to study abroad, conduct research and travel. Many students even suspend their study for additional stud
36、y-abroad opportunities. Japanese universities encourage students to choose their own ways of study, so it is quite easy for us to apply for study suspension. Japanese students participate in various kinds of extracurricular activities. They attend clubs from elementary schools, so many have already
37、been accustomed to clubs when they enter university. Our university now has 42 art clubs and 45 sports clubs. The annual University Festival is the grandest carnival of Japanese universities.

40、nd snacks. Another kind of party is the Nomikai, which mainly involves alcohol. We drink something called chu-hai, which is a combination of soda and wine. We also drink Japanese sake and beer.

They have a beginning, a middle, and an end - with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every
45、couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.“ “Drink Goodn Wet Root Beer.“ “Fill up with Pacific Gas.“ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now! “ The beginning of
46、the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed - new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularl
47、y reckless or dating, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the tight or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always mak
48、es bus tides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, o
49、f course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the ann rests - even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the tight time.
