[00:20.53]Good day, mate!I'm Richard from Australia. [00:23.48]You must be the new Chinese student. [00:26.36]Yes, I am.My name's Liang Weimin. [00:29.49]I hope you don't mind me asking [00:31.57]but you don't sound English. [00:33.19]What's your native language? [00:35.63]Richard's native language [00:36.98]is English but because he comes from Australia, [00:40.66]he has a different English accent. [00:43.09]I'm from America [00:44.17]so I have an American Engish accent. [00:47.63]By the way, I'm Pam. [00:49.57]Nice to meet you,Pam and Richard. [00:52.12]I thought that every native speaker [00:54.10]spoke English like [00:55.33]the BBC World Service reporters! [00:58.39]Well I do. [00:59.89]I'm Robert and I'm from England. [01:02.71]People have different English accents depending [01:04.95]on where they come from. [01:06.80]For example, British people say "water" [01:09.73]and "tomato" but Americans say "water" [01:12.96]and "tomato"! [01:13.82]
