Welcome! This blog is where i'll be writing my responses to topical issues about the English Language.
The first topic we've explored is 'Americanisms'. We had an enrolment challenge where we had to find out what language some "British" words originated from and then they were added to the English dictionary. We also had to listen to a radio programme about American words and make notes about the criticisms and positive thoughts about Americanisms.
For our first assignment, we had to write our own opinion whether Americanism should be accepted in Britain or not, and this is what my next post is about so you should watch out for that.
See you on my next post!
