These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.In the past of months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.“Solar Flare activity is going to be much worse than what w e’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power. It could be half of the country, maybe more.” SolarStormWarning. com, a US website about spaceweather, warned.Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.22.

They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too．Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America.____27____Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries._____28_____In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”.

Languages change over time.
