It all started when I saw a little advertisement in a magazine for teens that

read, "Follow your dreams".

I have always dreamt of seeing other parts of the world, meeting people of

different cultures, and communicating in a language that is different from my native

one. It was the influence of my dad that made me decide on learning English. He told - 4 - me that if I learned how to speak English, I would have friends all around the world.

So I decided to study the language.

Learning English was like finding gold! Just by learning the language I could

read books written in English, make friends with people from Brazil, Switzerland,

Italy, USA, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Spain and many more countries. I started

attending meetings abroad. I was getting job offers just because I could speak English.

British English has a long history, but I wanted to speak English like an American

not an Englishman. Speaking with an American accent is more interesting. One of my

teachers told me that the best way to improve my English was to live in a country

where English was spoken. After living in the USA, I came to understand that the best

way to understand its cultures and its people was by living there for a period of

time.

I decided to go the United States to study and to learn how to do business with

Americans. I chose California because to me California accent was easy to understand

and the way of life was casual;the weather in California was warm and I would be next

to the Pacific Ocean. The cost of living here is high, but the spirit in California

is international. It is relaxing and peaceful. It is full of action.

C. The English-speaking countries. D. The ways of learning English.

26. Why does the author want to speak English like an American?

A. American English is more casual. B. American accent is interesting.

C. American cultures are important. D. American people are easygoing.
