Every year in Bath,England,there is a special festival.People dress up in period clothes (晚禮服) and have concerts and balls.They are celebrating the Jane Austen Festival.
   Jane Austen is an English writer Born in Steventon,England,1775,Austen was mostly educated at home,where she learned how to play the piano,draw and write creatively.She read a lot and later came to enjoy social events such as parties,dances and balls.She disliked the busy life of towns and preferred the country life,where she took to taking long walks.
   At the age of 14,Jane wrote her first novel,Love and Friendship,and then A History of England.In 1801,Jane,her parents and sister moved to Bath.Four years later,her father passed away and the family soon became poor.Austen and her family moved several times until finally settling into a small house in Chawton.It was in this house that she wrote most of her works.
   Early in 1816,Austen began to feel unwell.She ignored it at first and continued to work.But in March of 1817,her illness became so serious that she had to stop writing.She died in July of the same year,leaving an uncompleted novel called The Watscons.
   Austen was famous for her humorous words and clever ideas.Most of her novels are about women in 18th century England.At that time,if a woman wanted to have a happy life,she had to marry a rich man.But Austen said that a woman should marry for love,not for money or social status.So her characters were often strong women.Pride and Prejudice is the most famous novel by Austen.It tells of a romantic story between a young woman Elizabeth and a tall,rich,and handsome man,Mr Darcy.It has been changed into films,televisions and musicals.

  • 3."Colour" and "color", "favourite" and "favorite", "honour" and "honor"...Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u"?Is it because they are lazy?
       Of course not.In fact,the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758-1843).He was a teacher who reformed 'English to make American identity stronger.Linguists celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.
       After the Revolutionary War(1775 - 1783),Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary,rather than rely on British dictionaries.
       He dropped the British "u" in some words.And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded.He used "subway" instead of British word "underground".Some other examples are "soccer" and "football", "fall" and "autumn".
       Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opjye.aiions.In defining" preposterous (unreasonable),he wrote: "A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.
       Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828.He also added local words.
       His dictionary was widely used in schools.Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity" and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.
       "He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity," said Joshua Kendall,who is working on a book about Webster. "He at last brought us together through our language.
