Jayce began notice when he started his schooling that he looked different from his classmates. They had two arms. He had one.

It started when one boy laughed at him, said his mother, Lewis. He’d return to his home with questions: “Why am I _______? Why me? His mother still remembered he was actually sad and angry with that.

Lewis said she didn’t know what to do at that point. A few weeks later, Lewis turned on the TV to a news story about an eighth grader, Trashaun, becoming popular after sharing videos of his slam dunks(灌篮) on the Internet, and, like Jayce, he _______ most of his left arm. Lewis called Jayce in. To her surprise, Jayce immediately got interested in the videos. At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun was _______ an encouraging moment for Jayce — he saw a role model with a similar _______. If it had stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy enough. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build Jayce’s confidence.

The boys met and at once got on well with each other as both of them were in the same condition. They rode bikes, took photos, and shot basketball on the court. Instead of spending the whole day feeling _______ for themselves, they had a lot of fun. Sometimes, they talked about the problem — the lost left arm. Trashaun told Jayce not to let anyone discourage him and not to let those words shake his _________.

Since that meeting, Lewis has seen a noticeable change in her son. As for Trashaun, his relationship with Jayce made him expect to help more kids. “Honestly, it _______ a lot to know that I changed Jayce’s life”, Trashaun says. Still, he never dreamed that his _______ would make such a great difference in others “life”. I just thought my friends would see them, and be like, “Oh, he dunked it!”

He certainly did.

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.

First of all, they sound very different often. Americans don’t say each word separately. They say 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. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.

Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”

There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook”? But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”

Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
