Mr. King was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked the rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy. Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small  room , was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

     Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room,” he thought . He called his assistant over and  said , “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room418. I asked too much for their room.”

     The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide(分) five dollars?I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr. King will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

     This caused a problem : Each man had at first paid ten dollars .After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had paid nine. There were three men, $9 x 3 =$27.The assistant kept $2.  $27 +$2 =$29.  Where is the missing dollar?

   Many people go to school for education. They learn language, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and math. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his student everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students everything they want to know. In modern world, the teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

  It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than memorize some facts or a formula. It is quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all successful. They invented so many things for us. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, not wasting a single moment. Above all they knew how to use their brain.

Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?

Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say“in hospital” and “Have you get a pen?” while Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the “r” in words like “bird “and “hurt”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the “r” in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, while “color” and “honor” are American.
