“Englishes” in the World

Section 1
　Have you ever heard/of “World Englishes”?// This term refers to the many varieties of English/around the world.// A linguist created this term,/dividing the varieties/into three groups.//
　The first group consists of the varieties of English/spoken in the UK,/the US,/Canada,/Australia,/and New Zealand.// Many people in these countries/speak English/as their first language.//
　However,/words,/spellings,/and pronunciation/are sometimes different/depending on the country.// For example,/“school cafeteria” in the US/becomes “canteen” in the UK.//
　Even in one country,/people in different regions/speak differently.// Thus,/English spoken by native speakers/has many local varieties/among the countries/and inside each country.//
