Do you see a robin (知更鸟)? Robins are common birds that live in Asia, Europe and Africa. They are small, about 14 centimeters long, with the weight of about 20 grams. They have dark heads and red chests.
A good place to see robins is your own backyard. Robins don’t seem to mind being around people. You may also see robins on lawns (草坪) in parks. They like eating worms and bugs best.
Early in spring, robins build their nests in trees. Some robins can live up to 12 years. These birds may build 20 or even 30 nests in their lifetime! The nests are made of grass, sticks and mud. The mud puts everything together.
The mother robin lays one egg for three or four days. She sits on them to keep them warm. The eggs are blue. After the babies hatch (孵化), both the mother and the father feed them.
Most robins stay at one place through the four seasons. But some of them will fly to southern countries in winter.

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 the only difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary (词汇) for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions (表达) 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 are also some differences in grammar (语法). 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.
