3B) Jenny and John has two different ways trying to change the world. John wants to change the world through the force of example, while Jenny wants to change it through a protest. I think protest is the most effective way but it can also lead to violence, but as Jenny said: ‘’The most important changes in American history had been achieved by people making a lot of noise’’. Like the fight for women’s right and the civil rights movements.

English is more than just global English 

There are many varies of English in the world today, English is not just English as a world language. English can be different dialects from all over the world. The most known English is American English, British English and Australian English. However, in this entry, I am going to write a little bit about; Singapore English, Hinglish that is Indian English and Franglais, which is French English.

Singapore English

The standard Singapore English is the standard form of English used in Singapore. Moreover, it is often used in work or when communicating with people of higher authority. The Singaporean accent has different influences. The American influence, some grammar rules are derived from American English. American pronunciation of certain words also tend to be more prevalent in Singapore. Malay, Indian and Chinese is mainly influenced by British English and American English.

Hinglish

The Hinglish, the Hinglish is a dialect from the Indian English. They are changing up things in the sentences. The Hinglish is a code-switching language. Here are some examples:- Airdash = Going somewhere in a hurry- Stadium = A bald man with a fringe of hair- Glassy = Wanting a drink- Timepass = A distraction to pass the time

Hinglish is also the way English is pronounced by people speaking Hindi.

Franglais

Examples of Hinglish:

- Juo = you

- pphunny = funny

- pphor = for

- iskool = school

Franglais

Franglais or Frenglish is a mix of French and English. In English, Franglais means a mangled combination of English and French, produced either by poor knowledge of one or the other language. Franglais usually consists of filling in gaps in one’s knowledge of French with English words. Examples of Franglais: 

- Longtemps, pas voir = Long time, no see

- Je ne care pas = I don't care.

- Je suis tired = I am tired

Here is a clip from a movie named Pink Panter, and its about a French person trying to learn American English accent.
