2801．Some people don't know whether to learn American English or British English．Here is my answer to it．
It's really，really hard to pick up a native-sounding accent if you learn English as an adult．Children pick up accents very quickly，but adults don't．Even after speaking English every day for twenty or thirty years，you'll probably keep a bit of a foreign accent．I've met many English learners who've lived abroad for several years in an English-speaking country．For the most part，I can't tell what country they've lived in unless they tell me．
Since it's so hard to learn an accent，you probably shouldn't spend a lot of time trying to guide yours to one accent or the other．There are better ways to use your time，like learning new vocabulary or phrases．
Even if you are able to get an American or British accent，it won't make much difference．That's because English speakers are used to hearing different accents．Americans hear British accents on TV and movies．And we all hear accents from other countries：Russian accents，Korean accents，F(xiàn)rench accents，and so on．Usually，British people like the way that Americans sound，and Americans like the way that British people sound．So you're OK either way．
So just pick whatever language is most convenient for you．If you have friends or teachers from America，you should probably learn American English．If you have British friends or coworkers，maybe it's better to learn British English．
It's probably easiest to stick with（保持） just one kind．However，there's nothing wrong with mixing a bit of British and American English together．It won't hurt you!

Mr Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate.Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs，he kept the secret close to his chest，only telling his late wife.Henry's granddaughter，Marlisa，told reporters how he used tricks，like waiting for others to order at restaurants first，to avoid the issue.
A family argument in his 90s，she said，aroused his desire for education."He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live，" Marlisa said.Starting with his name，he eventually moved on to the ABC's and children's books.He put them down since his wife fell ill.After the tragic loss of his wife，he went back to reading and began to log（記錄）his life.He wrote about his family's voyage from Portugal to the US，how he went on to captain a boat，and his many journeys at sea.
His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the book's release.One thousand more have since been printed as requests for the book flood in from as far as Germany.And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr Henry about buying the rights to his life story for a big screen adaptation.
The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition.Meanwhile，the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry's late-life efforts."Everyone has a story，" Marlisa said，"It teaches that when you're down and out，never give up."

Founded in 2014，POYT offers educational chances and positive（正面的）role models for teenage girls growing up in Harlem.These "Power Girls" take part in dance，summer camp，and STEAM education（Science，Technology，Engineering，Arts，and Mathematics），among other programs.The purpose，according to the group，is to empower teenage girls to help them "dream big and to inspire（激勵）them to achieve the most that they are capable of."
POYT held its sixth yearly Empowerment Event in the fall of 2019 in New York City.The theme of "Girl Boss" inspired girls to show their inner boss spirit.Miss Teen USA Kaliegh Garris was the keynote speaker.
Kaliegh said that she and other beauty competition winners are helping to reshape traditional images of beauty and showing that women of color are not just beautiful — they also are driven，wise women whom little girls can look up to.
I asked Ashley McFarlin Buie，POYT co-director，what inspired founder and CEO Felicia Gibson to start the organization.Gibson saw the plight that girls of color are in.For some historical reasons，many girls of color are growing up in terrible neighborhoods.They seldom see people like themselves showed positively in movies，books，TV shows，and other media.
"Powerful girls grow up to be dependable and confident women，preparing for their futures as creative leaders，" Buie said.POYT centers on saving the mind，body，and spirit of Black girls through love and support，she added.
