Today, I'm posting an interview with Beyonce on CNN. It's great 'cause she speaks American English, and the host, British English. You'll able to notice the main differences. She is talking about her career, her family, her new album and her latest perfomance in London. Very nice!

I visited the Empire States, Rockfeleer Plaza, Central Park, American History Natural of America, Intrepid Air Sea Museum, Lion King. I went to Philladelphia to watch Real Madrid Team Soccer (Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka played) and see the statue of Rock Ballboa.
I knew people from the rest of the world. I met people from France and Turkey, and I had classes, eighteen hours per week with an American teacher. My classmates were from Japan, Chine, Mexico, Venezuelan, Saudi Arabia
