Today we watched an EnglishCentral video. It was about two men in a lift in Scotland. When they got in the lift, they couldn't find any buttons. It turned out that it was a voice-activated lift. Unfortunately, it was made in the U.S. by Americans and made to recognize American accents. They kept saying, "Eleven", but the left couldn't understand them. They got frustrated and angry but the lift kept telling them to be calm. They tried to get out but the lift didn't understand their instruction to open the doors.
Accents of English are quite interesting. If you get the chance, please try listening to Scottish or Irish accents.
