like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between (1) _________ English
and _________ English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don"t say each word separately. They say
several 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 in their speech.
They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
(2)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes
have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true
of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different.
Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions 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"re also some differences in grammar. 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?"
All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But 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. (3)但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样.
