       People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries.And in the past 300 years,there were so many changes in both places that now people can easily   21      an English person from an American in the  way he or she talks.

       Many old words   22      in England but were kept in America.For example,300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they   23     either a“faucet”,“spigot”,or a“tap”.All these words are still heard in different parts of America,but only “tap”is still common in England.Americans often make up new words or change old ones.“Corn”is one kind of plant in America and another in England.

       Also,over the last three centuries the English language has   24      thousands of new words for things that weren’t   25      before.And often,American and English people used two different  names for them.A tin can is called“tin”for short in English,but a “can”in America.The word “radio”is  26     all over the world,including America.But many English people call it a “wireless”.And almost anything   27      something to do with cars,railroads,etc.has different   28      in British and American English.

       But now American and British English may be   29      closer together.One thing is that British people can hear a large amount of American speech daily in   30     ,on television,or from travelers.Because of this,Americans seem to be influencing the British more and more.So some day,English may even be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.
