A student is learning to speak British English. He wants to know:
Can I 31 with Americans? Can they understand me? The 32 of English often ask: What are the
difference 33 British English and 34 English? How important are these
differences?
Certainly, there
are some differences between British and American English. There are 35
differences in grammar(语法). 36 , speakers of British English
say “Have you a pen?”, 37 Americans say: “ 38 ?” Pronunciation(发音) is 39 different. Americans usually sound the r’s
in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Some speakers of English do not sound the r’s
in these words. There are differences between British English and American
English in 40 and vocabulary(词汇). For example, “colour” and “honour”
are British, 41 “color” and “ 42 ” are American.
These differences in grammar, 43 , spelling and
vocabulary are not 44 , however. For the most
part, British and American are 45 language.
