One day during our holiday in England，my friend and I went to the train station to buy the tickets to Dover．As native speakers of English，we did not expect to have problems in England．
“Two tickets to Dover，please．”I said to the ticket seller．
“Single？”the ticket seller asked me．
I thought that she was hard of hearing and I repeated my request a little louder．
“Two tickets to Dover！”I shouted．
At that moment a man saved us．He said that“a single ticket”in Great Britain does not mean“one ticket”，it means“a one-way ticket”．
My experience in England taught me that there are some differences between British and American English．British English，for example，does not use the sound[?r]．That is very common in American English．An English man may ask if you want white coffee or white tea．And an American asks if you want your coffee or tea with milk．We can find some differences such as the British saying“He is in hospital”，but the American saying“He is in the hospital”．
Americans write words like color without the“u”of the English colour．
