　　American and British people speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English．

　　Pour water into a sieve．竹篮打水一场空。

　　First of all, they sound very different．Often, Americans don’t say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say “dunno” instead of “I don’t know”．However, the British are more careful on their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．

　　Also, some letters have different sounds．For example, the Americans say the “a” in “half” like the “a” in “cat”．But the British say the “a” in “half” like the “o” in “soft”．

　　Sound is not the only difference between British English　and American English．Words sometimes 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 different．Americans drive trucks, but in England they drive lorries．

　　Many expressions are also different in the two countries．In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”．In America you “give them a call”．

　　For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question．they say “Do you have any class today?” But the British often leave out the helping verb．They say “Have you class today?”

　　All these differences can be confusing 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 way．This is what happened to English．It can also happen to other languages, such as French．Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．

Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.
Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”
“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”
So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”
“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”
Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party. 6.30 to 8.30 p.m.”
“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8.30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party. 6.30 p.m.”
A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8.30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained.”
Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.
