You didnt even realize that I was angry and sad. Whats more, you even forgot my birthday this year. Goodbye, my friend. I have closed my feeling toward you. It is sad to say goodbye, my friend. But it is meaningless for us to be friends any longer. LucyDear Lucy, Im sorry that I hurt you so much yesterday. But here is something I really need to tell you. I never thought the quarrel we had yesterday was as serious as you thought. I just felt tired and didnt feel like going shopping. Susan and Lily are also my good friends. I couldnt pretend (假装) not seeing them when they passed by. I also couldnt let them know I was blue because of the quarrel. I didnt want them to feel sad just because I was sad. Im your best friend,but I dont want to be your only friend. I dont want to be with you all the time because sometimes I need to have my own time.

In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I dont 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 themseparate.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 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”.There are also some differences in grammar. For example, when Americans ask a question., they say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often say “Have you a storybook?”All these differences can be confusing if you are learningEnglish. 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 but their French is very different from the French of France.5. Compared to the British, Americans are usually _. A. more careful about saying wordsB. less careful about saying words C. easier to understandD. slower speakers6.Some letters in English _.
