In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont

34、 say all the letters in each word especially the sounds like “t”and “d”. However, the British usually pronounce their consonants （辅音）more carefully. Also, some letters have different sounds.

35、 “o”in “soft”. The “r”is sometimes said differently, too. When an American says “farmer”, you can usually hear the “r”. But you cant hear the “r”in British English. The British say “fahmah”. Sound is not the only difference. The two languages have different words for some things, for example, the wo

36、rds for clothing are different. Americans use the word“sweater”, but the British say“jumper”. Many expressions（短语）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”. There are also some differences in gra

37、mmar. These differences can be confusing （令人疑惑）if you are learning English. But there is a reason for the difference. Languages change over time. When the same language is used in different places, it changes differently in each place. This is what happened to English. It also happened to other lang
