Life & English: “British English and American English”
Được xuất bản vào Sun, 01/12/2013 - 00:43
I am surprised when I learn about the differences between British English and American English. There are many differences in vocabulary. For example, the word “subway” that American people call is “underground” in British English. “Apartment” in American English is called “flat” by British people. There are many examples like: truck (A.E) - lorry (B.E); gum (A.E) - glue (B.E); vacation (A.E) - holiday (B.E); ….
The differences are in spelling, too. For instance, the words “center, color, burned, dialog” were spelled “centre, colour, burnt, dialogue”.

When I listen to an American person, I think it is clearer than a British person. At school, we learn American English more than British English. But everybody knows British English is tighter than American English.
The things I tell are parts of the differences between American English and British English. However, they are all speak a same language: English.
