people from the two countries don' t have much difficulty in

pronounce not ;in southern England they say , and so on .

5. The word " fall " first came from England

6. The expression " way of life " came from America ,

7. There is no quick answer to this question , When people

from England travelled to other countries , they took the English

language with them . At first, the language stayed the same as the

language used in England , but slowly the language began to change

from one part of the world to another , At last the English language

became two variants --------- British English and American English.

Step VII . Sum up :

Toda , we' ve learned Lesson Ten . American English (1) ,

We' ve learned the differences between America English and British

English . Their differences Lie in three : one is in written English

. e.g. Br.E colour, centre, travelled while AmE, color , center

, traveled ; one is in spoken English , e.g. Br.E. dance

[da:ns] . not [nt] Ame dance not .; the

third is in words and expressions . Br. E movie , gas , store ,

mail , right away . I guess while Am. E , film , petrol , shop ,

post , at once . I think . The cause of making these differences is

that people travelled from one part to another.
