British English and American English are two variations of the English language that share many
similarities, but also some notable differences in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
The pronunciation of American English is one of the biggest differences. One of the most
noticeable differences is the pronunciation of R. The British tend to pronounce R in the middle and
end of words very softly, but Americans like to stress it. Spelling is another difference. Americans
often spell many verbs ending with a -t sound by using -ed as in burnt (BE) and burned (AE). In both
of these cases, the -t is pronounced. British prefer to spell -ise with a S but American prefer to spell it
as it is pronounced with a Z.
There are even differences in vocabulary. Americans use the word “pants” for “trousers” and
“apartment” for the word “flat”.
Grammar is another area of difference. The British are more likely to use formal speech, such as
“shall”, while Americans prefer the more informal version, “will”. You may hear the British say
“needn’t” but Americans would almost always use “don’t need to”. In spite of these differences, the
vast majority of language points are the same in both variations.
31. What is the main idea of the reading passage?
A. British and American English are identical in all aspects.
B. British and American English have key differences but many similarities.
C. There are different ways to pronounce British and American English.
