As native speakers of English，we did not expect to have language problems in England.“Two tickets to
12、 Dover，please ， ” I said to the ticket seller.“Single？ ” the ticket seller asked me.I thought that she was hard of hearing and I repeated my request a little louder.“Two tickets to Dover！” I shouted.Fortunately，a British man saved us at that moment. He explained that “a single ticket” in Great Brita
13、in does not mean “one ticket”；it means “a oneway ticket”My experience in England taught me that while British and American English are quite similar， there are also some noticeable differences between them.Perhaps the most obvious difference between the two dialects is in pronunciation.

17、rammar does not change as early as pronunciation or vocabulary. We do find some differences such as the British saying He is in hospital. while the Americans insisting on the article He is in the hospital. In addition，the British often begin a question with have.An Englishman may ask you Have you go
18、t a cigarette? while an American is more likely to ask Do you have a cigarette?British spelling differs slightly from American spelling. Americans write words like honor and color without the “u” of the English honour and colour. Americans write “er” in words like center and theater but the British
19、write “re” as in centre and theatre.Americans prefer an “s” in words like defense and offense while the British spell these words with a “c”，defence and offence. Americans use the letter “z” in words such as organize and organization；the British use “s” as in organise and organisation.The United Sta
