　　Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?

　　Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?”, while Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the “r” in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the “r” in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honor” are British, while “color” and “honor” are American.

　　These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.

It’s important for us to eat our meal at regular(規(guī)律的) time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat.
