ENGLISH LANGUAGE MAY BE DIFFERENT

                                                     Introduction     

       Knowing  English    language  is  necessary  to  learn a lot   about  the  culture  and  people   of  English speaking  countries  ,  it is  useful   when   you  travel  ,  study    abroad  and  exchange  knowledge. As you  know  English  is the most widespread language on earth , it is an international language of communication , English is also the main language of international conferences , air ports and air traffic control , medicine,  diplomacy and international competitions.    A lot of businessmen, pilots, diplomats, politicians, scientists use English. Great Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand are English-speaking countries. In all these countries people speak the same language. Though they all speak English, it is a little different in each of these countries. For example, people speak American English in the USA and British English in Great Britain. Different words often name the same things. That is why we chose our theme to research.

And the object of our work is to compare American English and British English: words, word combinations.

In England…

… people live in flats and use lifts, they go somewhere by underground, by coach or by tram. When the English go by car, they must have driving license. Their cars won’t move if they aren’t filled with some petrol at the filling station. If someone is ill, he or she goes to the chemist’s to buy some medicine. At tea-time, at 5 o’clock, people drink tea with milk. Many of them like sweets and biscuits.

Children go to school in autumn, they all like to get excellent marks. Each pupil has a rubber in his schoolbag and follows school timetable. Some of the children are fond of playing football. We often can see boys wearing waistcoats and trousers. People like to go to the cinemas. When you fill in the form at the airport you put your name and surname in it. Many people have hobbies, some of them are growing roses in the garden. Just all people are looking forward to going on their holidays to somewhere.

In the USA…

… people live in apartments and use elevators, they go somewhere by subway, by bus or by streetcar. When people go by car, they must have driver’s license. Their cars won’t move if they aren’t filled with some gas at the gas station. If someone gets sick, he or she goes to the drugstore to buy some medicine. Many of the people like candies and cookies.

Children go to school in the fall, they all like to get excellent grades. Each pupil has an eraser in his schoolbag and follows school schedule. Some of the children are fond of playing soccer. We often can see boys wearing vests and pants. People like to go to the movie theatres. When you fill in the form at the airport you put your name and last name in it. Many people have hobbies, some of them are growing roses in the yard. Just all people are looking forward to going on their vacations to somewhere.

 There are a lots of words that in the British and American versions which are written  differently. Here are some of them:

- «color» (Amer.)  «colour» (Brit.)

- «meter» (Amer.) «metre» (Brit.)

-«practise» (Amer.) «practiсe» (Brit.)
-«organization» (Amer.)  «organisation» (Brit.)
-«traveled» (Amer.) «travelled (Brit.) 
-«kilogram»  (Amer.)  «kilogramme» (Brit.)
- etc.

 In the book "Dictionary of the English Language" by Noah Webster, he noted that:

In the American English they often write:
-or instead of -our

-er instead of -re
-se instead of -ce
-z- instead of -s-
-l- instead of -ll-
-me,-ue at the end of words isn't.

Conclusion: The Americans have simplified variant of the language  , making it easier.

In the American version the form of the future tense "shall" is seldom used, itis replaced by"will" or "gonna" (going to).

  In the American language   the words "slowly" and "really are not used - they are replaced by "real" and "slow".  Many British English irregular verbs in the American version are correct (for example: burn - burned, dream - dreamed). “From irregular verbs only  problems”: - so think  Americans                                             

Phonetics

Between American English and British English, there are differences in the pronunciation of some words and whole sentences.
1. Stress in words. Some of the words British and Americans pronounce with the accent on different syllables, for example “address” (Brit.) and “address” (Amer).

2. Sounds in words. There are words in which American and British pronunciation is different . Americans do not "swallow" the sound [r], as the English, so it seems more rough, roa

                                              CONCLUSION

So, in conclusion we found out , that there are differences between American English and British English. And I think our task is to study English hard. Only then we can understand English speaking people.
