English songs can also help! Listen to English songs and write down the words. You can enjoy singing along with the music. It can make you confident!

Many people are learning English. However, British English and American English are different in some ways. Let’s take a look.
Americans use “-er” instead of “-re”, such as meter and center. They do not have “u” in “-our”, like color instead of colour.
2 Read the passage and tick the main idea.
The British and Americans use different words for food, clothing, and other things. For example, the British take a cab, but Americans take a taxi.
