In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English

40、. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say all the letters in each word especially the sounds like “t”and “d”. However, the British usually pronounce their consonants （辅音）more carefully. Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the “a”in “half”li
