2、ith her skin, so she went to her doctor. However he could not find anything wrong with her. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests directly to Mrs. Blacks doctor. The next morning, he telephoned her to give her a list of the things
3、 that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.

7、n fact, there are some important differences between British and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say all the letters in each word. For example, Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I dont know”, or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What do yo
8、u say?” Sound is not the only difference between British and American English. The two languages have different words and expressions for some things. For example, some words for clothing are different. Americans use the word “sweater”, but the British say “jumper”. Americans wear “vests” over their
9、 shirts, but British people wear “vests” under their shirts. Americans talk about “pants” or “slacks”, but the British talk about “trousers”. The British chips are American French fries. A British chemist is an American drugstore. In Britain, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”
10、. In America, you “give them a call”. There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans almost always use the helping verb “do” with the verb “have”. They might say, “Do you have an extra pen?” The British often ask the question a different way. They might say, “Have you got an extr
11、a pen?” These differences can be confusing when you are learning English. But when the same language is used in different places, it is understandable that it changes in each place.

Dieter: So this one Ive got here is a half? Nick: Yes, thats a half of bitter. Bitters the name for that type of beer. Dieter: A
15、h, thats what he saidbitter! Well, its very different from the beer we drink in Germany, I must say. Nick: Yes, I know. They call the German type of beer lager. So you have to ask for a half of lager, or a pint of lager. Dieter: OK. I understand that now. My another problem was chips. I asked for a
