　　A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate(交流) with Americans? Can they understand me? 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?”. Americans say “in the hospital”and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird”and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour”are British, “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.

　　Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film may take many weeks. Shooting (拍摄) the film often takes at least six months. Actors and camera men work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just fine. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.
　　The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, and forests are all built of wood and cardboard. Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are the actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.
