阅读下面短文，在空白处写出各单词的正确形式，单词的第一个字母已给出。

British English and American English are a little different. The two are the s 52 in grammar but different in the way they pronounce and spell some words. Americans pronounce words like car, better and sweater with an /er/ at the e 53 while British say these words with an /e/. The British way of spelling “color” is “colour” and they write “favorite” a 54 “favourite”.
English is the most spoken l 55 in the world because of the British Empire. Its colonies (殖民地)
o 56 covered 25 percent of the planet. In some parts of the US, people really like the British accent (口音). The British actor Hugh Grant, with his British accent, was very s 57 in Hollywood. His accent is very popular, and Americans often think British accents s 58 very elegant (优雅的). Maybe this has something to do with the Queen.
Don’t w 59 about the difference between British and American English. When you have exams, it is fine to use the English that you learned f 60 your textbooks. The differences are not so important.
