Body Two Countries Divided by a Common Language t first glance, it might seem that the US and the UK have a lot in common: lan almost Introduction 250 years apart, each of the cultures has become unique. Let me tell you about my experience. I am American, and I came to live in England with my family two years ago because my father started working at London University. It was surprising to discover that there are a lot of cultural differences. The first thing I noticed was the language. On one hand they speak the same language; on the other hand, their accents differ and they use different words from us. For example, they don't say elevator, they say lift, a taxi is a cab and French fries are chips (and chips are crisps!). Some people say that British English is more elegant and polite, but they would be surprised to discover that there are many different accents in the UK-people in the North of England sound very different from people in the South, and people from Scotland are almost impossible for me to understand! In the UK, they drive on the left side of the road. It is quite strange for those not used to it , and can be dangerous when crossing the road. Always remember that the traffic comes from the other direction! Another thing is the sports. They call soccer football and it makes much more sense you kick the ball with your foot! They play rugby (I got on the team last week!) and cricket, but that is more boring than anything. And finally, the TV shows are great! They have stuff from all over the world-unlike us who love our American shows the most! Body As you can see, even though both countries share the same language, they are actually quite different.
