I am sorry to hear that you are worried about the variety of English you have been learning.

    Firstly, the differences between British and American English may surprise those{#blank#}1{#/blank#}have learned English for years.There{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) almost no differences in grammar and only a few differences in vocabulary.British and American people have no difficulty{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(understand) each other.They watch films and televisions from each other's countries for{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(please).

    Secondly, there isn't only one British{#blank#}5{#/blank#}American English.For example,all major cities in the UK have{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) own dialects with different accents from each other.Sometimes these accents can be{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hard) to understand for even a British person than some Americans.Also,there are Englishes from many other countries.People who speak these Englishes usually also manage{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(communicate) with other English speakers without any problems.

    All learners need to be able to understand English spoken and written by as many people as possible and they need to be able to speak English so that as many people as possible can understand them.You should concentrate on this goal,not on{#blank#}9{#/blank#}to speak “British” or “American” English.

    I hope this is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(help).

    A toy animal might not matter much to the average person, but for a child, it could mean the world. When 10-year-old Leon Ashworth's mom couldn't afford {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(buy) him a toy panda he badly wanted, he wrote a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(pity)note on the toy's box begging{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(shopper) not to buy it until his mom could. What happened next {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be)so heartwarming, it would melt you.

    The boy, Leon Ashworth {#blank#}5{#/blank#}lives in Liverpool, England with his mom, first saw his beloved 'Panda' at an Asda supermarket, the British equivalent of Wal-Mart. Though he was willing to wait with{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(patient) until his mom {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pay) on June 15th to take the lovely panda home, the store's staff decided to do something extremely thoughtful after they noticed Leon's scribbled letter. They decided to buy it for him.

    In search {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the young author, whom they didn't know at the time, they posted the note on Facebook and eventually attracted the attention of Debbie Ashworth, who{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (immediate) recognized her son's handwriting. The Asda crew invited the mom and her son back to the store, and had a wonderful surprise waiting for them. “This is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}best day of my life.” Leon remarked to his mom.

    Once when Kevin was selling hats under a big tree, the monkeys in the tree picked some hats and put {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (they) on. Kevin took off his own hat and threw it onto the ground. The stupid monkeys also threw their hats! Kevin collected all the hats and left{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (happy).

    Fifty years later, young Tony, grandson of Kevin, also sold hats for a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live). After a long walk, Tony was tired, so he put his bag of hats beside him and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lie) down under a big tree. He soon fell asleep.

    When he woke up, Tony found that there weren't any hats{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leave) in his bag! Tony looked up and found some monkeys in the tree wearing his hats.

    Tony didn't know {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to do. Then he remembered the story of his grandfather "Yes! I can make these foolish monkeys {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （return） all my hats," said Tony.

    Tony then waved, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} did the monkeys. Tony started dancing, and the monkeys were dancing, too. Tony threw his hat on the ground…

    Just then, one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (monkey) jumped down from the tree, picked up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} hat and said to Tony, "Do you think only you had a grandfather?"

......I sat down on one of those chairs {#blank#}1{#/blank#} holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.

"You {#blank#}2{#/blank#} buy things we don't need," I remarked suddenly. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} saying it almost at once……
