Writing
根据下列提纲写一段话，比较美国英语和英国英语之间的不同（大约80个单词）。
1．拼写方面不同。例如英国人把“颜色”一词拼为“colour”，美国人拼为“color”。
2．发音方面不同。例如英国人把“dance”读作/da:ns/，美国人读作/dæns/。
3．词汇方面不同。例如“秋天”一词，英国人说“autumn”，美国人说“fall”。
4．语法方面虽有不同，但区别不大。
　ONE POSSIBLE VERSION:
　There are three main differences between American English and British English. They’re different in spelling. For example, the British people spell “颜色” “colour”, but Americans spell it “color”. They’re different in pronunciation. For example, “dance” is pronounced [da:ns] in English, but [dens] in English. They’re also different in words. “秋天”，for example, the British people say “autumn”, but Americans say “fall”. Though they are different in grammar too, there are not so many differences between them.
