Working out
American and British English
People use different expressions for the same things in American English and British English. For example, the space around the outside of a house is called a “garden” in British English but a “yard” in American English. In British English they talk about the “front” or “back” of a house, while in American English they say “out back” or “out front”. Finally, sometimes the same words can be used differently, for example, the “ground floor” in British English is called the “first floor” in American English.

My family and I went on a holiday last year to visit some distant relatives I had never met before. They lived in a flat in New York in the city centre. It was exciting to visit them and they were very friendly and welcoming! They took us sightseeing and we went on the underground as it is the fastest way to get around.
