American EnglishThis exercise looks at some common “American” words (words which are used in the U.S.A. andCanada).

Generally, “American”words are understood by “British” English speakers (largely as a result of imported televisionprograms and movies), but many North Americans are unfamiliar with some “British” English words.As a result, it is important to use the “American” words rather than the “British” words in the TOEFL.Look at the sentences below, which all contain a “British” English word in bold. Decide what wordNorth Americans would normally use in the same context. In some cases, the word will remain thesame, but there will be a difference in spelling. Write your answers in the crossword grid on page 7.To help you, the word that you need has been put at the end of each sentence, with most of theletters removed, but with some of the letters included.General VocabularyAcross ()2.
