From the table, we may discover that the secondary school in the United States also includes middle school or junior high school, which is a two or three year transitional school between elementary school and high school. ? Apart from differences in ways of naming school years, the definitions of a public school are also different in the two countries. In the US, it is governmentowned, and supported by taxpayers while in the UK, it refers to illdefined private independent schools which are funded by students’ fees. What is more, those schools supported by government are called state school in the UK. Idiosyncratic differences Some equivalent idioms have the same meaning but show differences in appearance between BrE and AmE.

From our study we have learnt the exact differences between AmE and BrE, and as a second language speaker of English, more people prefer AmE than BrE. ? What?s more, as a English major student, learning the differences between AmE and BrE is very important to us. After learning this, we can speak a more native English language gradually. Thank you
