很多学生都想知道美国英语(American English)和英国英语(British English)之间的差别,以及这些差别是怎样产生的。请根据下面提供的材料，写一篇文章。
1. 这不是一下子就能回答的问题。
2. 起初，美国和英国的语言是相同的。1776年，美国独立，语言也开始有了变化。
3. 很长时间，美国的英语保持原样，而英国的英语却变化了。如：300年前，英国人用“fall”表示秋天，而今天大部分英国人都用“autumn”这个词了。但美国人还在用“fall”这个词。同样，美国人用“I guess”（意思是I think），而这正是300年前英国的说法。
4. 当然，这些都不是英语语言变化的终结。英国英语和美国英语在未来是否会继续变化，这一问题是很容易回答的。可以肯定的是，尽管两者之间有一些差异，它们的变化过程都将会继续。
注意：1.分段表达 2. 书写整洁 3.字数150左右。

答案

      AMERICAN ENGLISH AND BRITISH ENGLISH
Many students want to know about the differences between American English and British English. How did these differences come about? There is no quick answer to this question. At first the language in Britain and America was the same. In 1776 America became an independent country. After that, the language slowly began to change.
For a long time the language in America stayed the same, while the language in England changed. For example, 300 years ago the English talked about "fall". Today, most British people talk about "autumn", but Americans still talk about "fall". In the same way Americans still use the expression "I guess" (meaning "I think"), just as the British did 300 years ago.
Of course, these are not the end of the changes in the English language. The question of whether British English and American English will keep on changing in the future is easy to answer. It is certain that this process will continue despite the distinctions between them.
