With a half smile,she asked,“Really? Do they live in the same room?”
“Oh,no.They live in different rooms but in the same building.” I reacted quickly.
Later I got to know the word “dormitory”.In AE it means one building while it means one room in British English (BE).
The New Zealander misunderstood me because she spoke New Zealander English(NE),which,as we know,is much related to BE.
Nowadays,not a few English learners,who try to catch up with the fashion,choose to speak AE.
Yet,the problem is that they cannot speak pure AE,but half AE and half BE instead.
I think it necessary to keep one style in order to avoid misunderstanding.
13.Which of the following is RIGHT?
A.AE and BE are two different languages.
B.There are some differences between AE and BE.

D.New Zealanders cannot understand Americans.
14.What I said to the New Zealander is

B.really pure BE
C.half AE and half BE D.not English at all
15.According to the passage,
.
