A student is learning to speak British English. He____101____: Can I communicate (交流) with Americans? Can they ____102____ me?

The differences ____106____ the spoken language are ____107____. For example, Americans say tomato [te'meiteu], dance[dæns], in southern England they say [te'mɑ:teu],[dɑ:ns].
