内容：
British and American English are different in many ways. The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary.
There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic，or which are used with a different meaning. Some of these words are well known—Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas；the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol. As a tourist，you will need to use the underground in London or the subway in Now York by taxi（British） or cab（American）.

答辩答案：
1. 我的业余爱好是运动，准确地说是练瑜伽。我认为这个爱好有助于身体和心理的双重放松。练习瑜伽可以减少多余脂肪，保持健美的体形，同时还能够舒缓疲劳。瑜伽操还能够调节情绪，驱赶烦躁，锻炼意志，提高自信。
2. 我在生活中确实遇到过一些困难，虽然这些困难不是很大。我仍然记得我第一次离开家去求学时感觉很孤独，而且不知道如何与那么多陌生人相处。但是我发现当我真正地去主动和他人交流并且在日常生活中善于帮助别人的时候，我交到了一些真心的朋友。从那以后我再也没有感到孤独。
