Jack: No, most American students don't wear school uniforms. Most students at my school wear pants and T-shirts.

Phong: What do you mean by 'pants', Jack?

Jack: Ah, I mean trousers. In American English, 'pants' mean 'trousers'.

Phong: I see.

Teacher: Yeah, there are some differences in vocabulary between American English and British English. Are there any more questions?

Mi: Yes. I want to know about the students in your school. Are all of you American? And do all of you speak English?
