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?
