What is the difference between phonetic and alphabetic writing system?
There is no difference: an alphabet is a kind of phonetic writing, in which the signs stand for sounds. Another kind of phonetic writing is called a syllabary. Both are utterly unlike hieroglyphics and ideograms, which may contain phonetic elements. Some alphabetic languages, English and French, for example, may have changed the way words are pronounced while retaining their old spelling, in which case a truly phonetic spelling would differ from the received spelling (see the International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA). But that does not make the alphabet any less a phonetic writing system.

What are the differences between English spelling and English pronunciation?
English is often called an "agglomerative" language, which means it has absorbed words from many different languages. Those words often kept the spelling of their original language, but have come to be pronounced differently (often because English speakers were unaware of the correct pronunciation after a word's introduction). Over time, although the spelling of a word remained the same, subtle changes in pronunciation meant that the written word lost much of its resemblance to the spoken word.Words like "tough" and "rough", for example, have Germanic roots, where the "gh" had a more guttural sound that is no longer heard in spoken English. A more subtle example would be the word "diamond." A very careful English speaker will pronounce all the letters of the word, but the common pronunciation is more like "diemon."An excellent book about how the English language developed is "The Stories of English" by David Crystal.Answer There are also dialectal differences, an example being schedule. British pronunciation is shed-yule, American sked-yule.
