Can British People Fake An American Accent?
Of course. There are certain languages that make a person more adequate to do other languages accents but yes they can. Take the example of Hugh Laurie. He is the actor that plays Dr. House in the homonym show. He's British. You can also check his British accent in the Stuart Little movies. He plays the father. It's hard but possible.

Why do you use a American English if the the british English first introduce it?
Americans outnumber the British, so there are more Americans in international business. Actually, wordwide, British English is more commonly taught and used than American English. However, American expressions are penetrating all forms of English, not because there are more Americans than Englishmen, but because the Americans dominate the entertainment industry, and their forms of English are constantly heard in films and television programs and song lyrics. These forms of pop culture influence the English spoken by young people everywhere the language is spoken, including England. American and British English differ for three reasons: 1. Deliberate attempts by Americans to distinguish themselves from the English. Earlier in their history, the American felt quite insecure about themselves as compared to the world-dominating Brits. Some of them changed they way they spelled certain words so that they could feel special and different. 2. Natural divergence. Before world-wide communications, when a word was needed, every local area would come up with its own version. When a shorter version of the word "television" was required, the English came up with "telly", whereas the acronym-happy Americans came up with "TV". 3. American conservatism. Americans lag behind the rest of the world in many ways, and one of these ways is in language. Often American English retains a word which has become obsolete everywhere else. Americans tend not to notice this because they tend not to take much notice of what goes on outside their borders. This fact has the dual results of making it less likely that American language will change, and making other people adopt American expressions when talking to Americans, since Americans are unlikely to understand anything foreign.
How many colloquial accents are there in England?
This is a really difficult question to answer for two reasons. The first is that there's a really high number of local accents (to the point that local people whose families have been in the area for tens or hundreds of years might be able to tell a native of the next town by the slight variance in accent that might not be noticeable to other people). The other factor is the high level of national and international migration, which mean that people take on different speech patterns as they are exposed to a range of accents and dialects. For example, when I was growing up the accent at home was a 'standard' home counties English accent, which I still use most of the time, and always use at work when I could be speaking to someone from Scotland one minute and Texas the next, so it is important that my speech is clear and that I can be understood. But at school lots of my friends had a local accent with elongated vowels and where consonants are omitted from the ends of words, which I tend to revert to when I am at home and being lazy! My natural everyday speech is probably a combination of the two so wouldn't fit into either category. What tends to happen now is that migrants retain some of their native accent, but also pick up regional characteristics as well. I have heard an Asian/Glaswegian accent, which was particularly unusual to my ear, and high levels of migration to the Midlands and London create some interesting accents there, as well.
What is the conflict in the story how the garcia girls lost their accents?
The girls are stuck between the transition between the Dominican Republic life they have been raised in and in their opinion the better life they live in the United States. Their parents want them to retain the life that they lead in the Dominican but the girls wish to break free from their heritage. They wish to shed their shells and take part in the activities that Americans take part in. They wish to fit in and be an American but their parents cannot see that as they were in the Dominican Republic their whole life and cannot see that the times have changed and their daughters are growing up and want to be free from their parents and just be American. ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
