Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that
your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your
attention to a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may
not buy alcohol(酒) in this country if you are under l8 years
of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means,
but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to
respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The
traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian
crossings(人行横道) and do not take any chances when crossing
the road.
My next point is about litter(throwing away
waste material in a public place). It is an offence(违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have
something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put
it in a litter bin.
Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the
law to buy cigarettes or tobacco(烟草) if you are
under l6 years of age.
I'd like to finish by saying that if you
require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local
police station, who will be pleased to help you.
