My husband and I are Danish(丹麦人). As a matter of fact, many of my ancestors were English:I was born in England and was originally of British nationality. My parents were killed in a car crash when I was a baby, so I was brought up in Denmark by my grandmother and educated in Danish schools so that Danish is really my native language.
We arrived in England last February at five o'clock on a Wednesday morning after a rough crossing. Waves were seemed as high as mountains rocked the boat from side to side. We were both sick on the journey and a fine drizzle(毛毛雨) met us as we got off the boat. To make matter worse, Klaus, my husband, left his camera on the ship; I lost my handbag (which was never been found to this day), and we nearly forgot to tip the taxi-driver, who complained about our luggage and seemed to be in a thoroughly bad temper. Few visitors can have experienced such an unfortunate beginning to their say, and we certainly felt like going straight home again.
We stayed for a week in a hotel, and were then lucky enough to find a furnished(有家具的) flat in the suburbs of London. It is not so convenient as our flat in Copenhagen (哥本哈根), but it is less expensive than some we saw in advertisements. Klaus is studying at the local Technical College and, in addition, he often attends public lectures at the University of London on as many subjects as possible, chiefly to improve his English. He is a qualified en gineer who has been employed for several years in a factory. Our two children have joined us and they are being educated in an English private school. I am working as a part-time nurse in hospital, and I have so much to do that I have almost no leisure time.
