Dear Mum and Dad，

    It was a great idea to send me over to Britain to learn English this summer．I’ve  1  so many students from Sweden．France and other countries all over the world．

    The family I live with are very nice．But they have some  2  habits．They drink tea all 3  (at the breakfast，at the afternoon and at the bed time，  4  they eat butter with salt in it! If I go out in the evening，I often eat fish and chips．the  5   is wrapped up(包)in a newspaper．

    Here on the coast，we travel by bus．I was knocked down by an old lady the 6   day because I didn’t stand in the queue；she  7  me over the head her handbag．English people seem very quiet and reserved usually．If we make a noise on the bus they look 8 and uncomfortable．so I was very 9  to see how violent(粗暴的)they became about queues．

    Most English people only talk about the  10  ．They do have a lot to talk about rain，wind and sometimes fog．Also，if you ask them directions，they suddenly become very chatty and go on for hours．

    I’d like to come back here next year to see all my friends again．Oh，yes，and to learn some British English．

                                                               Your loving son，

                                                                        Hans
