Dear Boris

    Thanks for your nice letter

    After I had spent a week with my English familyI slowly began to understand

their English a little betterIts very different from what I learned at school!

Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects(方言)are different too! Some of their accents(口音)are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions

   But it's not the language that’s different and surprisingBefore Icame to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every dayThat's quite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical(典型的)English

food.

   I had expected to see“London fog”Do you remember our texts about it? We

had no idea that most of this‘thick fog’disappeared many years ago when people

stopped using coal in their homesBut the idea to speak about weather was very helpfu1The weather in London is really changeable

  On the other hand habits are differentPeople tell me what is typically British

1ere in London is not always typical in Wales or ScotlandLocal habits and traditions

are not the same as what we knew

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditionsProbably Britain has more living, signs of itspast than many other countriesAnd ways been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside

    I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters

                                                         Love from Britain,

                                                                    Pete
