Our Russian friend*s letter
who had been in Britain
Dear classmates,
I've been in London three months now.
You asked me to write about my life here.
I found some customs new and interesting.
People here don’t shake hands as much as we do in Europe.
Men raise their hats to women but not to each other.
Sunday is a very quiet day in London.
All the shops are closed and so are the theatres and cinemas.
There are very few outdoor cafes here.
That’s because the weather changes so often and so quickly, I suppose.
What a lot of foreigners there are in London. English people don’t talk as much as
we do but everybody here is very kind to me. I must stop.
Please write and tell me how you are.
