Dear Boris,
Thanks for your nice letter.
You asked me how I was getting on with my English. Well, after I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better. It’s very different from what I learned at school! Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects are different too! Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions. I noticed that they love to talk about languages and especially about the different accents in different parts of Britain.
But it’s not only the language that’s different and surprising. Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were what most Englishmen ate every day. That’s quite wrong!
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 homes. But the advice to speak about the weather was very helpful. The weather in London is changeable indeed. Besides, people like talking about it.
On the other hand there are habits which are different. People tell me that what is typically British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. Local habits and traditions vary a lot here – very different from what we know in Russia.
But what is common for all the countries of Britain is that they follow traditions. Probably, Britain has more living symbols of its past than many other countries. The royal family is something out of a fairy tale. The capitals, big cities and countryside boast many ancient buildings, castles and cathedrals. Every year there are historical ceremonies, for example, the State Opening of Parliament, the Lord Mayor’s Show or the meeting of the Knights of the Garter at Windsor each St. George’s Day. These events are a true representation of the past.
I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.
Love from Britain,
Pete
