Nicolae from Romania works in a pub in Manchester:
“British people like children but not in restaurants and pubs. In my
pub we have a rule: “No children under 12”. People in Britain drink
a lot of coffee – cappuccino and espresso are really popular. They
drink a lot of beer too – both men and women”.
Alexandra from Russia is a student at Bristol university:
“This is not a good country for smokers! Many coffee bars and
restaurants are “no-smoking”. I live with three British students and
they don’t smoke. When I want a cigarette, I go into the garden”.
Carlos is a tourist from Spain:
People read newspapers everywhere – on the train, on the bus, at
the bus stop. And the newspapers are really big! Cars stop in
Britain when you stand on the zebra crossing – it’s incredible! Cars
don’t stop for you in Madrid”.
Marilia from Brazil works as a housekeeper in in a
British family Cambridge:
“I think my family is typical. The woman doesn’t cook – she just
puts a pizza in the microwave. But she watches cooking programs
on TV every day! The man cooks at the weekend – he makes
fantastic Indian curry! Their child has a terrible diet. She eats fast
food and goes to Burger King every week”.
