Dear Linda,

　　I have been in England three months now. I hope you don't think I've forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I've not had much time for writing letters.

　　I shall soon be starting my studies at King's College. So far I've been learning about England and British ways of living. I won't tell you about London. There are plenty of books you can read and plenty of pictures you can look at. I'm sure you'll be more interested to know what I think about the life here.

　　I find some of the customs (风俗) new and interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise (抬起) their hats to women but not to each other.

Your's

Dear Sir,

　　I read your story (of the 5th May) about the cost of living in the country, and I agree with what you said. I lived in a seaside town two years ago. When my husband stopped working, we moved to a small village.

　　I have to do my shopping in small shops, and things are more expensive than in city supermarkets. It also costs more to travel by bus.

　　But it does not cost us much to enjoy the beauty and quiet in the country. We can enjoy them just by going out of the front door. Though it costs more to live here, we are having an enjoyable life now.

Yours faithfully,

Helen Smith
