1 Since the beginning of the
summer. Ive just nished an
English course to prepare for my
Prociency exam. My speakings
good, but I have to work hard on
my reading and writing!
2 Yes, of course I do. But some
people have come to visit me.
Actually, my mother is visiting me
right now. Shes been here for two
weeks. I think shes making sure
that Im eating properly!
3 Well, yes, one thing. Its
amazing how important houses
and homes are to British people!
My host family lives in a semi-
detached house with a garden at
the back, and they spend all their
time and money on the house
or the garden. At the weekend,
everyone near here cuts the grass
in their garden. Its incredible!
4 Yes quite a few. The
English I learned in Italy was
mostly American English so
when a guy here asked me one
day if I wanted a lift home,
I was a bit confused! I mean,
I know that lift in British
English is what the Americans
call an elevator but I didnt
know that a lift can also
mean a ride. And the accent
here! Its cool but its the
strangest thing Ive ever
heard, too!
5 I dont know. I havent really
thought about it. Six months?
A year? Maybe if I like it, Ill
never leave! Well, no, thats
another joke I mean, one
day Ill go home to Italy, Im
sure of that. But only after Ive
passed the Prociency exam!
