The new Londoners

A) I was born in India and then lived in many different parts of England. I moved to London fourteen years ago and I feel more at home in London than in any other place. What I like about London is that it is a multicultural place. The fact that I am from another country doesn’t mean that I have to forget my own culture. Ethnic festivals, markets, centers are as much part of London as Big Ben and the Tower of London.

 

B) I came to London from Australia to study. London is great! It has got everything: nice shopping centers, convenient eating-places, beautiful and elegant architecture. But above all, I like the people there, who are ready to help.

 

C) I moved to London from Canada ten years ago because I got a job at one of the London universities. I love this city because I enjoy the theatre, cinema, concerts, not to mention restaurants with food all over the world. It’s a pity that people move in and out of the city a lot. You make new friends all the time, but also “lose” friends all the time as well.

 

D) I am a businessman from Poland. My favorite thing about London is that museums (not all but most of them) are free, so you can see one work of art if you like and you don’t have to pay for expensive tickets.

 

E) I am Greek and I’m a travel agent. My offi ce is far from the place where I live, so what I most dislike about London is that the underground does not operate during the night. This means that when I am coming back late from my work, I have to take a bus, so it takes a lot of time to get home. I can’t move to another fl at because of the high cost of living.
