A Foreigner in Britain

• Write about what you’ve learned from the story.

A Foreigner in Britain is a good book specially if you want to get some

information of an English city or village and have a nice and organized trip.

I have learned that even though London is known as a very modern and

cosmopolitan city, it is also very traditional. For example, one of

the most distinctive traditions that we can find is the afternoon tea. At

around four o'clock, everyone in London tends to prepare a good cup of

tea at their homes or goes to a tearoom to enjoy a variety of teas and atmospheres.

On the other hand, London has a great mixture of cultures and its diversity

is what makes it a very special city. People from almost every part of

the world live there and, if eating different types of food is what you like

to do, going to London is the first thing you should do. For instance, Indian

food is especially popular and it is very easy to find  good indian restaurants

around the city. Another example of its diversity is the Caribbean carnival.

This carnival takes place towards the end of August, in an area of London

called Notting Hill, where people of all cultures gather around to dance

Caribbean music, taste different foods, and overall to have a great time.

Lastly, I have also discovered that the townspeople and the Oxford

university students haven’t got on well with each other for more than 600

years because of a fight that began between two drunken students and a

tavern owner that finished with hundreds of students and townspeople deaths.
