Here we are on the streets of London
It’s an international city full of
people from all over the world so let’s
go meet some of them. Hi Millie, nice to
meet you. Nice to—now whereabouts are you
from? East Grinstead in West Sussex
probably about 50 minutes south of
London. And what’s it like there? I guess
it’s kind of a countryside town, so a lot
different than London—um, quite green and
nice. I like it. So what do you like the
most about it? Um, I think you go down the
High Street and everyone kind of tends
to know one another, and it’s kind of
homely. You feel safe there and
everyone’s friendly. Hello, what’s your
name? Hi, I’m Paul. Hi Paul, nice to meet
you. And whereabouts do you come from? I
come from London just down the river
here. What is it like? The best way I can
answer that is tell you what I’m going
to do today. I’m going to go and, uh, meet
a friend, have a coffee. Then we’re going
to go and see a play at the Globe
Theater. And then afterwards, there’ll be
plenty of places open, so we’ll find
somewhere for a late supper. What is it
you like most about London? I think there
are so many things that go on in the
city—so many different people and types
of people who live here. It’s just
exciting and wonderful. Hello, what’s your
name? Hello, my name is Marisa. Marisa, nice
to meet you. Where are you from? I’m from
Holland. What’s Holland like? Holland is a
small country, very flat, with beaches.
What do you like about Holland? Um, I like
uh, the place where I live. It’s a little
town near the beach, and I like the sun
and the qui—quiet. It’s really quiet. My
name is Katie. Hello, nice to meet you. And
where are you from? I’m from Canada.
Canada? Wow! What is it like there? It’s
really cold there. What do you like about
it? I like how big it
is. So now you’ve met some of the people
in London. See you next
time.
