    One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend，Rick．Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor．When he arrived，Simon went straight to the first floor of the building．But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor．Do you know why?

    In fact．the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor．The floor above the ground floor is the first floor，which Americans would call the second floor．

    The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America，though the British and Americans both speak English．

    The British usually hide their feelings．They seldom start a conversation with strangers．For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books．But Americans are quite different．They’re more active and easier to talk with.

    The British and Americans may use different terms for many things．The British usually use football，eraser and mail while Americans prefer to use soccer，rubber and post．

Dear Pingping,

How are you getting on these days? I don’t want to trouble you because I can imagine how busy you are! But I really need your help.

My friend Elena has a problem. She found she couldn’t read the numbers on the bus to school yesterday. We are going to have an eye test in school next week. She wants me to go first and tell her the letters on the chart. She doesn’t want to wear glasses. I’m not sure what I’m going to do.

I don’t want to lose a good friend! I might be ill on the day of the test!!

Love from

Sandra

PS

By the way. I’ve got a new email address: www.facebook.com

Dear Sandra,                                                                      

Yours

Pingping
