When I went to England,I enjoyed mv stay. But I noticed so many different traditions. For example,you usually shake hands with people when you meet for the first time.

1  You must say Mr or Mrs when you speak to older people,but you can use first names with your friends.

    One day we visited some friends and had tea. Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4： 00 in the afternoon. You can't have tea—the meal—after 4： 30. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. 2  And you must drink tea with milk. You must pour the tea,then the milk—you can't put the milk in first,then the tea.

   In buses and trains,the other passengers are very quiet,and you mustn't talk too loudly. 3  In some trains you can't even use your mobile phones!And you don't often hear people shouting in the street.

    I was very lucky—I even went to a wedding. It was very different from a Chinese wedding. For example,the man and the woman can't see each other the night before the wedding.

4  And at the party after the wedding,the woman throws her flowers over her shoulder. The girl who catches them will be the next to get married!It was all very strange but it was great fun!
