Common sense of life of British immigrants

British schools are world-famous, and children under 16 can enjoy free public school education and first-class pure English education. Education level in Britain There are many famous institutions of higher learning in the world, such as Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial College, which is also the reason why many people immigrate to Britain.

When I first arrived in Britain, I was not familiar with the geographical location, including maps, addresses, commonly used telephones, mobile phones, school materials and so on. When going out for a walk, walk in a bright place, don't take shortcuts, don't take too much cash out, and put your money in different places. When traveling abroad, cash is on you. If you are used to carrying a handbag, don't put cash, passport or important documents in it. When getting on and off public transport, you should be vigilant and pay special attention to your belongings to prevent theft.

British cars drive on the left side of the road, which is different from our habit of driving on the right side. This is a place where we must be very careful when we first come to England. Generally speaking, the driving habits of domestic drivers do not meet the requirements and standards of Britain. According to the driving experience in China, people who think their driving skills are fine are often the most prone to accidents.

For people who don't drive, it is also the secret to maintain their own safety to pay attention to the cars coming in the left and right directions when crossing the road and walk and cross the road according to traffic signs. According to British law, pedestrians can't get compensation if they don't obey the traffic rules and have a car accident.

British clothing has been diversified and comfortable, and casual jackets and jeans are more popular. The British pay attention to what style of clothes to wear on what occasions. However, many people like to wear casual clothes, which are simple and comfortable.

There are only daylight saving time and winter time in Britain. Every year1on the morning of October 30th 10, all localities put their watches back one hour.

In Britain, we drink a lot of tea and coffee, but we usually drink cold drinks when we eat. Different from China culture, British people don't think that drinking hot water or hot drinks is necessarily good for health. Therefore, there is no place to fill hot water in the university campus, only the faucet for cold water can be seen.

Even though there are authentic Chinese restaurants run by China people all over Britain, when your British friends say that they have eaten Chinese food, they are likely to say "English Chinese take-out", such as fried shrimp slices and lemon chicken. China has supermarkets in big cities, where you can buy all kinds of cooking materials, condiments, pots and pans. Everything from hot pot to rice cooker. But if you live near the countryside, don't forget to bring your favorite food from China. However, British Customs has strict regulations on bringing certain foods into the country. Pay attention to the latest regulations.

Another thing to pay attention to is the time and quantity of eating. In Britain, dinner is usually more formal than lunch, and you eat more. Students' lunch is usually cold sandwiches, which is quite different from the hot lunch that most students in China are used to.

There is definitely a drinking culture among young people in Britain. College students often drink a lot of wine on an empty stomach. Then organize a group to play in the club, so that you don't have to spend money to buy wine when you play. Drinks in that place are usually expensive. This is very different from China's "going out to play". Karaoke culture in China is usually to make an appointment to go to a karaoke bar, and then reserve a table to order drinks and snacks.

Usually in Britain, the tip is 10%. In America, you should tip everything, including taxi drivers. In Britain, going to a restaurant is usually just a tip. Some restaurants add service charges to their meals. You can ask to calculate the meal fee, and the tip is calculated separately. But if you think the service quality is not good, don't tip.
