Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the UK! I’m your guide, Alice. I’m very glad to be with you when you stay in the UK. To have a good time here, please be careful with yourselves! Here’re some useful tips for you.
First, the weather here is very changeable (易变的). It can be rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy, warm or cold at any time of the year. If it’s raining when you get up in the morning, it can be hot and dry by the afternoon. It may be sunny when you get up, but when you go out, it may be rainy. So don’t forget to take an umbrella with you. The west of England is wetter than the east, and the north is colder than the south. You should be used to any kind of weather.
Second, in the UK, shops are usually open from 9:00 a.m to 5:30 p.m. On Sundays some shops are open from 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m, but a lot of shops are closed. Banks, museums or other places are open from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m, you can go to the parks at any time.
Third, all the cities have buses, trains and taxis. People wait in line for buses and they are unhappy if you push in at the front. Don’t forget that traffic goes on the left.
That’s all! Enjoy yourselves and please give me a call if necessary!
