My family and I used to live in Belgium, and, to me, life was great. Most of my relatives and friends lived there, so there was never a of aunts to spoil me or children to play with me.
My father is a journalist, there wasn't much work for him in Belgium at that time. When I was eight, he he'd found a good job in London and that we were going to move there. I was - I didn't realize I was leaving my friends behind and throwing myself into a different world. The excitement soon after we moved there.
our arrival in London, I had to start a new school and learn a new . I didn't know things in fashion, either. For the six months I had extra lessons to learn English. This with cards and progressed towards books. I'm a learner ,so I soon caught up. It was fitting in with other in my school that took a bit more work.
For the first two years or so I was an outsider, no matter how much I tried to . This made me and sensitive - a perfect target for bullies. Thankfully, some of my classmates began to me, and they became a great help as they helped me to the things that made me a "foreigner". By the time I primary school, most people couldn't believe I had moved to England only four years before. I was able to fit in, grasp the language and adapt to the culture.
Trying to fit in is my to anyone who has just moved from the homeland. or is planning to. "Fitting in" doesn't mean completely yourself to be someone else ,but it does mean trying to learn the culture and language, ,which will make your life easier.

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all family 31 in town, I wanted a rest 32 catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the 33coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long 34 to sit at.

When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next 36 . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, 37 dark glasses and worn clothes, and 38colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did 39 me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.

The boy 46 me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This 47 is crazy.” Everyone stared.
