An American in London
Unit 1
A busy day 1
Do you remember Arthur? He is an American student who lives in London. Of course, Arthur speaks English but did you know that there is a difference between the English language in Great Britain and in America? For some things they have different words: English people say ‘trousers’, Americans say ‘pants’. Sometimes they use the same words with different spelling. For example, in Great Britain they write ‘mum’ but in America they write ‘mom’. Take a look at Arthur’s schedule. What does he write when he means ‘mother’?

Read the text. Arthur arrives on time at the College of London. He goes to the office of the Dean of Studies (DoS) for his interview.
Knock at the door. DoS
Enter!
Arthur
Good morning, sir. I’m Arthur. I have an interview with you now.
DoS
Oh yes, you’re the American. Or a Yankee, as we call you. (laughs)
Arthur
Yes, I am.
DoS
Well, come in. Sit down.
Arthur
Thank you, sir.
DoS
I’m Mr Smith. How long have you been here now?
Arthur
I arrived last week.
DoS
What do you think of London?
Arthur
It’s a big city. Always busy.
DoS
Yes, it is a bit busy at times. What do you think of the weather?
Arthur
Very cold!
DoS
But it’s still summer! I thought it was quite warm. Where do you come from exactly?
Arthur
I’m from California, San Francisco.
DoS
Well, that explains a lot! How hot is it there?
Arthur
It’s an average of 28 degrees Celsius, but very often it is even hotter.
DoS
That is hot indeed! Well, you’ll have to buy an extra sweater if you want to be warm! (laughs)
Arthur
I already have.
DoS
Let’s get down to business. You want to do business studies here at college.
Arthur
Yes, sir.
DoS
Well, I don’t think that’s a problem. But I do have a suggestion for you: We would advise you to attend lessons in a secondary school for a month, so you can understand how an English school works.
Arthur
That sounds okay with me. Which school should I go to?
DoS
I have already arranged a meeting for you! You can go across the street to St Martin-in-theFields Secondary School. Ask for Mr Pink.
Arthur
Mr Pink?
DoS
Yes, Mr Pink. He’s the headmaster. If he isn’t there, ask for Mrs Brown. She is the deputy head.
Arthur
Mrs Brown? Ok, thank you. It sounds like a colourful school.
DoS
Very funny. Don’t forget: college starts on the first of October. Be sure to come by again for your lesson schedule.
Arthur
Okay. Thank you, sir. Nice meeting you.

The pleasure was all mine!

In this email to his parents Arthur writes the following dates to describe his story. Dear Mum & Dad ...
In America, people write the dates differently. First they write the month, then the day and finally the year.
On 8/8 I arrived in Paris for a short visit to the town and to meet up with auntie Christine. I left 4 days later for Belgium because I wanted to try the Belgian Chocolates and to see Manneke Pis (imagine they made a statue of a boy peeing – strange Belgians). I arrived in Britain at the end of the month. On 9/2 I went to the Dean of Studies at the College of London, and they suggested I go to secondary school for a month. I start in St-Martin-in-the-Fields on 9/9. I have met some very nice people on that day, and I’ll be going to a party on 10/1. I can’t wait! Well, I have to go now. Say hello to the family during Patriot Day on 9/11. I will be thinking of you! ... Love Arthur
