1. My turn, said James. Next game: youve got a time capsule and you want to put one thing in it which represents England. What do you choose?
A Number Seven Manchester United shirt, said Ben. Number Seven was the shirt worn by David Beckham, who was Bens personal hero.
That just represents England now, argued Barbara. How about a cup of tea? she suggested.
No, said James. No one drinks tea any more. Everyone drinks cappuccino.
2. Barbara looked at her friends. There she was in London with a group of Londoners, playing games. She was the first person in her village to go to England and her parents were very proud of the scholarship1 she had won which enabled her to study at the University of Westminster in London. Her college was right in the centre of London.
3. Before she arrived, Barbara had thought that she knew everything about England. She had watched every film about England from her local video shop. Shed watched the film Notting Hill seven times; she couldnt wait to meet Hugh Grant or some other Englishman who looked just like him. Shed also seen some other films, which showed that there were villages in England, a bit like those at home.
There was a north-south divide, her English teacher had told her. Barbara wondered what the north-south divide looked like. Perhaps it was a bit like the Grand Canyon in America, but smaller.
4. It had been a shock arriving in Notting Hill and finding that apart from the Russells, the family she was staying with, most of the other people in the street were black. Notting Hill, she soon discovered, was a centre of Afro-Caribbean culture. When she first arrived, she discovered that despite her good marks in English at school, she didnt understand a word anyone said. She also met some of the Russells neighbours, who were English with West Indian parents. Barbara discovered, that in fact they spoke more clearly than lots of the white people she met and they were very friendly.
5. One day Barbara met Ben and his friends who met up most evenings to go for something to eat or to see a film.
The English are strange, said Ben one afternoon.
Yes, agreed Barbara. Later that night, back in her room, she took out some paper.
Strange things about the English: Number 1, she wrote.
There are some things that are bad, which you may talk about, and some things, which are good, that you may not talk about.
She had discovered that you mustnt talk about how much money a person earned, but you may talk about how much money a person spent. In fact, the English students talked about money all the time. You may, also, talk about love but not about illness. In fact, considered Barbara, students in England generally didnt want to talk about anything serious.
Barbara had told her friends about her list and soon they were all making suggestions.
When the English come back from other countries they always say what a lovely time theyve had and how friendly everyone was. Thats because they dont expect people to be friendly, because they arent friendly to foreigners, said James.
No, said Barbara, everyones been really nice to me since I got here.
