北师大版高中英语模块4--Unit12CultureShock Lesson1-3

[00:00.93]I think we should consider staying
[00:02.91]in the English countryside
[00:04.14]for a few night as I know you enjoy hiking¹.
[00:06.92]We can wander through the fields
[00:08.43]and even pick a few mushrooms to have
[00:09.93]with our breakfast!
[00:11.67]I have learnt which ones are tasty
[00:13.53]and safe to eat so we won't risk getting sick.
[00:16.59]And don't forget a warm coat!
[00:18.47]It can get pretty cold
[00:20.00]and foggy in this country.

[00:21.81]One last thing.
[00:23.15]I didn't understand British humour² at all
[00:25.31]when I first got here.
[00:26.84]The British find the strangest things funny!
[00:29.21]We're certainly more used to Chinese humour
[00:31.71]so don't be surprised
[00:32.78]if you hear laughter³ when you don't think
[00:34.25]anything's funny.
[00:35.77]They're not laughing at you!
[00:37.51]But even though some British people
[00:39.01]are quite strange,
[00:40.52]the majority of them are really friendly a
[00:42.39]and I've made some good friends.

[00:44.24]Anyhow, I'd better get back to work.
[00:46.31]I am so looking forward to your visit,Aunt Mei
[00:49.04]Love Xiaojin
[00:49.92]
