British people - my first experiences.
I moved to the UK 2 months ago and I'm really surprised by the positive contact the British have with foreigners and how extra helpful they are during a crisis.
In the shops, hospital in every public space when you look at anyone or start a conversation, he/she starts smiling if you step on someone's toe they will say sorry first. The British are a really polite, easy-going and helpful nation.
Once I was running with a heavy backpack after my train to London and suddenly I felt a terrible pain in my back so I had to lay down on the street immediately. I could not stand up and was laying for a minute when a lovely old British woman appeared and asked me - Are you alright? I was shocked because of my 'back' situation and answered her - Not really.
After a short conversation, she offered me help and took me to her car and brought me to my house. She even carried my heavy backpack to my place. She was great, helpful and really kind:) I want to thank her once again!
After this situation I was surprised about the really fast reaction of other people. Also my friend had a similiar situation that needed help from others and help appeared in a second.
It's really great to live in a society like that where people are welcome, feeling safe and knowing that you can always get help from others when you need it.
I'm happy I live in England !
Hello Seweryn,
Nice long text for your first writing, I am glad that you are enjoying life in England. The biggest problem with your writing seems to be the articles 'a' and 'the', this is a typical problem for learners from your part of the world as you don't have them in your language. Also in English there is a special order for adjectives (in green)
Hope this helps
Bob
