1.Nicola from Romania works in an Internet PC café in Manchester:
“British people are very communicative and friendly.
Because of it They often visit as café as it. This is mainly due to
high level of noise, and in place as it where you can just relax, enjoy silence
and chat with your friends.”
[British people often use a cafe to escape from reality, to sit down (we say "take the weight off" if we have been standing a lot), to enjoy a cuppa (Tea or coffee), to "people watch", or to meet friends for a chat. (in person or online.)]

2. Elena from Ukraine is a student at City University in London:
“I think that the UK is not an appropriate place for people who like cigarettes or alcohol. There are very small percentage of people who smoke. And I think it is because there are high prices on cigarettes.
So as say my teacher says “If you come to Britain for smoking you must be a rich man”.
[Tobacco and Alcohol have long been targetted for high taxes, along with petrol. As more people either stop smoking or switch to e-cigarettes, the taxes increase to maximise revenue.]
3. Carla is a tourist from Spain:
“There are people reading people everywhere! The British are adore to read everything beginning with morning newspapers and ending to promotional brochures.
And the main fact which amuses me is drivers who stop their cars if you are crossing
the road! Cars don’t stop for you in Spain even if you are a mayor.“
[use either "which I find amusing" or "which amuses me"]

“I think many people in Britain have a problem with proper nutrition.
There are so many parents who do not look after children and their nutrition.

It was understandable, Violetta, but as you suspected, it could be better.

If you have questions, just ask!

"Polish" is the language, "Poland" is the country.

It is likely that people who employ an au pair have chosen to put their careers ahead of their family, or have such a busy social calendar that they cannot spare time for family life. Maybe thir children are "accessories"?
