I have been in England three months now. I hope you don’t think I’ve forgotten you. There have been so many places to s ee and so many things to do that I’ve not had much time for writing letters.

I shall soon be starting my studies at King’s College. So far I’ve been learning about England and British ways of living. I won’t tell you about London. There are lots of books you can read and lots of pictures you can look at about this famous city. I’m sure you’ll be more interested to know what I think about life here.

I find some of the customs（风俗） interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in the mainland（大陆）of Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other.

A young father was visiting an old neighbor. They were standing in the old man’s garden, and talking about children. The young man said, “How strict should parents be with their children？”

The old man pointed to a string（绳子）between a big strong tree and a thin young one. “Please untie（解开）that string,” he said. The young man untied it, and the young tree bent（弯）over to one side. “Now tie it again, please,” said the old man, “but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again.”

The young man did so. Then the old man said, “There, it is the same with children. You must be strict with them, but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on. If they are not yet able to stand alone, you must tie the string tight again. But when you find that they are ready to stand alone, you can take the string away.”
