TEXT 1
London Life
(1) London is a nation, not a city. With a population of around 7 million, it is one of the most ethnically
diverse cities in the world, where more than 300 languages are spoken. Modern, multicultural London
appears to have it all: historic monuments, tourist attractions on every corner, and a mouthwatering selection of restaurants, entertainment, arts and culture.

(2) If you look a little closer, however, you’ll see that all is not well in Britain’s capital. There is growing
traffic congestion, the oldest and busiest Underground system in the world, worsening pollution and
rising street crime. And while there are plenty of jobs, more and more Londoners are struggling to earn
enough money to match the cost of living in one of the world’s most expensive cities. [ A ]
(3) “Here in the City, everybody’s just got their head down, working,” says 23-year-old Rajiv Bhattacharya, a financial analyst for the investment bank Dresdner Kleinwart, who was born and grew up in
south London. The markets open early. So Bhattacharya has to be at work by 7:30 a.m. He works a long
day, finishing around 7:30 p.m. [ B ] Fortunately, the two-bedroom flat in Bethnal Green he bought
with his brother is within walking distance of the City, but on a salary of around £27,000 per year he still
needs to share his flat with a colleague to cover the costs of his mortgage.
For Bhattacharya, the positive sides of London life are that “everything is within touching distance – you
never want for anything” – and that it is “slowly but surely turning into a 24-hour city”. The negatives
are the “British weather” and the fact that it’s difficult to meet people outside your immediate circle of
friends, because people haven’t even got time to say ‘hello’. [ C ]
(4) Dublin-born Derval Fitzgerald is a London worker who is lucky enough to have bought a house close
to the city centre. She is an art and media-studies teacher at Eaglesfield School for boys in Woolwich, an
“exceedingly poor area” of south-east London. When the 33-year-old came over from Ireland for her
teacher training three years ago, she lived “in the sticks”, which meant more than an hour’s bus journey
just to see a film at a city-centre cinema.
Fitzgerald says she has always loved exploring different areas of London. But, like most Londoners, she
struggles with travel difficulties: “It’s frustrating – it takes half a day to get to the other side of the city.”
As for transport, Fitzgerald says that cycling is the quickest way to get around, if a little dangerous. Like
many young Londoners, she is now thinking of buying a scooter. [ D ]
(5) [ E ] Nikoletta Amadidou is studying for a master’s degree in social policy at Middlesex University in north London. With her Greek/Czech background, 23-year-old Amadidou is typical of this university, which has a large number of foreign students.
When Amadidou stepped off the plane from Greece three years ago and took a cab to the university
campus in Tottenham, the driver scared her with stories of burglaries and muggings. Tottenham is a
poor, largely black part of north London with high unemployment. The CCTV cameras that can be found
on the campus are now a standard part of life in the city. In her role as student welfare officer, Amadidou
deals with many of the growing number of difficulties of student life in London. [ F ]
Although a recent official report warned that “being a full-time student in London may be becoming
impossible for some”, Amadidou says: “I think London gives you opportunities, but you have to grab
them. It’s a nice place to live, as long as you’re a bit careful on the street, and careful with your money
as well.”

Smart Travel Tips
When to go
The heaviest tourist season in Britain runs mid-April to mid-October, with another peak around Christmas – but actually the tide never really ebbs. Spring
is the time to see the countryside. In summer, lots of places in the south offer
language courses for students from abroad.
Where to stay
The UK Hotel guide lists hotels for a price that's sure to fit everybody’s budget,
from 5 Star to basic all at great rates. Safe and secure online booking is possible. An alternative to hotels are backpacker hostels which offer good value for
little money. London universities also rent so-called budget rooms. If your
travel dates fit in, you can stay at a campus between terms and use all the
different facilities available, such as the gym or the library.
What to do for no or little money
London is, in many ways, Europe’s most expensive city, with lots of pricey
sights, but if you budget wisely, your money will last longer than your trip. For
an informative, entertaining introduction to London, take a walking tour instead
of a hop-on, hop-off bus tour. Fans of the theatre buy their tickets at "tkts" at
Leicester Square. Theatre tickets are sold there for that day only but you get
discounts from 25 to 50 percent. Many of the city's biggest and best museums
won't cost you a penny. Last but not least, consider watching politicians in action in the Houses of Parliament without paying anything.
How to behave at restaurants or pubs
Don’t just walk into a restaurant and sit down. Wait to be seated. Even in
places where you find an empty seat do not sit with strangers. When a group
of friends or colleagues has a meal at a restaurant, they split the bill equally. In
British pubs, you get your drink at the bar, pay immediately without giving a tip
and then take your seat.
