years ago people in Europe did not know anything abollt

There is a story of an English sailor who brought
home some tea leaves as a present for his mother.
She told her friends about the present and asked
them for dinner to try "tea". When her friends came, the
old woman brought in a dish and put it on the table. There
were brown leaves of tea on it. The0g~~sts began to eat
these leaves. but, of course. nobody liked them. At that
moment the sailor came in. He looked at the table, smiled
and said:
"Mother, what have you done with those tea
leaves'?"
"I have boiled them as you told me to do:'
"And where is the water'?"
"I threw it away. of course". answer the poor
woman.
"Now you may throw the leaves away too." said her
son.

Shop assistant - 5"1-
I live 111 a new apartment building. It is a good place to
live. The neighbourhood is very quiet, and it is not too far
from the place I work. My neighbours arc very friendly. In
229
the apartment down the hall there are two girls. One is tall
and has red hair: the other one is not as tall. Thay are both
very attractive. I am lucky to have such pretty neighbours.
A very pleasant woman is in the apartment across the hall
She and her husband are very good cooks. i am usuall;
hungry when I come, home at night, and the smell of their
cooking is very attractive. Their son lives with them. All
of them are very fat.
I am curious about the people who live downstairs. I am
sure that the husband is American, but I don't think that
his wife is. Perhaps she is from Venezuela. or maybe she
is Colombian. I am not sure. We are always friendly and
speak when we meet. I am going to invite them to dinner
sometime, but my apartment is not really settled yet, since
I am still unpacking my things and putting them away.
When you are just arriving in a new place, you are never
sure where anything is. Nevertheless, I am quite happy in
my new home.
