I moved to London ten years ago, and after ten years, I can say I 1 (live) in the UK. However, coming from Peru, it took me some time to 2 (be) in a country which is so different from my motherland. In Peru, I 3 (talk) to the people in the street: the people I met on the bus, in the shops, in the park, etc. Here, it was very difficult to speak to anybody, and not because of the language. Before I came, I was 4 (speak) English every day, because back in Peru, I 5 (be) an English teacher. So, the language was not the problem; it was just that the people here mind their own business; they don’t normally speak to strangers. But now, I have already 6 (mind) my own business.
The other thing which was completely different was the weather. In Peru, I 7 (be) outdoors all day, because it 8 (be) hot and sunny. When I came here I had to 9 (be) mostly indoors, because the weather is horrible. Now, after ten years here, I think I 10 (wear) thick clothes and I don’t mind the rainy weather as much as I did in the past, but I’ll always miss the weather in Peru.
