1、English Pubs
Pubs are supposed to be the Englishman's favorite meeting place,where he can get together with a few friends over a pint of beer and talk about football,or horse racing,or business.
You may notice that the pub is the place for men,but not for women.Even now it is still not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone; she must have a man to escort and protect her.Perhaps that's partly why pubs depress me － they are intended mainly to provide for male interests,which are often pretty narrow.I think this male-dominated atmosphere also reminds me of my life back at school,or in the army,neither of which is an experience I much want to relive.
However,I'm obviously in the minority.Most Englishmen have their local pubs,where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work,and if they are lucky,tell their troubles to a pretty barmaid.Indeed,many men dream of retiring from their 9 - 5 jobs and buying a little country pub,where they imagine they'll be the host of a seven-nights-a-week party.This dream usually dies when cleaning up spilled beer at one o'clock in the morning.
Still,there's a pub for every type of man,from the city sophisticate to the rural primitive,and a man for every type of pub.And I must admit that,for someone who doesn't like them,I've spent a lot of time in pubs of various kinds.
2、A Bread-and-Butter Letter
Dear Mrs.Johnson:
It is a pleasure to write this letter because it gives me an opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed your hospitality last weekend.It was my first visit to an American family and,at first,I was very anxious about my limited English and my knowledge of American customs.Then I saw you and your children waiting for me at the station with warm smiles of welcome on your faces.I immediately knew that everything was going to be all right.You and your wonderful family put me at ease right away.
There are many happy memories of the weekend that I will keep with me forever.Above all,I will remember that you made me feel at home.There were so many new and different things for me to see and do.I particularly enjoyed driving through the countryside with Mr.Johnson and you and seeing the charming colors of the leaves on the trees.I liked playing baseball with your sons,Jimmy and Joey.They were very patient with me and full of fun.Tell them I will teach them how to play soccer next time.I also had a good time at the community square dance on Saturday night.It was my first square dance,and I cannot forget how friendly and kind everyone around was.
I am back at school again now and I am very happy because I know now a real American family and it is one of the nicest families I have ever met.Because my English is still not very good,I cannot express my feelings better.I can only say "Thank you" and hope that someday you will visit my country and I can return your hospitality.
Sincerely yours,Carlos Gomez.

1.英国酒吧
酒吧应该是英国男士最喜欢聚会的地方了,在那里他们可以与一帮朋友聚在一起,叫上一品脱的啤酒,聊聊足球,侃侃马赛,或是谈谈生意.
你或许注意到了,酒吧里通常是清一色的男士,而不是女士呆的地方.即使是现在,任何女士独自一人进入酒吧,也会被认为是有伤风化的.她要进入的话,必须要有一个男士陪同保护.或许这就是为什么我不喜欢酒吧的原因之一了.这种酒吧在很大程度上只是照顾到了男性的需要,很狭隘.这种男性占统治地位的氛围也让我想起了我在学校和军队里的生活,不是另我愉快的回忆.
我很常去酒吧,但是我却不像大多数去泡吧的男人那样.很多英国男人在家附近就可以找到酒吧,在那里他们可以暂时的从生活或工作的压力中逃脱出来,如果他们当天鸿运当头的话,说不定还可以和一个漂亮的女酒保谈谈心.说是在的,摆脱朝九晚五的生活,开一间乡村小酒吧,是很多男人的梦想.这样他们就可以一个星期天天晚上都开派对,只是这样的梦通常都会在凌晨一点清理洒得到处都是的啤酒的时候破碎.
然而,你可以在酒吧里找到形形色色的男人,无论是斯文的知识分子,或是农村里的老大粗,无论何种男人,只要是酒吧,就会欢迎.我必须要承认,虽然我不是很喜欢酒吧,但是我却光顾了各种各样的酒吧.

亲爱的约翰逊夫人：
很高兴提笔写这封信,因为它让我有机会告诉你上周末我是多么享受你的盛情款待.这是我第一次拜访一个美国家庭,起初,我很担心我有限的英语和对美国风俗的不了解.然而当我看见您和您的孩子在车站等我时,我看到你们的脸上堆满了热情的笑容,我马上明白了一切都会好的.您和您的和睦的家庭令我放松.
周末里度过的所有美好时光我将永远记在心头.最重要的是,是您让我感到象在家里一样.让我见识并体会到各种不同的新奇的事物.跟约翰逊先生和您一起开车穿越乡村让我特别地享受,看着那树上色彩迷人的叶子.我喜欢和你们的儿子吉米和乔伊一起打棒球.他们对我很耐心,我们玩的很开心.请帮我转告他们下次我将教他们怎么踢足球.在星期六的晚上的社区方块舞会上我也有度过了一段美好的时光.那是我第一次跳方块舞,周围那些友好和亲切的人们让我难以忘怀.
我马上就要回到学校了,但是我很高兴,因为现在我了解了一个真正的美国家庭,这是我见过的最美好的家庭.因为我的英语还不是很好,所以我还不能更好地表达我的感受.我只能说“谢谢你”,希望有一天您会访问我的国家,使我能有机会答谢您的盛情.
你真诚的,卡洛斯戈麦斯.
