Traffic in London
A few facts about the capital of the country whose language you are studying.
There is a lot of traffic in the streets of the town: endless lines of buses, many of which are double-deckers, motor cars and taxis. The traffic regulations in London differ from ours: they drive on the left side of the road instead of the right. And when you try to cross the road, you feel that you need eyes all round your head.
The quickest way to get about modern London is the Underground. It seems that everyone in the London Underground is always in a hurry. Men are running fast, carrying their bags, umbrellas and newspapers. They are busy Londoners, they are "saving time".
double-decker – двухэтажный автобус,
you need eyes all round your head – надо смотреть во все глаза,
to be in a hurry – торопиться
