We 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, we 3   (talk) to the people in the street: the people we 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 we

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 we 7   (be) outdoors all day,

because it 8   (be) hot and sunny. When we came here we had to 9   (be) mostly indoors,

because the weather is horrible. Now, after ten years here, I think we 10   (wear) thick clothes and we
don’t mind the rainy weather as much as we did in the past, but I’ll always miss the weather in Peru.
