Before reading an e-mail try to answer the following questions.
Tim, a Slovenian student, has moved to Sevilla (southern Spain) for a year to study Spanish and English at their local university. Tim regularly writes e-mails to his friend to Sweden. Read Tim’s e-mail carefully.
Hi Björn,
I am barely two days in Sevilla (Spain) but my ears urgently need vacation. These people talk all the time!:) You order your juice in some cafe and the waiter starts to communicate with you: "Oh, how nice to have you here. Have you just arrived? I believe you're thirsty. Our sun burns scorching hot, doesn’t it. Do you want me to get some still water to your Coke? Yes, of course, because otherwise you'll continue to dehydrate. You just stay here and rest your tired feet. Yes, and the best beach here is just around the corner. It is Sunday today and families gather on the beach. You know, we don’t go to the beach just to stay in the sun, to get suntan and swim, but we also spend a whole day there, we have a picnic together, we rest, and above all, we socialize and play with our children. I’ll serve it right away. We’ve said a Coke and water, right?"
Well, in Slovenia you get a much shorter answer from the waiter: "I’ll serve it right away, sir."
