Victor is taking a plane to London. He's talking to an Englishman, David Blake.
— I wonder if you mind my foreign accent, David.
— Of course I don't, Victor. After this trip foreign accents don't surprise me at all.
— The United States is a melting pot of people from different countries.
— To tell the truth, I myself didn't understand some accents. I could understand the slang of American blacks only with great difficulty.
— Really? I couldn't understand them at all. But I was struck by the friendliness of people in the street.
— That's typically American. In England people are more formal though they are friendly.
— Most Americans are very informal in habits, dress and speech. Do you smoke, David?
— I do. But not very much.
— Health is so fashionable in America that I gave up smoking too.
— Have you managed to give up smoking?
— Yes, and only in America I finally managed to do it. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
— Yet there is a lot of advertising for wine and cigarettes.
— But people don't take notice of that. And they advertise health as well. That kind of ads is really popular.
— Then I'll try not to smoke till London.
— That's a good idea!
