Background reading1.Traffic in EnglandWhen you are in England, you must be very careful in the streets because the traffic drives on the left.Before you cross a street, you must look to the right first and then the left.If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then people on foot can cross the road carefully. If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustn't cross. In the morning and in the evening when people go to or come from work, the streets are very busy. Traffic is the most dangerous then.When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. Always remember the traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first, or you will go wrong.In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. It's very interesting!III.
