  "Well,that's nice,"he said."Are you getting married?But aren't you a bit(点) young?"

  "Who is talking about marriage?"I replied."I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived.Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"

  "Oh!"he said,"There's a phone downstairs."

  When at last we met,Penny explained the misunderstandings to me.

  "Don't worry,"she said to me."I had so many difficulties at first.There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British.You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say.Most of the time British and American people understand each other!"
