W: So, Terry. You've been in London quite a long time now.
M: Mmm.
W: What differences do you notice between the English and America?
M: (23)Obviously the biggest difference is the people. The average Englishman is cold and not very open.
W: Oh!
M: (24)You know, when I first came, I couldn't understand what was wrong, but now I see that I was trying to be too friendly too soon. In the States it's very different. We start conversations with people in the street. We're a lot more enthusiastic and spontaneous than people here.
W: But urn, tell me, do the English improve as you get to know them?
M: Oh yes !
W: Oh, good!
M: Once you've made a friend, it's a friend for life, but it takes a very long time. I'll tell you something that I think is very important. English people in America are respected. But Americans in England are thought to be a little inferior because they get excited by everything. One thing I've learned—it's funny now, but it wasn't at the time—I couldn't understand why, when I was talking to someone, they would move away, you know, move backwards. I thought, "Do I smell? Am I boring?" (25)The reason was, you see, Americans stand closer when they're talking.
