Now let's move on to Task 3:

Greetings from the UK! I'm having a great time, but I still haven't been out of London. Have you ever been to Britain? Even though I have, I've still got lots of questions about British culture. Why do the Brits adore queuing up? They're never patient. I'd heard that everyone sat in silence on the Tube, and it's true! Are people too unsociable to talk to each other? The son in my host family is going to help me find some answers. Josh has just come back from Milan, so he's got some questions about Italian culture too. The Brits love spicy food and there's lots of choice from different cultures here. We went out for a Malaysian meal last Friday and it was a really memorable experience. It appears that Indonesian food is really good too. I haven't tried much British food yet. I've already decided I want to come back next year, but it's expensive, so my parents are unlikely to agree.

The text is discussing the experiences and observations of someone visiting the UK. It mentions the Brits' love for queuing, their tendency to be unsociable on the Tube, and their appreciation for spicy food and different cultures. The person also mentions their interest in visiting again next year, but acknowledges the potential difficulty in convincing their parents due to the cost.
