Um, what do you like about London?OK. Э... чем тебе нравится Лондон?Sarah:Ah, it's a very busy place, there's lots of things going on all the time. There's also lots of things I don't like about London, but all my friends live there, lots of job opportunities.Это очень оживлённый город, постоянно полный разных событий. Многое в Лондоне мне не нравится, но здесь живут все мои друзья, и работу найти легко.Todd:OK, what were you doing before you came to Japan in London?OK, а чем ты занималась в Лондоне до приезда в Японию?Sarah:Ah, I was in Austria for a year. I was teaching in Austria, and then I was in London teaching, in London for a few years.Э... один год я прожила в Австрии. Преподавала там, затем преподавала в Лондоне несколько лет.Todd:What were you teaching in London?А что ты преподавала в Лондоне?Sarah:I was teaching primary school. I was a primary school teacher.
