Good afternoon,and welcome to England

　　We hope your visit here will be a pleasant one.Today.I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

　　The first one is about drinking.Now,you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age.

　　Secondly,noise.Enjoy yourselves by all means,but please don't make unnecessary noise,particularly at night.

　　Thirdly,crossing the road.Be careful.The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country.Use the crossings for walking and don't take any chances when crossing the road.

　　My next point is about waste.It's against the law to throw away waste material in a public place.When you have something to throw away,please put it in your pocket and take it home,or put it in a dustbin.

　　Finally,smoking.It is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

　　Thank you.
