Hob was a student who came to London to study. His teacher, Mr. Priestley, asked the students to tell about their first impressions of England, so Hob told his story about his first day in London.
He arrived in London by train. It was rainy and foggy, so Hob took a taxi-cab to his little hotel where he met a porter and the manager of the hotel. Although Hob had learnt English at school, he couldn't understand them. In his room Hob took a hot bath and went to bed.
In the morning Hob was very hungry. He looked into his dictionary to make sure he knew how to say "breakfast" and hurried down to the dining-room. The waiter asked Hob something but Hob didn't understand him and only said "Breakfast". The waiter brought the manager with him. Hob said the word "Breakfast" again and even wrote it on the napkin. Both the waiter and the manager were surprised, but then the waiter brought a tray with lots of tea, toast, butter and marmalade. Hob ate everything, and the waiter brought bacon and eggs. Hob decided it was no use explaining and simply ate the bacon and eggs. As he was trying to get up the waiter brought another tray with some fish and sauce. This time Hob tried to say that only a man who was dying of hunger could eat such a breakfast, but the waiter misunderstood him again. He ran away and came back with a big plateful of sandwiches. Hob gave up the struggle and went slowly and heavily to his room.
