(they are very sensitive to the copyright, so they overprotect their stuff . )5 Hold the door for others while someone is behind the door. Similarly, if others help you hold the door, you should say thank you to him.
6 Girls go home at night might encounter some boys talking to them on the street, do not stop and do not be afraid, just pretend to be not understand. This situation is very common in the UK streets, what you need to do is pretend to be not understand and walk away.
7 There are many drunken tramp on the UK street holding a bottle of beer, swinging on the street. When you saw them, walk away from them.
8 The thief in British( especially in London )  is much more and more fierce than those in China.9 Some supermarkets in UK offer Cash Back service which means that you can take cash in the cash register .10.High Street and Commercial Road is a gathering place for the store. It is the commercial street.11 If you do not hold a British visa, you will have no exempt countries in Europe.

15.A National Insurance Number is needed when you apply for a job.16. You should ask for a rental contract as the Proof of Address after you rent a dormitory so as to prove your UK address. It is the preparation for the police registration and openning a bank account.
17 Apart from the student dormitories, students renting outside need to pay their own rent housing tax, called the Council Tax.

Before signing the contract, the mobile phone supplier will set a system to investigate your reputation and if someone living the same address with you before has the arrears, your credibility surveys also could not pass. This will be unfair, so we should finish the payment on time after signing the phone contract.20 To see a doctor in the UK, you need to go to the local clinic and make the GP registration, with your Proof of Address.
