Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

My next point is about litter (throwing away wasted material in a public place). It is an offence(违法行为) to drop litter in the street.
When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.
Finally, as regards smoking, it is againt the law to buy cigarettes or tabacco (烟草) if you are under 16 years of age.
