On weekends, Stefan goes to the pub with some of his new friends. Laura is from Linz. Last year she finished her apprentice- ship as a restaurant specialist (waitress). Now she has a job with Carson Hotels in London. “I love it here,” says Laura. “The people are so friendly and helpful.” At the beginning it was difficult for her because her English was not so good, but she is learning very quickly.
