A Helpful Day in London

On Saturday, October 12, Dmytro meets Mehmet at 09:00 near the station. A loud announcement says that roadworks delay the bus.

The sky is gray with heavy rain. They walk to the community center to start their volunteering shift.

They organize the charity sale for the neighborhood. Many people bring a donation for the local hospital.

At 13:00, they finish their task. The weather improves and the sun appears behind the clouds.

They walk to a bistro for lunch. Dmytro studies the menu to choose a traditional meal.

The waiter says the bill is 25 pounds. They discuss the custom of adding a 10 percent tip for the service.

Mehmet explains that a generous tip is common in the UK. Dmytro leaves some extra coins on the table.

They leave the restaurant and walk to the platform. The screen shows their train arrives at gate 4 at 15:30.

Dmytro feels happy because he helped the community today. He has learned many useful things about British culture.

They wait for the train on the platform. Dmytro plans to volunteer again next month.
