Choose the correct answer.

I arrived in London for the first time two years ago
all the way from Tokyo to do a Master’s degree
in Civil Engineering. It was a bit of a culture
shock. The city first (1) appeared /sounded to be
grey and unwelcoming. Everybody (2)seemed to
be /appeared that they were busy and for the first
month, it (3) kept /felt pretty lonely. Meeting new
people was mquite/bit difficult at first but many
of the students at the university turned out to be
® rather /quite friendlier than I had expected and I ended up moving in with some of them.
The flat I was staying in was actually (6)much/bit
bigger than my flat in Tokyo. My new flatmates
were from different countries and at first we found
it (7>a bit/quite a difficult to relate to each other,
especially to the British guy, who spoke m quite
a/a bit quickly. We were <9) fairly la rather shy
about speaking at first. However, everyone was
friendly and m very/rather more informal than
back home; soon everyone (11) turned/became
more'relaxed and we got to know each other
better. Living in London wasn’t quite as difficult
as it first(12) appeared /grew to be.
