Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going. And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles and brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant. Do not think all Americans are so, because people living outside big cities and other countries as well move at a less fast pace. Americans, who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Visitors to the United States possibly feel that city people of the country are very ______.
