Get used to,  Be used to

Reading：

The year before last, I got a chance to go to London to learn more English. At first things were very strange. English money was a problem at first, but I got used to it. English food is different from Chinese food, but I got used to it, slowly ! I was also getting used to speaking English all the time. But even till the day I left London I hadn’t got used to the traffic in England. I hadn’t got used to looking right before I crossed the road.
