As you know, the main English-speaking country is Great Britain. I want you to read the text about British character. Read the text to yourself and do one of the exercises that follow.

BRITISH CHARACTER

The British are said to be polite and well-mannered people. Polite words or phrases such as “Please”, “Thank you”, “Excuse me” or “Sorry” are used very often in Britain.

The British people are reserved. They don’t like displaying their emotions even in dangerous and tragic situations. But they are not unemotional. They control their emotions because they are taught that it is best not to show their feelings. The English hardly ever lie, but they don’t tell you the truth either.

Englishmen tend to be rather conservative, they love familiar things. They are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. Britain has more living symbols of its past than many other countries. Traditional uniforms are still preserved in Great Britain.

Every Englishman is said to be a countryman at heart. The English countryside is many things to many people. It means peace and quiet, beauty, good health and no crime. Most Englishmen love gardens. Gardening is one of the most popular hobbies among Englishmen. They usually prefer a house with a garden to an apartment in a modern block of flats.

The British people are considered to be the world’s greatest tea drinkers. They drink it at meals and between meals. The English tea is usually strong and with milk.

The British love animals very much. Millions of families have “bird-tables” in their gardens. The English take good care of their pets. They are pet lovers.
