conversation 2
学习啦在线学习网 W: Our topic
today is about something that foreigners nearly always say when
学习啦在线学习网 they visit Britain. It’s why are the British so cold and they are
talking about the British personality, the famous British reserve.
It means that we aren’t very friendly; we aren’t very
open.
学习啦在线学习网 M: So do you
think it is true?
W: it is a
difficult one. So many people who visit Britain say it’s difficult
to make friends with British people. They say we are cold, reserved
and unfriendly.
M: I think it’s
学习啦在线学习网 true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same
language, but they are much more open. And you see it when you
travel, people, I mean strangers speak to you on the street or on
the train. British people seldom speak on the train or the bus not
in London anyway.
学习啦在线学习网 W: Not in London.
That’s it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never
学习啦在线学习网 friendly. People are different in other parts of the
country.
M: Not
completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She has been working in
Manchester for 2 years and no one, not one of the colleagues had
学习啦在线学习网 ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work
学习啦在线学习网 but nothing else. She can’t believe it. She said that it would
never happen in Italy.
W: You know what
they says. An Englishman’s home is his castle. It is really
学习啦在线学习网 difficult to get inside.
学习啦在线学习网 M: Yeah it’s
about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and
you close the door. It’s your place.
学习啦在线学习网 W: That’s why the
British don’t like flats. They prefer to living in the
houses.
学习啦在线学习网 M: That’s
true.

学习啦在线学习网 foreigners generally think of British people according to the
woman?

学习啦在线学习网 British people typically do on train according to the
man?

学习啦在线学习网 man say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?

学习啦在线学习网 to get your schoolwork done, too.

college student looking for work, but worried you won’t have enough
学习啦在线学习网 time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study
学习啦在线学习网 hall or library monitor. Responsibility is generally include
supervising study spaces, to insure that a quiet atmosphere is

tea.

tea.
