1My Image of Britain.
Newspaper and television bring news and opinions from all over the world. From this information we start to build up pictures in our minds of other countries and other people.
2 When people think of a foreign country they picture in their minds different things. What do you usually think of when you think of a country? (anticipating)
3Make a list of things. Compare your list with your partner's. 4Complete the Word Web.
5What do you know about Britain? 1) Where is it situated? 2) What are the main countries of the UK and their capitals? 3) What can you tell us about Britain’s climate? 4) Who does the real power in the UK belong to? 5) What are the main industrial centres? 6The teenage magazine «Current» asked its readers to give their opinions of Britain. Here are some of their replies.
1) Scan the replies to find out if they mention (упоминают) any of the things you mentioned in exercise II. (reading for specific information) 2) What other places, people and things are mentioned? (taking notes) a) Unfortunately when people think of Britain they usually only think of London. If you travel 100 miles (160 km) out of London, it's as if you are in a different world. The people are kinder, more relaxed, more helpful, the landscape is more beautiful and there's no traffic jam. Another idea people have of Britain is that the weather is always cold and wet. I think they are correct. The British Isles have never been famous for good weather. (Rob Wilson, 17) b) When I think of Britain, I think of two main areas, Scotland and England. With Scotland some people associate people, who are heavy drinkers and smokers. I know it's not true. I picture them as hard-working in industries such as steel, coal-mining and shipbuilding. When I think of England, I think of traffic noise and masses of people. The Royal Family is heavily linked with Britain, too. (Marni Duncan, 18) c) I've always had the idea that British people are clever. I know several people from Britain. They are all kind and sympathetic and they work hard at school. From television and books I get another image of the typical Brit. He's an older man with a pipe in one hand. Perhaps he's eating fish and chips at a pub or playing darts. I also think of great clubs, bars and parties when I think of Britain. I have never been to Britain but I hope to go someday to find out if any of my impressions are true. (Sarah Wood, 18) d) I think of Britain as a place with a lot of different types of people. The only big city that I can picture is London. I imagine the rest of the country as small towns. There isn't much to do in the way of entertainment, that's why people may read more, or learn to play an instrument, or write, or do something else than go to a movie. The best thing I can think of about Britain is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of violence (насилие). When I turn on the television, I rarely hear about violence in Great Britain. My image of Britain is probably far from the truth, but it's the way I see it. (Dan Kerman, 16) 3) Find any point which is mentioned by different teenagers. Is there any contradiction (противоречие) between their opinions? 4) What ideas do these teenagers and other people have of Britain and its people? Do you believe this is true? (expressing doubt)
7Countries often have national symbols or emblems. John Bull is the symbol of the typical Englishman. He is often drawn in cartoons or picture about England. He was invented in 1712 by a political writer John Arbuthnot. John Bull is drawn as a big man with a large stomach and a round face. He wears high boots, an open jacket and a Union Jack waistcoat. He often has a bulldog with him.
Vocabulary
Union Jack waistcoat – a very colourful waist coat looking like the British Flag (Union Jack). It is usually worn under a jacket. Union Jack – (also the Union Flag) – the national flag of Great Britain, made up of 3 flags.
1) What other British symbols do you know? 2) What national emblems and colours does your country have?
