One of the most striking features of English life is
the self-discipline and courtesy of people of all classes.
There is little noisy behaviour, and practically no loud
disputing in the street. People do not rush excitedly for
seats in buses or trains, but take their seats in queues at
bus stops in a quiet and orderly manner.
Englishmen are naturally polite and are never tired
in saying •Thank you*, «I'm sorry*, •Beg your pardon*.
If you follow anyone who is entering a building or a
room, he will hold a door open for you. Many foreigners
have commented on a remarkable politeness of the English
people. ,
English people don't like displaying their emotions
even in dangerous and tragic situations, and ordinary
people seem to remain good-tempered and cheerful under difficulties.
The Englishman does not like any boasting or showing off in manners, dress or speech. Sometimes he conceals his knowledge: a linguist, for example, may not
mention his understanding of a foreigner's language.
The Englishman prefers his own house to an apartment in a block-of flats, because he doesn't wish his
doing to be overlooked by his neighbours. «An Englishman's house is his castle*.
Many Englishmen help their wives at home in many
ways. They clean the windows on Saturday afternoon they often wash up the dishes after supper in the evening.
Sunday is a very quiet day in London. All the shops are
closed, and so are the theatres and most of the cinemas.
Londoners like to get out of town on Sundays. The sea
is not far — only fifty or sixty miles away and people
like to go down to the sea in summer or somewhere to
the country for skiing in winter.
