Restraint and politeness are among the main features of the English communication style. The British, in our eyes, are even sometimes overly polite. They often say "Thank you", "Please" and "I'm sorry." They don't speak loudly on the street. They don't hustle in buses to get a seat, they buy tickets showing their seats in lines at bus stops. Residents of England do not shake hands when meeting each other, they do not show their emotions even in tragic situations.
Some believe that the British are cold, insensitive, phlegmatic people. The famous English restraint, the desire to hide emotions, to save face is a consequence of strict upbringing.
There are not many things that can make an Englishman mad. In those cases when a representative of the sentimental Latin race or the spiritual Slavic will sob with tears of admiration or tenderness, the Englishman will say “lovely” (“cute”), and this will be equivalent in terms of the strength of the manifestation of feelings. In the article "Questions that are categorically not worth asking the British" we outlined a number of topics that should be avoided in communication with the inhabitants of Foggy Albion, so as not to run into a hypocritical "cute".
In the understanding of the British, Russians are not very polite and more emotional, but good-natured and very hospitable. In ancient times, a Russian person, leaving the house, left the door open and food ready for the wanderer, and therefore there were legends about the breadth of the Russian soul. Due to their greater emotionality, Russians are characterized by openness, responsiveness and sincerity in communication.
Like other people,I have my own opinion.So today I will tell it to you.I think that Great Britain is called Great,not just for a beautiful name or to show tourists that it is just great.UK is a gorgeous country.British people are so different.Some brits prefer , modern technologies, but some of them have a little house in a small village and they are happy because they like country and quite life.All of them are so industrious,but they don't forget about family! People in the UK honor their family traditions and I think it's great.So I can easily say that the word GREAT in the name of this powerful country isn't only a word,this country is really GREAT!
Перевод: Как и у других людей,у меня есть свое мнение.Так что сегодня я его вам поведаю.Я считаю что Великобритания называется Великой, не просто так чтобы красиво преподнести туристам и завлечь их .Великобритания великолепная страна.Британцы такие разные.Некоторые британцы предпочитают современные технологии,а некоторые из них имеют маленькие домики в небольших деревушках и они счастливы потому что им нравится загородная и спокойная жизнь.Все они такие работящие,но при этом не забывают о семье.Люди в Великобритании чтят свои семейные традиции и я считаю это Великим делом.И так я могу без труда сказать что слово ВЕЛИКИЙ в названии этой сильнейшей страны не просто слово,эта страна действительно ВЕЛИКАЯ!
Rock MusicРок-музыкаMusic plays an integral part in everyone’s life. It’s one of the most important and powerful tools. It can cheer you up when you are sad, help you cope with stress, simply relax and motivate. As for me, I often listen to music: at home, on the way to school, in my dad’s car, when travelling, at parties and in many other occasions. Even though I like almost all types of music, my favourite style is rock. Rock music is the best remedy for me in any situation. I know that its peak of popularity was in the middle of the 20th century. However, it still attracts young people in every corner of the world. Rock is also connected with various youth subcultures, such as punks, hippie, metalheads, goths, emo. Despite its often defiant lyrics, rock music helps to express one’s personality and to release the accumulated emotions. Also, while listening to rock music, people can notice some urgent problems that worry youth. Sometimes people associate rock with rock and roll. The style appeared in the USA of 1950s and soon spread across Europe. One of the most influential figures of rock and roll was Chuck Berry – the Afro-American performer. His music is still respected and cherished. Some of my favourite modern rock bands include Linkin Park, Muse, Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers. My parents think that these bands play aggressive and foolish music, but I don’t agree. In my opinion, rock music makes sense. It’s rather meaningful and melodic.
