Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country.
However, this is not necessary true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we
actually know about the culture of this country. Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous

because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information
they contain is untrue. In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything they
thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen,
village inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these
characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interests of ordinary British people. They are, in
fact, simply stereotype- that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical. What is surprising is that they
were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of
their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be!
36. If we stay a long time in a foreign country,………
a. we will sometimes forget about culture of your own country
b. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country
c. we will usually realize our own ignorance about its culture
d. we can seldom find out anything about at all about its culture
37. It’s hard to learn about a country’s culture from books because such books………….
a. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign country b. exaggerate national character
c. take no notice of cultural differences d. contain little information about culture
38. When asked about their own culture, many British people……
a. argued they knew little British culture b. said they themselves were not typical of British people
c. gave incorrect answer d. were surprised by the question asked
39. It is easy to……….
a. know a lot about your own country’s culture b. know the culture of other countries
c. give exact information about your own country d. describe stereotypes of your country
40. Which of the following is not mentioned as a typical thing of Britain in the survey?

Americans are usually tolerant of non-native speakers who have some trouble understanding English. But they become
annoyed when a person pretends to understand but does not really and then creates problems because of
misunderstanding what was said. No one wants ‘soap’ when he asks for ‘soup’. So, if you do not understand what is
said to you, admit it and ask the person to repeat or explain.
It is quite rude to converse with a companion in your native language and leave your American friends standing there

feeling stupid because they cannot understand the conversation. They may also feel that you are talking about them or
saying something that you do not want them to hear. If you must use your native language to explain something to a
non-English-speaking companion, at least translate for your American friends so that they do not feel left out.
You should learn a few more polite English expressions, and you will be ready to face the world of Americans with
confidence. The polite response to a compliment about your looks or your words is ‘thank you’ – a smile and a nod is
not enough. The response to ‘thank you’ is, of course, ‘You are welcome’. If someone asks ‘How are you?’, do not give
your medical history. But just say, ‘Fine, thanks. And you?’. What should you say when someone sneezes? It may not
seem logical, but the correct response is ‘God bless you’.
36. Americans……….
a. do not like those who cannot speak English
b. would rather someone pretended to understand what they say
