X 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.

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 c. sympathize with those who have some trouble understanding English d. often talk impolitely 37.
