ANSWERS
English people never have a shower but a bath… FALSE !
English people are normal people. They have showers just like us.
English people drink lots of water when they are eating… FALSE !
During the diner, English people usually drink fizzy drinks, sodas or wine (for adults). It’s
different from France where each family has water on its table. Even for the breakfast, some
persons drink soft drinks. There is also another tradition: English people consume a lot of
tea, till four times…
TEA MINUTE
Since colonial times, the English were used to lake black tea blends
original (Darjeeling, Indonesia, Ceylon), measured according to the
time of the day: teas stronger in the morning and lighter in the
afternoon. The most famous tea brands are PGtibs, Twining and
Ahmad tae.
English people love French food and France. TRUE !
To English people, the traditional French food looks very good. They like bread (baguette),
wine, cheese… French gastronomy in general. The France is chic and a fashionable country.
In England, the weather is good one day out of two... FALSE !
In England, it always rains but it’s not one day out of two…
Maybe, the weather is nice with an amazing sun and just after
that the run is here! It’s unpredictable! About the temperature,
it’s not really better; for example in summer it reaches at
maximum 25°C, so it’s not really hot. England is closer to the
Antarctic Circle than to the Equator, that’s why the weather is
like that.
English people are formally dressed… FALSE !
In England, we can see lots of different styles
especially in London. It’s not as formal as in France.
People won’t judge you. They wear lots of colors (hair
and clothes) and extravagant clothes. Teenagers
should have an uniform for school, so outside they let
their self go! Girls dress with short dress or skirt, they
try to be original.
In England, people usually don’t smoke in the street… TRUE !
In England, England has the most stringent smoking devices in
Europe and the world. In this country, no ads may be made on
the cigarette. In addition, it is prohibited to sell or smoking in
restaurants. The recent action taken by the government on
tobacco control provides no packet should be visible on the
shelves of major distributions. They should be stored in closed
cabinets or hiding shelves so that young people don’t see it. So a
lot of people don’t smoke in the street. It’s propriety.
In England, each house has carpet… TRUE !
In England, we can always see different kinds of carpets! Even on
the walls! The evolution of carpeting has been affecting by social,
economical and fashion pressures.
It’s fashionable in England that’s why everybody has one.
English people drink lots of alcohol… TRUE !
English people drink a lot of alcohol as we have seen they don’t
smoke a lot. In England, there is principally a big production of
beers like Ireland.
English people like French people. They think that French are very
polite and welcoming. FALSE!
English people don’t like French people because they have a history of bad
blood between each other dating back to ancient times. Celts and Gaul use to battle
religiously. Moreover, French people are famous to be rude and distant with
foreigners. This is different of English people who are really welcoming and
polite. For example, when you’re in their home, unlike French people, they
always ask you if you want something to drink or to eat. So we can say they
often take care of you.
English people eat very early… TRUE!
Indeed, English people eat very early. In many European
countries it is normal to have a long break in the middle of
the day when all members of the family return to their
houses to eat together. This is not very common in Britain
because normally it is a long way from the place of work or
school to the home. Consequently the British people tend to
have a big breakfast before they go to work and the meal at
midday isn’t spent with the members of the family but with
workmates or schoolmates. Lunch is normally eaten between
12.30 or 1.30pm. Most people finish work at five thirty. So, It
often takes at least an hour to get home from the school or
workplace so people tend to eat their evening meal or
"dinner" between 6.30pm and 8pm.
English people eat junk food everywhere and all the time… TRUE!
English people, generally teenagers eat junk food everywhere and all the
time because, in England there are vending machines everywhere;
sometimes, in the street or station and schools. So, people attract to buy
something all the time. And they make a habit of nibbling.
