What reasons or facts you learnt in Units I-VI of this booklet can ex-
plain/support/disprove the following quotations about the English? Give your com-
ment on them.
1. Almost every nation has a reputation of some kind. The French are supposed to
be amorous, gay, fond of champaigne; the Germans dull, formal, efficient, fond
of military uniforms and parades; the Americans boastful, energetic and vulgar.
The English are reputed to be cold, reserved, rather haughty people who do not
yell in the street, make love in public or change their governments as often as
they change their underclothes. They are steady, easy going and fond of
sports…
2. It has been said that the British are suspicious of things in public life which are
logical or systematic…
3. Foreigners often picture the Englishman dressed in tweeds, smoking a pipe,
striding across the open countryside with the dog at his heels…
4. Apart from the conservatism on a grand scale which the attitude to monarchy
typifies, England is full of small-scale and local conservatism, sometimes of a
highly individual or particular character…
5. The English are a nation of stay-at-homes. There is no place like home, they
say. The fire is the focus of the English home…
