Unwritten behaviour rules in Britain (с 42)
Each country has own unwritten behaviour rules. I’d like to tell you about some of them in Britain.
British people don’t say “Good appetite” to people who are having meals. They don’t take shoes off when they enter someone’s home.
The British usually arrive at exact time. They greet their friend as many times as they meet them during the day. They usually give even or uneven number of flowers.
British people try not to jump the queue and ask about age.
They also try not to talk loudly and stare at anyone in public.
Travelling (стр 66)
Most people spend part of their holidays away from home and many go abroad. More people can afford foreign holidays nowadays. As a result, the number of travel agences in Britain is growing. The tourist boom started in the 1960s when travel agents offered package holidays.
A “package” usually includes transport tickets, accommodation, meals and sometimes excursions or guided coach tours. Some people however don’t like organised travelling and prefer to go on their own.
It is in fashion nowadays for people to take two holidays in the year. The first holiday is a relaxing holiday, and the second is an “activity” holiday, such as climbing or winter sports somewhere in Austria or Switzerland.
