Mr. Priestly and his family.

"I'd, like to tell you about Mr. Priestly and his family. He is a teacher. Нe tea­ches English, French and German, and he speaks and reads and writes these lan­guages very well.

He is not a young man, but he is not old. He is about forty-four or forty-five years old. He is a good—looking man, tall, handsome, rather thin, with dark brown hair just beginning to go grey. He is always very well—dressed, but quietly, in good taste. He usually wears suits of dark brown, dark blue or dark grey. He speaks quietly and pleasantly, but there is strength under his quietness, and every student in his class knows this. He is quiet and pleasant because he is strong. Strength is generally quiet; weakness often is not. He reads many books and writes his books for his students.

His wife, Mrs. Priestly is a pleasant—looking woman of about forty, with warm brown hair and soft dark-brown eyes. She is kind and gentle, but she manages her house very well. Her husband, of course, a clever man but a little unpractical, and he needs Mrs. Priestly to look after him. She, on the one hand, is very practical and full of common sense.

The couple has two children, John and Margaret. John is eighteen, six foot tall, and a fine manly fellow. He is at the university and he is studying to be a doctor. He is a clever, hard-working student, a first-class footballer, boxer, and runner. He is strong both in body and character, and quiet and thoughtful like his father. He will make a good doctor.

Margaret is only seven. She is a lovely little girl with golden hair and dark blue eyes and a spirit that is always bright and happy, full of joy and gaiety. She is not fond of study of any kind, but she loves music and dancing and she sings very prettily. She is like a ray of sunshine in the house. Mr. Priestly is very fond of his son John and very proud of him; and Margaret is the apple of his eye.

3. Retell about the students:

Mr. Priestley’s students: Jan.

He is generally early. He does not like to be a minute late for his lessons. He is not only very clever, but he is also a very hard worker and likes to do everything well. He has rather dark brown hair and good grey eyes. He is not very tall, but he is strong, swims well, and is a good footballer.

Lucille.

She is beautiful and rich and gay. She is tall and slim with big dark eyes and black hair. She goes out to dinner or a dance or a theatre almost every evening and does not generally get to bed until very late at night or rather, early in the morning. So, you see, Lucille does not do very much work.

Olaf.

He is six foot three tall; he can work and climb all day and he never feels tired. He is as strong as a horse. He has blue eyes and yellow hair. He does not talk much, but he thinks a lot.

Pedro.

He is very handsome, tall and dark and well-dressed. He is rich and clever, too. He does everything well. He is Spanish, but he speaks English and French very well; he goes everywhere and can talk well almost everything—music, pictures, other countries, literature and life.

Frieda.

She has brown hair and big grey eyes. She does not talk much; she is rather quiet, but is very kind and nice; they all like her. I think that she is pretty, and so do all the other students_, except Jan; he thinks that she is beautiful.

Hob.

He is not handsome or hard working оr clever. But he thinks that he is all these. He does not like swimming or football. He thinks that they are too much like hard work. He does not like study. He says that study makes him tired. He is not polite, and he is not well-dressed. He doesn't always listen to lessons in class. He isn't quiet, he talks a lot. He is a good eater and good sleeper. But he is good-hearted and loves a joke. He knows a lot of funny stories and he always wants to tell them.

12 Read the text and describe your ….?

The attitude of people to a person depends on many things: his character, mind, manners, behavior_, abilities and appearance.

I have many friends, but Jane Brown and Andy Johnson are my special friends. Andy is tall and lean. Jane is middle-sized (of medium height). She isn't slim_, she is pretty plump. Andy is strong and well-built. As for Jane, she doesn't care about her figure. She is never on a diet and hates doing morning exercises. That's why she often puts on weight.

John took after his father in appearance and character. His face is long and thin. His features are regular and stern a bit. His complexion is ruddy fair, dark, clear. His forehead is broad (doomed) and high (low, narrow). He has got large (small) wide-set (close-set) and deep-set eyes. They are hazel. People re­member his eyes because they are piercing (curious, prying). His nose is straight (aquiline, hooked). His chin is pointed (protruding, round, square). His cheeks are hollow (plump, chubby). He has got thin (full, thick) lips. He is a brunette (blond). He has got chestnut (auburn, red, dark, black) straight (wavy, curly) thick (thin) hair.

Jane looks like (resembles) her mother. She is a blue-eyed girl. Everybody admires her expressive shining eyes. She has got thick long curving eyelashes. Her eyebrows are penciled (bushy, arched), her nose is small and snub (turned up) Jane has plump cheeks with dimples in them. She never worries about her hairdo (hairstyle) because she has got beautiful, long, thick, curly (wavy) hair. She thinks she would look nicer with a short haircut, and she wants to change the color of her hair, but her mother doesn't let her to do it. To look more attractive she sometimes wears make up: she puts a little black mascara on her eyelashes and some eye shadow on her eyelids. She hates lipstick and never ap­plies it (puts it on) because she believes that her well-cut lips are good enough.

As for their character, I like them both. Let me give a touch on Jane's character. lt is easy to get along with her. People find her sociable and easy­going. Nobody can call her selfish (unselfish), greedy (generous), ill-bread (well bread), angry (kind). She is reserved, modest (shy) and good tempered (hot-tempered). I think she is of a romantic nature, she is interested in music, art, theatre. She is keen on literature especially she likes poems. She is good in writing verses.

A lot of my classmates envy that my best (good_, bosom, true, faithful) friend is Andy. I respect many traits of his character. He is honest, brave (courageous) and cheerful with a good sense of humor. He is always the life and the sole of the party. I am proud of my friends because they are caring, faithful (sym­pathetic) arid sincere. They are ready to help you when it is necessary.

We have much in common, we spend plenty of time together and i appreciate their charming (magnetic, dynamic, striking, strong) personalities more than their appearance (look).

February 12

Dear Miguei,

How are your? I’m Ane. Here’s a letter in English. It’s good practice for you and me!

I have classes in English at La Guardia Community College. I’m in a class with eight students. They are all from different countries: Japan, Brazil, Switzerland, Poland, and Italy. Our teacher’s name is Isabel. She’s very nice and a very good teacher.

I live in an apartment with two American girls, Annie and Marnie Kass. They are sisters. Annie’s twenty years old and she is a dancer. Marnie’s eighteen and she is a student. They’re very friendly, but it isn’t easy to understand them. They speak very fast!

New York is very big, very exciting but very expensive! The subway isn’t difficult to use and it’s cheap. It’s very cold now but Central Park is lovely in the snow. I’m very happy here.

Write to me soon.

Love,

Dorita

Several Britons of different ages were asked some questions concerning stereotyped associations. What impressions of Britons can you get from their answers?

Do you think you are typically English? What associations do you have with the words “typically English?”

Terry T. — I’m definitely not typically English. I’m American. I've been living in the UK for about fifteen years. I have several stereotyped associations with these words which include the following: pinstriped suit, umbrella, tea with milk, fish and chips, Shakespeare, Turner and Constable, Byron, Keats, Shelley, Dickens, Jane Austen, the Queen, Buckingham Palace, and Piccadilly Circus.

Robert N. — No, I'm not. I’m a polite, reserved sometimes shy person.

Simon B. — Yes.

Ann B. — Yes, I suppose so.

Greg B. — Only in some respects. I suppose what we mean by "typically English" is someone who is usually cool and reserved, though helpful to strangers; convinced of the superiority of British institutions, especially the monarchy; proud of our history; unable to speak any other language and suspicious of foreign people and food. I suppose I’m mostly proud of our history. Also I tend to be cool and reserved with strangers, though I do try to be helpful. But I detest the monarchy, I speak French fairly well and I like people and food from other countries.

John M. — I think foreigners can answer this question better than me.

Sara J. — No. There is no such thing.

Do you agree with the opinion that the English are reserved and unemotional? How and why do

you think this stereotype has appeared?

Terry T. - I think that Englishmen are reserved, but I don't think they are unemotional. I believe they control their emotions because they are taught that it is best not to show their feelings. I don't know how and why this attitude has developed.

Robert N. — I think they are reserved but not unemotional. They have the ability to control themselves in difficult situations.

Simon B. — No. Many English people — not just men — are unemotional, but many are very willing to show their feelings.

Аnn В. — Not really. This stereotype appeared in the class system of Victorian England, 100 years ago.

Greg B. — Yes, it's true that most Englishmen are 'uptight’ in the sense of not feeling comfortable about letting strong emotions show.

John. M. — It is part of our culture not to show emotions, so people have difficulty in expressing emotion. But this is changing.

Sara J. — This applies to the upper-middle class English person and is a result of repressive schooling. It only applies to a minority however — thank goodness.

What is your attitude towards Immigrants? Are you tolerant towards people of other cultures and backgrounds?

Terry T. — I hope so. I teach immigrants and help them to adjust to life in Britain. In working with many people from different countries I have become more aware of the difficulties they face.

Robert N. — I hope so.

Simon B. — I am tolerant. We should regard them as ourselves...

Ann B. — Yes, I have positive attitudes towards them, interest in them and the intention to contribute to good race relations in general.

Greg B. — I hope I am tolerant — certainly I welcome the cultural diversity that immigration has brought to Britain, and would hate it if everyone was assimilated into a uniform mass.

John M. — I regard it as one of the advantages of living in inner-city Birmingham that I share in a multiethnic community. It adds to the richness of life.

Sara J. — My father was an immigrant to Britain from Pakistan, and he has had difficulty settling in Britain. There is racial intolerance in this country, but this is worse in the generation born before 1950 or so. Young people are more ready to accept other cultures in general.

Are similar facts true for your country?

More and more people are living to be 100 years old. There are now 4,400 centenarians in Britain -10 times more than there were 40 years ago. Professor Grimley Evans of Oxford University believes that future generations will live even longer, to 115 years and more. Here are the stories of three people who have lived to be 100.

Alice Patreon-Smythe

Alice Patreon-Smythe was born just over 100 years ago in Edinburgh. She now lives in Norfolk. She drove ambulances in the First World War, and worked as a school secretary until she retired. She has been widow for 25 years and has three children, six grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. She smoked quite a lot when she was a young girl but she gave up when she was 68 because she had a heart attack. Her nineties were the best years of her life because her millionaire grandson took her on his airplane to visit Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Miami. She says: ^“I love lire. I play golf once a week and do Latin American dancing, and I eat lots of fruit and vegetables. We are a long-lived family - my mother was 95 when she died.”

Tommy Harrison

Tommy Harrison is exactly 100 years old. He's a retired engineer. His wife, Maude, died 14 years ago. They had no children and now he lives alone in his flat in Bristol. Tommy has smoked ail his life. First he smoked cigarettes, about 10 a day, but 40 years ago he changed to a pipe. He has only been ill once in his life, and that was just before the First World War, when he had rheumatic fever. The only time he visits his doctor is to get a certificate to say that he can still drive his car. Every day he has a full English breakfast - bacon, eggs, toast and marmalade. He has only been abroad once, to France during the war. He says: “I still go dancing and swimming but I don't want tо live for ever, perhaps 12 more months. My father lived until he was 99.”
