поведения в разных странах
Краткое описание:
Урок - беседа.
Учитель рассказывает об
особенностях поведения в Великобритании. Учащиеся рассказывают о тех культурных
особенностях, о которых уже знают и сравнивают типовые ситуации с манерами в
России и другими странами, с культурой которых они знакомы. Обсуждают сходства
и различия, применяя накопленную лексику по пройденным темам. Урок носит
неформальный характер, что призвано улучшить атмосферу в классе, расположить
учащихся к разговору на английском языке, тем самым тренеруя разговорные навыки
и умения каждого учащегося.
Основные формы работы на уроке это
диалог и дискуссия.
Оборудование: листы с конспектом
урока, используя который учащимся будет легче строить свои ответы.
When you first meet someone it can be
difficult to know how to start a conversation, especially if your first
language is not English.
Which topics are safe for small
talk?
- Introductions, eg "Hello. May I
introduce myself? My name is Mark"
- Travel, eg "Did you manage to find
here OK?" or "Did you have a good journey?"
- Family, eg "How is your
family?" (but only if you already know about the person's family)
- Hospitality, eg "Can I get you
something to eat or drink?"
- The weather, eg "It's a lovely day
today, isn't it?"
- Holidays, eg "Are you going
anywhere this weekend?" or "Are you going anywhere on holiday this
year?"
- Nature, eg "The garden looks
lovely, doesn't it?"
- Pets, eg "What a lovely dog. What
is his name?" (British people love dogs or cats)
- General news, eg "What do you think
about the recent floods?" (but safer to avoid gossip and politics)
- Films, eg "Have you seen the film
Bridget Jones's Diary?"
- Television, eg "Did you see The X
Factor last night?"
- Music, eg "What sort of music do
you like?"
- Books, eg "Have you read any good
books recently?" (but only if you know the person likes reading)
- Sport, eg "Have you been watching
Wimbledon?" (note that many British people, especially men, enjoy talking
about football)
- Hobbies, eg "What do you enjoy
doing in your spare time?"
- Business, eg "How's your business
going?" (but only ask if you know the person has a business)
- Studies, eg "What are you
studying?" (but only ask if you know the person is a student)
- Work, eg "What sort of work do you
do?"
- Food, eg "I had a lovely Chinese
meal last night - do you like Chinese food?"
- General matters about the person you are
talking to, eg "Have you lived in this area long?"
- General matters on subjects that you
know that interests the person you are talking to, eg cars, film stars etc
Which topics are best avoided for
small talk?
You may need to be careful when you talk
about some topics, especially with people that you've only just met, people who
are older than you, people who appear to have strong religious or political
views, or people who may have some personal problems or sensitivities. For
example, be cautious if you discuss these subjects:
- Age, eg "How old are you?"
- Appearance or weight, eg "You seem
to have put on some weight"
- Personal gossip about somebody you know
- Jokes that might offend (especially
sexist or racist jokes)
- Money, eg "How much do you
earn?"
- Previous or current relationships, eg
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
- Politics, eg "Who did you vote for
at the last election?"
- Religion, eg "Do you believe in
God?"
- Criticisms or complaints, eg "Why
is British food so bad?"
When should I leave a tip?
There are a number of situations in which
it is common to leave a tip (sometimes called a gratuity), although you should
not feel that you have to do this if you cannot afford to do so or if you were
not happy with the service provided.
- Restaurant or café
Usually people only pay a tip in a
restaurant or café when there is a waiter service (not for takeaway meals or self-service
meals). Normally people add about 10% to the bill and make the amount a whole
number of pounds. Check the menu and the bill to see if a service charge is
already included in the price. For example, it may say: "A discretionary
10% service charge has been included" or "service is included",
or you may just see that 10% has been added at the bottom of the bill (you can
refuse to pay this part if you were unhappy with the service). If the service
charge is not included the bill may say "Service charge not included"
or "Gratuities are at the customer's discretion".
- Hairdresser's
It is common for people to leave a small
tip (maybe one or two pounds) as a tip.
- Taxi
It is common to add 10% to the taxi fare.
For more details about paying for taxis, see: Travel/Transport/Taxis.
- Hotel
You may want to give a small tip (perhaps
1 or 2 pounds) when a member of hotel staff gives you a special service. For
example, a tip may be appropriate if a porter carries your baggage to your room
when you arrive, if the concierge helps you (for example by helping you to buy
tickets, book a restaurant or plan your shopping or sightseeing, or by keeping
your bags safe before check-in or after check-out) or if a doorman finds a taxi
for you. It is more polite if you do not show the money when you are giving it
- put it in your hand, say thank you, shake the person's hand and press the
money into the person's hand.
Drinking tea
Do not pour the tea from a teapot as soon
as it has been made; leave it for a minute or two.
If the teapot contains loose tea, place
the tea strainer onto the cup before pourring.
Milk can be added to the cup either before
or after pourring the tea.
Once the teapot is half-empty, or if the
tea is too strong for you, pour the hot water into the teapot.
Eating scones
Use a knife to cut the scone into two
halves. Put jam on each side (there is no need to add butter first), then
spread clotted cream on top carefully. Eat the top and bottom halves separately
(do not try to make them into a sandwich). Some people prefer to add the jam on
top of the cream, although this can be more difficult.
Ordering food in a pub
See: Britain/Food/Pubs
Understanding the menu
"Could you explain what ____ is
please?"
"Could you tell me what the soup of the
day is, please?"
"Could you tell me today's specials,
please?"
Using cutlery and plates
In general, if there are several pieces of
cutlery, use forks, knives or spoons on the outside first
If there is a side plate for eating bread
rolls, use the plate on your left-hand side. Put some butter on the side of the
plate. Tear bread from the roll, then add butter just before eating it.
Eat soup quietly, without lifting the bowl
off the table.
Eating peas
To be very polite, you should eat peas by
squashing them against the reverse side of your fork
Asking for more
If at someone's home, you shouldn't ask
for more unless your host offers it by asking, "Would you like some
more?" or, "Would you like seconds?"
Possible answers include "Yes
please", "Just a little bit, please", or to say no, it is best
to say something like "That was lovely, but I'm full, thank you"
Dinner parties
If you cannot eat a certain type of food
or have some special needs, tell your host several days before the dinner
party.
Arrive on time, but try to avoid being
early in case your host is not ready.
Take a bottle of wine or some flowers or
chocolates to give to the host as soon as you have arrived.
Going to the toilet
"Excuse me. Could you tell me where
the toilet is, please?" (in someone's house)
"Excuse me. Could you tell me where
the ladies / gents is, please?" (in a cafe or restaurant)
Asking for the bill
"May I have the bill, please?"
If the bill says "service not
included", it is usual to add about 10% to the bill.
In some restaurants, a 10% service charge
is automatically added to the bill
