Sometimes Britain is called a strange island
because some customs and manners differ from those accepted in other countries.
There are some tips to help you get on well with the English on your visit to
their wonderful country. First of all don’t forget to repeat the phrase “It’s
a nice day today, isn’t it?” It helps you to break ice with strangers. When you
are invited to someone’s house, you should either arrive on time or no later
than fifteen minutes after the time arranged. In Britain they don’t take off
their shoes entering home. Gifts are not supposed to be expensive. In Britain
foreigners are usually expected to give typical objects from their country as
gift. British people, as a rule, give chocolate or small presents to their
relatives or friends, receiving gifts they usually open the box in your
presence to express their admiration.
As for queue, wait patiently when a group of
people have queues for service. Never jump queue waiting for a bus. Keep your
distance talking to a person. Stay at least an arm’s length away. The British
are well- mannered people. They like everything to be done properly. So don’t
lift a soup bowl to your mouth and eat noisily. It is a joke, of course. Try to
avoid saying ‘’ no’’ directly. You may sound rude.

Thousands of years ago the people of Britain were
pagans. In their religions, the sun, the moon, the winds, rain, animals and
trees were all important, and they had festivals for them.
When Christianity came to Britain, the people
wanted to keep some of their old festivals. Halloween, Christmas, Saint
Valentine’s Day and Easter are all examples of this.
Today many people celebrate these festivals.
Food family and flowers are the important part of most celebrations. Most
people have a big family dinner at Christmas. People today often live far away
from their families, so they send greeting cards at special times like
Christmas. The cards say things like: ’’Thinking of you across the miles’’. Other
people try to get back home. Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year.
As Christmas comes nearer, everyone is buying
Christmas presents for friends and relatives. At Christmas parents try to give
their children everything they want. Children count the weeks, then the days,
to Christmas.
On Christmas Eve families and friends gather for
the festivities. Housewives are busy preparing food, and children are sent to
bed. They are told that if they don’t go to sleep, Father Christmas will not
bring them any presents. There is a tradition that children should put a long
sock called a Christmas stocking at the end of their bed or by the chimney or
hang it by the fireplace so that Santa Claus will fill it with presents. Santa
Claus is supposed to visit each house on Christmas Eve by climbing down the
chimney.

A MISTAKE
Mark Twain was very fond of traveling. He did a
lot of traveling and never got tired of it. Once he was traveling in France by
train. He was going to visit a small town near Paris.
The previous day was very hard, Mark Twain was
very tired and sleepy. He was afraid he would miss the town and asked the guard
to wake him up before they got to the town.
Soon he fell asleep. When he woke up, the train
was in Paris. Mark Twain looked at his watch. It was half past nine. He got
very angry. He couldn’t understand why the guard had not woken him up in time.
He went out of the compartment, came up to the
guard and asked him why he had not woken him up. The latter looked at Mark
Twain for a moment and then told him: “You may be very angry with me, but not
so angry as the American whom I put off the train instead of you.”

THEY MIXED UP EVERYTHING
Three young men came to a little station in the
country and asked when the train to London was leaving. They were told that it
was leaving at 10 o’clock.
So they had a lot of time and they went to the
bar, took a drink and had a very good time. They forgot about the time, and
when they came to the platform, their train was just leaving. They rushed along
platform trying to catch the train. Two of them ran very fast and managed to
jump on the steps of the last carriage. But the third man remained on the
platform.
The station master approached him to wonder what
the matter was. He was very surprised to see that the man was laughing.
“What’s the matter with you?” asked the station
master. “Why are you laughing?”
“Oh,” said the young man, “Did you see those two
