Упр.5 Unit 1 Чтение ГДЗ English Кузовлев 10-11 класс

1. What stereotypes about Americans, Russians and the British did the three authors suggest?
2. How different or alike do you think Americans, Russians and the British are?

1. The three authors suggested these stereotypes:

• Americans are often thought to be friendly, open, optimistic and practical, but sometimes superficial and too self-confident.
• Russians are often seen as serious, reserved, strong, patient and hospitable, but sometimes gloomy or unfriendly at first sight.
• The British are usually described as polite, reserved, calm and well-mannered, but sometimes cold, distant and too formal.

2. In my opinion, Americans, Russians and the British are both different and alike. They have different traditions, habits and ways of communication, but they are all people with the same basic feelings, needs and values. So, despite some stereotypes, they are not so different from one another.
