Unit 1. My country at a glance. Lesson 4. Discovering England - номер 1, страница 18.

Условие.

Here is an extract from Antoinette Moses' story in which she describes Barbara's stay in England.

1) Find out in which part of the story the author describes the following (read- ing for the main idea):

A. why Barbara came to England

B. what surprised Barbara in Notting Hill most of all

C. Barbara's friends' images of England

D. Barbara's discoveries about the English

E. what Barbara knew about Britain

.......................................

1. "My turn," said James. "Next game: you've got a time capsule and you want to put one thing in it which represents England. What do you choose?"

"A Number Seven Manchester United shirt," said Ben. Number Seven was the shirt worn by David Beckham, who was Ben's personal hero.

"That just represents England now," argued Barbara. "How about a cup of tea?" she suggested.

"No," said James. "No one drinks tea any more. Everyone drinks cappuccino."

.......................................

2. Barbara looked at her friends. There she was in London with a group of Londoners, playing games. She was the first person in her village to go to the scholarship¹ she had won which enabled² her to study at the University of Westminster in London. Her college was right in the centre of London.

.......................................

3. Before she arrived, Barbara had thought that she knew everything about England. She had watched every film about England from her local video shop. She'd watched the film Notting Hill seven times; she couldn't wait to meet Hugh Grant or some other Englishman who looked just like him. She'd also seen some other films, which showed that there were villages in England, a bit like those at home.

Her English teacher had told her. Barbara wondered what the north-south divide looked like. Perhaps it was a bit like the Grand Canyon in America, but smaller.

.......................................

4. It had been a shock arriving in Notting Hill and finding that apart from¹ the Russells, the family she was staying with, most of the other people in the street were black. Notting Hill, she soon discovered, was a centre of Afro-Caribbean culture. When she first arrived, she discovered that despite² her good marks in English at school, she didn't understand a word of the Russells' neighbours, who were English with West Indian parents. Barbara discovered, that in fact they spoke more clearly than lots of the white people she met and they were very friendly.

.......................................

5. One day Barbara met Ben and his friends who met up most evenings to go for something to eat or to see a film.

"The English are strange," said Ben one afternoon.

"Yes," agreed Barbara. Later that night, back in her room, she took out some paper.

"Strange things about the English: Number 1: You may talk about some things, which are good, that you may not talk about, and some things, which are bad, which you may talk about.

You may talk about how much money a person earned, but you may talk about how much money a person spent. In fact, the English students talked about money all the time. You may, also, talk about love but not about illness. In fact, considered Barbara, students in England generally didn't want to talk about anything serious.

Barbara had told her friends about her list and soon they were all making suggestions.

"When the English come back from other countries they always say that a lovely time was. That's because they don't expect people to be friendly, because they aren't friendly to foreigners," said James.

"No," said Barbara, "everyone's been really nice to me since I got here."

3. learned many things about English people. (Русский: узнала много нового об англичанах.)

5. Изменились ли представления Барбары об Англии? Что нового она узнала об Англии? Подтвердите свой ответ текстом.

Ответ:

Yes, Barbara's ideas about England changed completely. Before she arrived, she thought England was just like in the films, especially "Notting Hill", and that all Englishmen looked like Hugh Grant. However, she learned that England is very multicultural, which was a "shock" for her in Notting Hill. She also discovered modern cultural habits, like people drinking cappuccino instead of tea, as James mentioned. Finally, she learned about the unwritten social rules of the English, such as which topics are acceptable to discuss, writing that there are "things that are bad, which you may talk about, and some things, which are good, that you may not talk about."

Да, представления Барбары об Англии полностью изменились. До приезда она думала, что Англия такая же, как в фильмах, особенно в «Ноттинг-Хилл», и что все англичане похожи на Хью Гранта. Однако она узнала, что Англия очень многонациональна, что стало для нее «шоком» в Ноттинг-Хилле. Она также открыла для себя современные культурные привычки, например, что люди пьют капучино вместо чая, как упомянул Джеймс. Наконец, она узнала о неписаных социальных правилах англичан, например, о том, какие темы приемлемы для обсуждения, написав, что есть «вещи плохие, о которых можно говорить, и вещи хорошие, о которых говорить нельзя».

6. Почему рассказ называется «Ноттинг-Хилл»?

Ответ:

The text provided is only an extract, so we don't know the real title of the story. However, if the story is called "Notting Hill", it is likely because this London district is central to Barbara's experience. It is the place where her preconceived ideas, based on the film of the same name, clash with reality. Her culture shock and her most important discoveries about modern multicultural Britain happen in Notting Hill.

Представленный текст является лишь отрывком, поэтому мы не знаем настоящего названия рассказа. Однако, если рассказ называется «Ноттинг-Хилл», то, вероятно, потому, что этот район Лондона является центральным в опыте Барбары. Это место, где ее предвзятые представления, основанные на одноименном фильме, сталкиваются с реальностью. Ее культурный шок и самые важные открытия о современной многонациональной Британии происходят именно в Ноттинг-Хилле.
