To the question “Describe the Englishman”, many of you would answer: “Stiff, polite, love tea and always talk about the weather.” The opinion of most readers would be based on well-known stereotypes that are not always true.
An important role in creating such stereotypes is played by the literary works of the most famous Russian and English writers: the vivid artistic image of the heroes leaves a trace in our memory for a long time and forms an attitude towards a particular nation. Here is an example from the novel Orlando by the English writer Virginia Woolf:
1 my flat is good (i have a good flat/apartment) 2 she has got a brother 3 we have got twenty thin notebooks (sheets) 4 she has got a clean paper 5 my friends have got a good english book 6 my sister has got a big family 7 today these students have an english lesson 8 he has got two sisters 9 i have got three bottles of milk 10 she is not a student. she is a doctor 11 we are at an institute now and they are at home 12 where is my book? - it is on the table 13 her father is an engineer. he is at the factory now 14 my friends are young artists 15 her brother is an architector. 16 where is your brother? 17 who is your sister (what kind of occupation she does?) (или можно сказать (what does she do for a living - кем она работает)
