Javier’s English Corner

Have you ever wondered what fish and chips is all about? If your answer is ‘yes’, the following video will give you all the answers. Enjoy!

Last week, you heard a bunch of Americans talk about their feelings towards the French. Today, you are going to hear them talk about the British. Watch the video and decide if the statements below are true or false. At the end of the video, you will see some excerpts with subtitles which focus on adjectives for personality traits. Do you understand all of them? What do you think about the British?

1. Marie thinks the British have no sense of humour.

2. Arnold thinks the Dutch and the British are very different, humour-wise.

3. Kyla’s mother is English, and that’s why she likes them so much.

4. Susan feels the British are stiff and formal.

5. June believes the British are cold and not very open.

6. Sharon once worked for a Briton and she wasn’t very happy about it.

7. Tony has friends in London.
