How will you describe a typical Englishman?
Almost every nation has a reputation of some kind. The English are reputed to be cold, reserved, rather haughty people who do not yell in the street, make love in public or change their governments as often as they change their underclothes. They love Royal Family.
The English are a nation of stay-at-homes. There is no place like home, they say. English people prefer small houses with a small garden.
Englishmen tend to be rather conservative, they love familiar things. They are hostile, or at least bored, when they hear any suggestion that some modification of their habits, or the introduction of something new and unknown into their lives, might be to their advantage. This conservatism, on a national scale, may be illustrated by reference to the public attitude to the monarchy, an institution which is held in affection and reverence by nearly all English people.
The British people are the world’s greatest tea drinkers. They drink a quarter of all the tea grown in the world each year. Many of them drink tea on at least eight different occasions during the day.
Is it true that Belarusians eat potatoes at all meals?
The best-known symbol of Belarus is potato as we are number 1country in potato consumption in the world. We are even nicknamed “potato-eaters”. Belarusians are true potato-eaters and the potato is even called “the second bread” among people. Also an important place in food of Belarusians belongs to meat, especially beef, pork and salted pork fat. Our national food is very tasty and healthy because we use a lot of vegetables, mushrooms and fish. But of course the main place in our cuisine takes potatoes. I love traditional Belarusian dishes such as draniki, babka and holodnik and recommend these dishes to all foreigners.
What questions will you ask your British friend to find out his/her opinion about our country?
What parts of Belarus have you visited? Which part of Belarus would you like to visit? Do you know any places that belong to our cultural heritage? Do you like our country? Would you like to visit Belarus again?
Your British friend wants to discover Belarusian cuisine. What advice will you give him/her?
1)I would recommend traditional draniki. They are potatoes pancakes, sometimes with meat, mushrooms, eggs and vegetables. They are served with sour cream.
2) Belarus is famous for its cuisine. Many tourists come to our country to try Belarusian food. But I advise to try “draniki”. They are potatoes pancakes, sometimes with meat, mushrooms, eggs and vegetables. They are served with sour cream. I think “draniki” is the tastiest Belarusian dish and every family in our country has its own recipe. Grate raw potatoes, add some salt, pepper, onions and eggs. Fry pancakes and serve with sour cream. I’m sure you will like them.
