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. - Will you fly to the sea or go by train? - I will fly; my flight is tomorrow morning. 2. - Whom were you talking to when I met you in the shop? - To my friend. We did shopping together. 3. - How can I get to he station? - I will take you in my car. I am going to the station myself. 4. - Usually Mary makes mistakes in her spelling, but yesterday she did the spelling test rather badly. I hope she is learning the new words now. 5. They were walking in silence for a long time and then Ben turned to Johnny and smiled, "Why didn't you ever tell me about your family?" he asked. 6. If someone calls, tell them I will be free after seven.
