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. I was affraid that you would fall and break your leg.
2.I knew that my friend had never been to Washington.
3. I was told that she never drank milk.
4. We were told that he was a very talented singer.
5. We knew that they lived a happy life.
6. She thought that the children were playing in the yard.
7. She hoped that her friend would come to see her.
8. He thought that father had repaired his bicycle.
9. I supposed that she knew English very well.
10. We were sure that our sportsmen would win the game.
11. I found out that he did not know German at all.
12. She was glad that she had made no mistakes in her dictation.
13. I knew that he worked at his English hard.
14. I was told that she danced better than anybody else.
