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.

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.

9. I supposed that she knew English very well.
10. We were sure that our sportsmen would win the game.
