Look at the people in the photograph. They're sitting close

: This is how the world usually sees Londoners:quiet,

gently. But how accurate is this impression? We

asked three residents of London to give their opinions.

$am, age 18. British, born in London.

'l don't think Londoners are particularly miserable- in fact,

we liked good joke.But we're probably a bit gloomy and

pessimistic. When it comes to sport, for example,we cheer

on the British competitors and teams, but we aren't really

surprisedw hen they lose.W e accept underachievemenats the

norm. I think Amenicans ane different: they expect to win.'

Joanna, age 19. Polish living in London for a year.

'l think Londonenas re reallyc old and unfriendlyP. eopleh ene

don't chat - they don't say hello to their neighbours, and

some of them wouldn'te venn ecogniseth eir neighboursin the

street. I find it difficult to make fr iends here. In fact, I spend

most of my time with Poles, not English people. People claim

that the English ane nice when you get to know them, but how

can you get to know them when they'ne so uncommunicative?'

Amir, age l7. British, born in London, Pakistani parents.

'London is a tnuly multicultural city. I think it's true to say that

more than one in three of the city's population belong to an

ethnic minonityg roup,a nd you can heana bout 3OO differeht

CULTURE NOTES - LONDONERS

The title of the text; Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner

Comes from a famous song written by Hubert Gregg in

1947. It has become a kind of anthem for London.

A Londoner is a person from London. In this case,adding

-er makes the word describe a person. lt isn't the same

for all cities. A. person from Manchester for example, is a

Mancunian and a person from Liverpool is a Liverpudlion.

· Focus on the instructors. Tell students that when they

listen for the first time they only need to try to get a general

understanding of what the teenagers are saying and to write

down their nationatities.

· With a weaker class, pre-teach a few key words or phrases that you

think the students are unlikely to know.

TRANSCRIPT 1.02

1 Rosana | love Brazilians- but maybe that’s because I’m from Brazil! The best thing

about them is, they laugh a lot and they smile a lot. If you walk down the street,

you see lots of smiles! Another thing is that they’re always willing to share what they’ve got

with you; even if they haven’t got very much themselves…They’re not all at mean.

2 Ethan I'm from New York in the USA, It’s an enormous country, of course, and people are

different in different parts of the States. But I think there are some characteristics that are

typical and that are shared by Americans across the country. Let me give you an example.

In general, Americans work hard-they start work early, finish late, and they don’t have

long holidays. In my opinion, they’re proud of their country, and very proud to be American,

whatever their ethnic background.

3 Junko I 'm not typically Japanese – I’m probably more life an Australian, because I’ve

lived here in Australia for years now. Japanese people have got good manners and show

respect to other people, especially people they don’t know. In fact sometimes they can be

rather formal. Personally, I’m not! Another difference between me and other Japanese is

that I’m very open, even with people I don’t know. Japanese people often hide their feelings.

They don’t like other people to know what they are thinking or feeling.

4 Carlos I'm from Spain – from the south, near Seville. I think Spanish people, in general,

Are quite warm – hearted and they like meeting new people and making new friends. The

Spanish don’t like to sit in silence – they like talking – they can away for hours on end.

That’s my opinion, anyway.

TRADE EXHIBITIONS AND FAIRS

Trade fairs and exhibitions usually attract thousands of visitors and many potential buyers among them. So firms and enterprises never lose a chance to exhibit theirs products at international fairs and exhibitions both abroad and at home. They help promote our goods to new markets and launch new products in the markets already developed. A great deal of profitable business is done at commercial centers at exhibitions: new contracts are made, new transactions are concluded, new orders are placed and new markets are established. This work goes on after the exhibitions as well: enquiries are sent out for the goods our national economy requires and offers are made for the products partners are interested in.

There are traditional fairs and exhibitions that are held annually, for example, the Leipzig fair is organized twice a year - in spring and in autumn in Germany, the Plovdiv fair in Bulgaria or the Sorochyntsi Fair in Ukraine.

Also, there are fairs and exhibitions organized on and off and devoted to scientific achievements in this or that field of national economy. They are called accordingly: "Chemistry - 2010". "Automation - 2012", "Building - 2013", "EnterEx -2013", etc.

New words:

to promote goods to new markets - просувати товари на нові ринки; a chance - можливість, шанс;
