HOW DO OTHERS SEE THE AMERICANS

 

A Many people who first come to the USA say that Americans are open, friendly and easy-going, but after living in the country for a while, they change their minds. One foreign student explained that when he first came, people helped him get settled, took him shopping, invited him for dinner, and called to see how he was. After two or three weeks, however, they stopped doing these things, and he was confused and disappointed.

B The thing is Americans try to do what is necessary to help people when they first arrive. They do many things to help these people get settled and often make the new arrivals feel like a part of the family. Newcomers expect this new hospitality to continue in the form of a solid friendship. However Americans expect that once people are settled and have been there for a few weeks, they will begin to do things for themselves and become independent.

C In the United States time is exact. People plan activities and arrange their lives around specific time. For example in the United States, one should always arrive on time for dinner, a date, or a business appointment. If other people are expected for dinner or for a meeting and you are late, everyone else will have to wait until you arrive to begin.

D Americans are fond of greeting cards. They are printed not only for birthdays and anniversaries, Christmas but also for graduation, Valentine's Day, and many other events. Some business people send cards to clients to maintain good-will.

Wales and the Welsh

A Wales is a lovely country. Though, there is no "frontier", no Customs officers, no armed guard at the boundary between England and Wales, you know immediately that you are in Wales; you soon hear Welsh being spoken and see long Welsh names on sign-posts and railway stations, most often beginning with "Llan" – Llanderis, Llandudno, Llanfair, etc.

B The countryside is lovely with great mountains, some of them beautiful and green, others are bare and wild. There are gentle valleys with little farmhouses or cottages scattered on the slopes of the mountains and quiet lakes or rivers running down to the coast which is only twenty or thirty miles away, in some places the mountains run right down into the sea.

C The Welsh people are almost purely Celtic, who escaped intermixture with the invaders and they love their country dearly. Unlike the Englishman, who has spread his empire to the four corners of the Earth, the Welshman has never been an empire-builder – in fact, he hasn't been able even to unite his own country and until 1956 there was no even the capital of Wales, as London is the capital of England, Edinburgh of Scotland and Belfast of (North) Ireland.

D The Welsh are countrymen not townsmen, they always preferred to live in small groupings. The family is the center of Welsh life, and his village is just an extended family and he doesn't generally go far away from his home. When a Welshman is away from his home he feels deep passionate homesickness for his home. Perhaps, it isn't for "Wales", it is for some small part of it, a tiny village, a hillside, where his family lives.

 

customs	таможня
boundary	граница
invaders	завоеватели
scattered on the slopes	разбросанные по склонам
run right down into	круто обрываются
fed deep passionate homesickness	испытывать глубокую ностальгию
beat down	победить
spirit	дух
