Текст на анг мове про англічанина​

Each nation has its distinctive character. Speaking about the Englishmen, you can always hear the opinion that these people are calm, strict and boring. But it turned out to be just a prejudice. Let’s discover what real Englishman’s preferences look like. The British have extremely competitive characters. They compete not only in sports but even in their daily life. An average Englishman always tries to make his garden look better than his neighbor’s one. Because of this feature of their characters every weekend they clean their house’s territory and even create works of art, decorating the places in front of the houses with flower pots and nicely trimmed bushes. In the public places, especially in pubs and bars Englishmen enjoy official food and drink tournaments, winning which they are not to pay for a mug of beer or a juicy steak. The competitive nature of Englishmen fully manifests itself in the recreation parks with extremal rides. They come here not to eat ice-cream and to look at other people, but to have real fun. If you see a long queue near the “Suicide road” you can be practically sure that these people are from England. They obligatory try all new crazy rides, and seem to be not afraid at all. Jumping headfirst down from the bridge, a roller coaster and other rides, where you can see the warning sign about high risk of heart attack, are among the favorite English entertainments. Visiting safari parks is also a beloved activity for the British. They enjoy feeling the thrill to be close to dangerous African predators. Also, they are gambling hunters. They are proud of trophies they bring to their homes. It is likely to see a bear pelt or a skull of a deer in the living room of a real Englishman. Bad weather conditions don’t scare the Englishmen. Being used to continuous rains they can go hiking even in heavy rain. The worse the weather the better for the British. “Surviving” is an ideal time spending for these aristocrats. They choose trips to remote locations to spend their holidays where they can meet only bears and wolves. Just remember famous adventurer Bear Grylls, who is from England too. He can be called a common type of a person in England. Along with hunting, fishing is a great pleasure for Englishmen. They even like it more than football. They consider themselves to be professionals in this sphere. Each angler uses his own unique techniques of fishing, practicing his own experience and skills. The British are well known football fans. Even if their favorite team loses they are still proud of it and don’t blame the players as representatives of other nations do. The most popular club — "Manchester United" accounts the largest number of fans in the world. Some young football lovers experience such strong emotions after the match that they begin to fight with other club’s funs. Nowadays these fights are punishable by low. Cricket is a national symbol of summer English activities. The rules of this game are so sophisticated that not even all natives know all the peculiarities. On Sunday evenings you are sure to see at least one game on your way, no matter where you are going. Cricket was spread all round the world and in the past English players constantly won. But now the situation has changed and Englishmen began to lose ground. To justify themselves they say that it is “not real cricket”. Golf is also in value in this country that possesses spacious natural fields for this activity. By the way, England is a homeland of a great number of sports, so it can be said that the Englishmen are fond of active time spending and succeed in different sport games. Once a year the British like to have a rest in family circles. Several years ago the most popular tourist destinations were their domestic sea resorts. The beaches were full of children playing balls and making sand castles. Now the international tourism became a trend. You can meet English nation representatives in Greece, Turkey, Thailand and various exotic countries where they enjoy sun basing, visit discos and drink in pubs. The Englishmen have funny and fascinating traditions for some holiday’s celebrations. For example, a pancake race at the end of a pancake week. They have competitions where women and men dressed in various costumes run along the streets with pans. They are fond of various festivals and mass events. And at last, it should be mentioned that the Englishmen are very hospitable and can visit their friends every day. They spend evenings sitting together drinking beer and discussing different things.
