Name : ……………………………………….
Number : ………………………
A. Read the following text and answer the questions below : (3 marks)
English people think that you should avoid physical contact with strangers. When they ride on an
underground train, they keep themselves to themselves. They read on trains or buses so that they don’t have to
talk to people they don’t know. They avoid eye contact at all costs.
The English people are much more conscious of their personal space than other nationalities, especially
the Irish or the Scots, who seem more at ease with physical contact. The English allow much less contact, even
with friends. They can be upset if you touch them unexpectedly. You should never tap an English person on the
shoulder if you want to attract his or her attention and it’s safer to cough or say ‘Excuse me!’
When the English meet people for the first time, they shake hands, but then immediately move further away.
Other nationalities such as the Spanish or Egyptians stay close when talking to someone, because they are trying to
show intimacy.
