talking about

my country

situation one anne is a new student

from london and she discusses with her

new friend

emma about the culture in england

and america

hi anne welcome to boston high school

i'm emma i'm your new classmate let me

show you around

thanks emma nice to meet you

[Music]

so anne where do you come from

i'm from london this is the first time

i've traveled to

america wow all the way from england

i have always wanted to travel there

living in a new country is fun and

exciting but it's going to be a big

change for me so i want to know more

about this country

can you share some common things about

the american culture please

sure the american culture is very

interesting

first of all americans often prefer

large and luxurious

to them large can be practical

i think thinking big also applies to

american food too

most restaurants serve very large

portions

americans love going out to eat or

ordering takeout

so if you're going to out to eat and

aren't sure of the size

it's okay to ask your server what they

recommend

yes because the u.s is a melting pot of

different cultures

bringing along a variety of tasty foods

that's right even in small american

towns

you're likely to find pizza chinese

japanese or mexican food

in larger cities you'll find restaurants

devoted to ethiopian brazilian or

afghani cuisine

that's cool and i can see that many

americans

love and follow sports people say one of

the most popular differences between

british and american english

is how they see the games really

americans do not like small scores

that's why they do not like football

they tend to like games with big scores

like basketball and american football

[Applause]

and the english people tend to be more

patient in playing and this can be seen

in many games such as cricket and

football

oh sports can be a huge uniting and

dividing factor among americans

during football and basketball season

you might see people getting into

spirited debates about whose team is

better

football is fun to watch but can be

pretty confusing to follow

can you help me out i want to know why

over a hundred million

americans watched the 2017 super bowl

sure no problem what else do you want to

know

what is the main religion in america

back in my hometown people are now

getting away from the church and tend to

be less religious

the united states is remains a

predominantly

christian nation people in the united

states tend to be more religious

especially those living in the southern

regions

oh how about the people in america

often americans tend to be friendly they

tend to want to be part of someone

else's problems as they communicate

the english people really appreciate

personal privacy

and they try to give respect without too

entering the private affairs of others

this difference is the reason why the

english tend to be

cooler

i guess so and you know that the british

tend to be elegant in appearance

right this is the opposite of most

americans who tend to be casual

genes were created first in the united

states and we now know

why they were not created in england

true the english people tend to be more

polite

even the level of decency the british

people have is often viewed as higher

than the average of other europeans

this tends to contradict the american

way of communicating

they tend to bring out jokes which for

most english people are

quite rough americans also tend to speak

loudly

many consider the united states and the

united kingdom

are two nations divided by the same

language

however while it is true that both

nations have historically shared a close

relationship

they have major differences in culture

i agree but it's a fact that both of

these cultures are interesting

i want to travel to england to learn all

about its culture

you can come with me when i go back to

england to this summer

really that's great thanks

no problem

[Music]

situation two linda and david

travel to london and their tour guide

luke introduces them to all the

interesting facts

about england and london

hi guys welcome to london my name is

luke and i'm your tour guide for today

let me show you everything about this

ancient country

england i'm linda

and this is my husband david this is our

first

time visiting england

besides the two popular visitor

attractions i'll show you these travel

experiences that can turn you into a

real local

that's great i want true

local experiences which are different

from the basic places i saw online

you can count on me being the capital of

england

london has a history dating back to

roman times

a bustling nightlife great shopping and

even beautiful

views what are people like in the uk

brits have a mixed reputation in other

countries

on the one hand they're quite polite and

proper

on the other they're known for their

loutish drunken behavior while abroad

really how well both types of brits are

fairly common

but two activities that tend to unite

all uk citizens

queuing and talking about the weather

with all this diversity comes all

different types of cultures

right yes walking down my street

there is an english pub a burger place

multiple italian indian thai

and chinese restaurants most anything to

satisfy your taste buds

besides the famous english breakfast

fish and chips

what are the other popular foods in

britain

the uk's most popular dish is actually

chicken tikka masala

and the quaint cream tea which derives

from devon

it's a light meal designed to be eaten

in the afternoon combining tea with

dainty sandwiches and cakes

that sounds so delicious i can't wait to

try it out

how about uk art

the united kingdom has a rich history in

the arts

london's west end has a reputation akin

to new york's broadway

what genres of music are popular to the

british

the west end is home to several theaters

showing popular plays and musicals

really i want to go to a music festival

before i go back to the us

many genres of music have a huge

following in the uk

from the country's super clubs putting

on famous djs

to wembley stadium and the o2 hosting

international star

oh there are the uk's renowned music

festivals

the likes of glastonbury attract

hundreds of thousands of music fans

every year that's right

and while you're in london you can see

performances of famous shakespeare plays

at a recreation of the globe theater on

london's south bank

[Applause]

i will with no problem with

transportation it's easy to get around

and see all of the amazing places

that london has to offer whether

it be the tower of london or the london

eye the city is exploding with

cool things to see and learn about there

are over 100 museums

galleries and exhibits to visit that

offer insight into the amazing history

of london

wow can you recommend things that people

must try when visiting london

here is a list of must-dos take pictures

with a red phone booth have a pint

in a historic pub strolling around

nunhead cemetery watch a show

wilson's music hall drinking in rooftop

bars

and stomping around soho

i will say cheers as thank you as many

times as possible

and i will immediately seem like a local

right

time exploring this city

谈论

我的国家

情况 安妮是一位

来自伦敦的新生,她和她的

新朋友

艾玛讨论英国和美国的文化

嗨,安妮欢迎来到波士顿高中,

我是艾玛,我是你的新同学让我

带你四处看看

谢谢 emma 很高兴见到你

一个新的国家既有趣又

令人兴奋,但这对我来说将是一个很大的

变化,所以我想更多地

了解这个国家

,你能分享一些

关于美国文化的共同点吗?请

确保美国文化很

有趣,

首先美国人通常更喜欢

对他们来说大而豪华

大可以是实用的 并且

不确定大小

可以询问您的服务员他们推荐什么

是的,因为美国是不同文化的大熔炉,

带来各种美味的食物

,即使在美国的小

城镇,

您也可能会找到比萨饼中餐

在大城市里有日本或墨西哥菜,你会发现

专门提供埃塞俄比亚巴西或

阿富汗菜的餐厅

,这很酷,我可以看到许多

美国人

喜欢和关注体育运动的人说

英式英语和美式英语之间最受欢迎的区别之一

是他们如何看待 比赛真的

美国人不喜欢小分

所以不喜欢足球

他们更喜欢大分的比赛

比如篮球和美式足球

[鼓掌]

而英国人

在比赛中往往更有耐心,这在很多比赛中都可以看到

例如板球和

足球

哦,在足球和篮球赛季期间,体育运动可能是美国人之间的一个巨大的团结和

分裂因素,

您可能会看到人们 g

就谁的球队更好进行激烈的辩论

足球看起来很有趣,但

听起来可能会很混乱

你能帮我吗我想知道为什么

超过一亿

美国人观看了 2017 年的超级碗

当然没问题你还想看什么

知道美国的主要宗教是什么

回到我的家乡,人们现在

正在远离教堂,并且往往

不那么

虔诚 美国仍然是一个以

基督教为主的国家 美国的人们

往往更加虔诚,

尤其是那些生活在美国 南部

地区

哦,美国人呢

这种差异是英语倾向于更酷的原因,

我想是的,你知道英国人

倾向于优雅 外观

正确 这与大多数

倾向于随意的美国人相反

基因首先是在美国创造的

,我们现在知道

为什么它们不是在英国创造的

have 通常被认为

高于其他欧洲人的平均水平

这往往与美国人

的交流方式相矛盾

他们往往会讲笑话 对于

大多数英国人来说是

相当粗鲁的美国人也倾向于大声说话

许多人认为美国和英国

两个国家是用同

一种

语言划分的吗?虽然这两个

国家在历史上确实有着密切的

关系,

但他们在文化上存在重大差异,

我同意,但事实是这

两种文化都很有趣,

我想去英国学习一切

关于它的文化

,当我今年夏天回到英国时,你可以和我一起来,

真的很好,谢谢

没问题

[音乐 ]

情况二 linda 和 david

去伦敦旅行,他们的导游

卢克向他们介绍了

有关英国和伦敦的所有有趣事实 大家好,

欢迎来到伦敦

古老的乡村

英格兰 我是琳达

,这是我的丈夫大卫 这是我们

一次访问英国,

除了两个受欢迎的旅游景点之外,

我将向您展示这些旅行

体验,这些旅行体验可以让您成为

真正的当地人

,这很棒 我想要真正的

当地体验 与

我在网上看到的基本地方不同

你可以指望我是英国的首都

伦敦的历史可以追溯到

罗马

时代 繁华的夜生活 很棒的购物场所

甚至美丽的

景色 英国人在英国

的名声参差不齐 其他

国家

一方面他们非常有礼貌和

得体

另一方面他们以

粗鲁的醉酒行为而闻名

英国人

相当普遍,

但有两项活动倾向于团结

所有英国公民

排队和谈论天气

,所有这些多样性都来自各种

不同类型的文化,

是的,走在我的街上,

有一家英式酒吧,一个汉堡店,

多个意大利印度人,泰国

人和 中国餐馆

除了著名的英式早餐炸鱼和薯条之外,最能满足你味蕾的

食物是什么

英国最受欢迎的菜实际上是

鸡肉提卡马萨拉

和源自德文郡的古雅奶油茶,

它是一种便餐,旨在

下午吃 茶与

美味的三明治和蛋糕

相结合,听起来很美味 我迫不及待想

尝试

一下 英国艺术 英国在艺术

方面拥有丰富的历史

伦敦西区的声誉

类似于纽约的百老汇

什么类型的音乐在

英国流行 西区有几家剧院,

放映流行戏剧和音乐

剧 lly 我想在回美国之前去参加一个音乐节

许多类型的音乐在英国都有大量的

追随者,

从英国的超级俱乐部

到著名的 dj

到温布利体育场和 o2 主办

国际明星

哦,还有英国的

像格拉斯顿伯里这样的著名音乐节每年都会吸引

成千上万的音乐爱好者

,这是对的

,当你在伦敦时,你可以在伦敦南岸的环球剧院观看

著名的莎士比亚戏剧表演

[掌声]

我会 交通没问题

到处走走都很方便,可以

看到伦敦所有令人惊叹的地方

无论是伦敦塔还是伦敦

眼 这座城市正在爆炸,有很多

很酷的东西可以看和了解

有超过 100 家博物馆

画廊 和参观的展品

可以深入了解伦敦的惊人历史

哇,你能推荐人们

在访问伦敦时必须尝试的事情吗?

这里是必须做的事情清单

用红色电话亭拍照

在历史悠久的酒吧喝一品脱 在

Nunhead 公墓附近闲逛 观看表演

威尔逊音乐厅 在屋顶酒吧喝酒

并在 SOHO 周围

跺脚 我会尽可能多地表示感谢

,我会立即看起来像 一个当地的

权利

是正确的祝你好运,并有最好的

时间探索这个城市

谢谢你的帮助
