Номер 5, страница 270 - гдз по английскому языку 11 класс учебник Юхнель, Демченко

5. a) Read the text and make a list of characteristic features of the Brits according to this text.

My wife, who is French, has lived in England for twenty-five years. When she arrived, she was both surprised and favourably struck by the comparative disinterest, even of the rich, in material comfort and pleasures, and by the straightforwardness (прямолинейность) of the public administration.

Her career as a doctor was spent treating old people, and she developed a great respect for the British character shown by her patients. Among their virtues (достоинств) were politeness, lack of self-importance, emotional self-control. No matter to what social class they belonged, they had dignity (достоинство) and self-respect. Their virtues far outweighed their vices.

My medical experience happens to prove it as well. I remember at the beginning of my career as a doctor in a rural area, where one day an old man called me out to his home. He had been very weak for some weeks that he had difficulty in getting up from the sofa on which he was lying.

“I tried for as long as I could not to bother you, doctor”, getting said, “but I can’t manage it any longer.”

“Doctors are supposed to be called out when the person is very weak,” I said. But I was really impressed with his behaviour.
