Задание 1. Ознакомьтесь с рассказом и ответьте на вопросы.
Many people believe that the British are very polite most of the time. They usually say ‘Please’ and ‘thank you’. One of the stereotypes which foreigners have about the British, is that they have a tendency to apologize. Some people say that they will say sorry to you, even when it is in fact you who is to be blamed. Moreover, the British are keen on punctuality. If you have a meeting with the British, please, arrive on time. Otherwise, they will think that you are rude and don’t respect them even if in your native country to be late is not considered to be a problem. For example, in Russia people don’t usually pay much attention to time. Any meeting, even official, may be postponed and start, for instance, a half an hour later.

Текст
THE BRITISH
In general, the British are very polite most of the time. ‘Please’ and ‘thank you’ are among the most commonly used words in Britain. People also have a tendency to apologize —some would say too much— and so, you will also hear ‘sorry’ and ‘excuse me’ a lot. The popular stereotype of the average British person is more often than not true —they will say sorry to you, even when it is in fact you who has accidentally stepped on their toes or bumped into them!
It will not surprise you to know then that queuing, or waiting in line so that someone who arrived first is served first, is another British near-obsession. It is sacrosanct. Seriously! Be it in the pub, at the supermarket or at a bus stop, people in Britain queue for everything. Pushing in or cutting into a queue is considered very impolite and you will be heavily frowned upon for doing it. It is one of the few occasions when the famously reserved British can get visibly annoyed in public, so do bear it in mind.
In most cases, queues are easy to spot. They tend to be tidy lines of people waiting. In public places, including shops and restaurants, there will also usually be a sign —such as ‘Please Wait Here to Be Served’ or ‘Please Queue Here’. Where it can be a bit tricky is in pubs, where the lines are neither tidy nor so easy to spot at the bar. The best thing to do is to take note of who was there before you and wait your turn to be served after them. Bar staff are usually very good about keeping track of who should be served next.
Finally, punctuality is important in Britain. As a rule, you should arrive on time for lectures, tutorials and any other appointments. Similarly, if you've arranged to meet someone at a pub, cafe or elsewhere and find yourself running late or unable to make it, and then let the person you are meeting know.
