Theme of the work: "What are they, British and Russian?»
Слайд 2Introduction
Answering the question “What are Englishmen like? many of us answer:
"They are prudish, polite, they love tea and always talk about the weather." The opinion of most people are based on knowledge of the stereotypes, which are not always true.
In my work, I want to compare the customs and traditions of Russia and England to show whether they have similarities and differences.
Слайд 3Introduction
Purpose: To reveal similarities and differences between the peoples of England
and Russia Research hypotheses: Are there similarities and differences between Englishmen and Russians? The object of the study are the English and Russian characters, the way of life.
Слайд 4Chapter I. Unique features of the character of English people and
Russians.
Слайд 51.1 Politeness and restraint.
Restraint and politeness are one of the main
features of the English style of communication. In our opinion, the English are even sometimes excessively polite. Famous English restraint, the desire to hide emotions, save face - this is the result of strict upbringing. In the understanding of the English, the Russians are not very polite and more emotional, but they are good-natured and very hospitable. Due to greater emotionality, Russians are characterized by openness, responsiveness and sincerity in communication.
Слайд 61.2 English snobbery and Russian curiosity.
There is a profound conviction that
all Englishmen are a bit of a snob and sincerity is not their main feature. The British find these accusations unfair and unfounded. However, it should be noted that the British are terribly proud of the fact that they differ from any other nation in the world. For Russians, the British are one of the most respected nations. The Russian national character is characterized by heightened interest, curiosity and goodwill towards both foreigners in general and the British in particular.
Слайд 7Chapter II. Differences in the behavior of the Russian man and
the inhabitants of Fog Albion.
Слайд 82.1 Personal space.
The British have more claims for temporary possession of
the territory than for the Russians. English children have the right to have free space. For example, without their consent, no one can enter their room, not even parents. In Russia, any relative can go into the child’s room even without knocking.
Слайд 92.2 Contact.
The hands of the British are used much less often
than the Russians. Handshake can be used at acquaintance, first meeting and farewell in other cases it is less popular than in Russian culture. The distance of communication among the English is much greater than Russians usually have.
Слайд 102.3 Tolerance to others
In England, one can not openly hate someone
or something, you can go to jail for this. In Russia, you can hate even your interlocutor and boldly declare it to him in person. The worst outcome of such statements is an uncontrolled fight.
Слайд 112.4 The queue for the English is a sacred matter!
In England,
the concept of the line is sacred. Probably for most Britons, it is the personification of social justice, and breaking the queue causes a storm of resentment in their souls. In Russia, everyone must be the first and, armed with the phrase "I’ll just ask", everyone and everywhere trying to pass out of turn.
Слайд 122.5 Thrift and economy
A lot of Englishmen don’t heat their houses
today.On the one hand, they save. On the other hand, they have got used. The attitude to water resources also varies. In England, you can not spend a lot of water, although officially it is not prohibited, but its inhabitants always save. Recently in Russia, people have become more careful to use water because of water meters, that is, from pragmatic purposes, but we are still far from the British.
Слайд 13Conclusion.
Any times we compare Englishmen and Russians, we find too many
differences, ranging from linguistic features to mentality. The main thing for the interaction of different cultures is to understand and to accept a person or even nation, to live in peace and harmony.
Слайд 14Conclusion.
After conducting a questionnaire among the pupils of the 7th form
of our school, I concluded that the children know about English traditions, but not about everyone. When I asked about the similarity of Russian and English traditions, most of the students answered "no".
