Before reading

3. What do you think these stereotypes are a real image of the British? (making suppositions)
4. What do you think might happen to have such stereotypes? (anticipating)
5. Look at the text. What do you think about the genre of the text?
6. Write down five questions by the title of the text.

While-reading

Answer the questions

6. What do you think about the reasons about such national image?

10. Do you agree that the Britain is more tolerant than other European countries?

True or False

1. The European image of the Brit – either pukingly drunk football fan or snooty City gent.
2. Every good Frenchman subsists on a diet of beer and sausage.
3. Germans wears a striped shirt and beret.
4. Europeans tend to use "British" as a synonym for "English", rather forgetting the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish.
5. Cliches only become cliches if they are not built on a foundation of truth.
6. But while the French, German, Spanish and Italians are drinking much less than they did in 1980, Britons are drinking 9% less.
7. One study found that 45% of British 15- and 16-year-olds admit to binge drinking, compared to a European average of 63% the image.
8. Most Britons now belong in the vast, sprawling middle class.
