VII. Read the passage carefully, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or 
false (F), and then answer the questions. 
DON’T TOUCH! WE ARE ENGLISH! 
English people think that you should avoid physical contact with strangers. When they 
ride on an underground train or stand in a crowded lift, they keep themselves to themselves. 
They read on trains or buses so that they don’t have to talk to people they don’t know. They 
avoid eye contact at all costs. 
Research has shown that the English are much more conscious of their personal space 
than other nationalities, especially the Irish or the Scots, who seem more at ease with physical 
contact. The English allow much less contact, even with friends. And they can be upset if you 
touch them unexpectedly. You should never, for example, tap an English person on the 
shoulder if you want to attract their attention. It’s safer to cough or say: ‘Excuse me?’ 
When the English meet people for the first time, they shake hands, but then immediately 
move further away. Other nationalities, Spanish people or Egyptians, for example, move 
closer to someone they are speaking to, but not the English. The English think you shouldn’t 
get too close because it suggests a desire for intimacy. And they rarely kiss people they have 
just met at a party when they are leaving. 
True or false? 
44. The English do not always make conversation with strangers. 
45. It is usual for English people to avoid eye contact with strangers. 
46. The English usually slap each other on the shoulder when meeting. 
47. The English usually stand close to another person while in conversation. 
48. Kissing and embraces are not usual in the UK on a first meeting. 
Answer the questions. 
49. What should you do when you want to attract an English person’s attention? 
50. What should you do when you are introduced to an English person?
