Read the following announcement and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to the following questions. What Can I Say? Imagine you are introduced to a stranger at a party. You know he is British, but that is all you know about him. You want to respect the customs and habits of his culture, so what is acceptable for you to talk about? British people normally expect the conversation to start with a comment about the weather. If it has been wet, you could say, ‘What terrible weather we’re having!’ to which he would probably reply, ‘Awful! I wonder if it will ever stop raining.’ If it has been hot, you might begin with, ‘How long do you think this weather’s going to last?’ with a probable answer, ‘It can’t go on much longer, surely?’
So you have now dealt with the weather. What next? It is perfectly usual in British culture to ask about a person’s job and give details of yours, and then the conversation should flow quite easily. However, people do not usually talk about salaries. Another possibility is a question about where the person lives. People often used to ask other people about family life, but they are a bit more careful now in asking about relationships. If a British person asks you the question, you can reply, of course. There is a general rule in British customs that you do not ask a stranger about politics or religion. Most people do not have any problems with differences in political or religious views. Friendship is quite possible between people with very different views, but with strangers, it is the custom not to raise the subject. Question 31. This text is about ..........
