We’ve been working stereotypes in class. What ideas or things first come to your mind when you think of English culture or the English? Here are a few that students mentioned:
- Tea.
- Sarcasm (a particular sense of humour).
- Red double-decker buses.
- Red phone boxes.
- Big breakfasts.
- Different timetables (early suppers, continuous school days).
- Fish and chips.
- The Beatles (and all the English pop groups).
- Pubs.
- Beer.
- The Queen and Royal Family.
- James Bond.
- Mini, Aston Martin (cars design).
- Hats and the peculiar English fashion.
- Packed lunches at school.
- Bad weather.
- Driving on the left.
To complete the activity we’re going to work the Sting’s song “Englishman in New York”. First listen to the song and do the vocabulary and grammar activities enclosed on the following page: Sting – Englishman In New York
You can also play karaoke and work the spelling, vocabulary and pronunciation going to: http://www.lyricstraining.com/play/7924/sting/englishman_in_new_york
