English Character
One of the most striking features of English life is the self-discipline and courtesy of people of all classes. There is little noisy behaviour, and practically no loud disputing in the street. People do not rush excitedly for seats in buses or trains, but take their seats in queues at bus stop in a quiet and orderly manner.
Englishmen are naturally polite and are never tired in saying «Thank you», «I'm sorry», «Beg your pardon». If you follow anyone who is entering a building or a room, he will hold a door open for you. Many foreigners have commented on a remarkable politeness of the English people. English people don't like displaying their emotions even in dangerous and tragic situations, and ordinary people seem to remain good-tempered and cheerful under difficulties.
The Englishman does not like any boasting or showing off in manners, dress or speech. Sometimes he conceals his knowledge: a linguist, for example, may not mention his understanding of a foreigner's language.
The Englishman prefers his own house to an apartment in a block of flats, because he doesn't wish his doing to be overlooked by his neighbours. «An Englishman's house is his castle».
Many Englishmen help their wives at home in many ways. They clean the windows on Saturday afternoon, they often wash up the dishes after supper in the evening.

Everyday life
The Keane family from England had a two-week holiday in South Carolina, USA.
Tim and Katy Keane and their children, Bethany (8), Charles (9) and Joe (16), couldn't believe their luck when they arrived at Washington Drive, Greenville. «The houses were all enormous,» said Tim. «I expected to see film stars coming out of them!» The Millers' house has five bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms and an extra downstairs toilet. «Our bedroom was huge and it was lovely having an en-suite,» said Katy. «It was like staying in a hotel!» «We didn't see much of the children for two weeks!» says Tim. «They were either in the computer room, in the basement or outdoors.» The weather was fine for the Keanes' visit to South Carolina, so they made good use of the Millers' yard. «The Millers had sports equipment and a permanent barbecue in their yard,» said Joe. «And their neighbours had a swimming pool, which we used once. It was great!» «The children really enjoyed the yard,» said Katy, «but I found it a bit dull.
I like nice English gardens with lots of flowers. All the Millers had a few trees.» And Katy didn't think much of the decor either. «It was all very smart and clean» she said, «but it wasn't very colourful. It's obvious that Americans spend more time outdoors than the British! We had good weather, but luckily we didn't need to use the air-conditioning system. The Millers had lots of security systems and alarms that we had to fiddle with every night and morning - that was complicated enough!»
