THE HOW TO BE BRITISH COLLECTION REVIEW
By Vlad Beschastny, 11b

I have recently read the book under the title The How To Be British Collection. I want to tell you about the first five chapters from this book. So, what does It deal with?

It tells about specialty of this country. It describes their landscapes, the rich variety of their weather, their unrivalled achievements in cricket and football and their cherished traditions. Secondly, it explains why Great Britain is popular for visiting. This country is fairy tale land of knights and wizards, princes and pop idols, the birthplace of the industrial revolution, computers, human rights, pork scratching, evolution, lawn tennis, parliament and punk.

It tells about world famous telephone boxes. Before mobile phones made everything so easy, the public telephone box was an important focus for community life. Now there's a new generation of phone boxes which can link you up to the Internet, receive e-mails, take payment by phone card or credit card.

It explains British dress sense. The important thing to remember is that the way the British dress shows their independence of fashion, weather, social convention and colour theory.

It describes all importance of tea in Great Britain. In Britain tea is not only a wonderful drink, but also a light but substantial meal of sandwiches, biscuits and cake, and an important ceremony of their national life.

All in all, It lets readers understand that Great Britain is not a simple country. It is the country with its exciting history and great culture. I recommend you to read this book.
