REVIEW OF THE BOOK HOW TO BE BRITISH COLLECTION
By Marie Kostenko, 10b

Some time ago I started to read a humorous and cognitive book. The title of this book is How To Be British Collection and it's really impressive. The book helps us to understand British and their outlook, behavior, traditions and habits. I haven't finished reading it yet, but I want to share with you my opinion about the chapter called SPEAK SLOWLY.

REMEMBER! If you are talking with a true Brit for the first time, it won’t be easy to understand what he is talking about; the author's advice is to use the following phases

Sorry, what did you say?
Could you repeat that, please?
Pardon?
What?
Eh?
Huh?
I’m not with you.
Come again.
I haven’t a clue what you’re on about.
What language are you speaking?
Could you try drawing a picture?
