So, let us start our research work. The first task is to clear up the typical characteristics about American and British. Listen to the text, please, put the ticks about American and British. The American, though he dresses like an Englishman and eats roast beef with a silver fork or sometimes with a steel knife as does an English man, is not like an Englishman in mind, in his aspirations, in his tastes, or in his politics. In his mind he is quicker, more universally intelligent, harder, sharper, brighter than an Englishman; but he is more brittle, less enduring, less malleable. The mind of Englishman has more imagination, but that of the American more incision. American is a great observer, capable and cheerful. He is a constant and ready speculator. Englishmen are naturally polite. Ordinary people seem to remain good-tempered and cheerful under difficulties. One of the most striking features of English life is the self-discipline and courtesy of people of all classes. Englishmen are tend to be rather conservative. The English are practical and realistic, prudent and careful about almost everything.
