Развитие умений в чтении

When talking about foreign culture and customs, most of us follow the so-called common truth. But stereotypes are man-created and sometimes can be outdated or incorrect and very misleading.

1) Read the statements and explain why foreigners think of Russian culture in this way.

2) Which statements contain negative evaluation?

3) What stereotypes are expressed explicitly and implicitly?

Heidi (a bank employee, an American Puerto Rican origin): Russians?   Russian mafia, the bears, the Kremlin, and communism. This is the first thing that comes to my mind. Russians have little contact with people of other nationalities. Would you say that the old way of life in the USSR affects Russians’ behaviour?  

Jamal (the landlord, came from Morocco): Russians almost never say hello, and rarely smile when talking to other people. They can be immediately recognized from the multinational crowd of immigrants. Perhaps this is due to the fact that in the Soviet Union there was a very strict totalitarian regime.

Linda (from Germany): Russian men of all ages are fond of fishing, which has remained one of the favorite pastimes in Russia. It should also be noted that throughout many parts of Russia, both in the countryside and at private dachas, many people are occupied with bee-keeping, breeding bees and gathering honey. Honey has always been valued very highly in Russia. It has been used for treating colds and other illnesses. If you do catch a cold, we definitely recommend using this Russian prescription: hot tea with honey. Russians love to grow vegetables and fruit at their dachas. Potatoes are the most popular vegetable to be cultivated, having earned the title of ’second bread’. As for fruit, the apple tree is the main fruit tree in Russia.

Kiki (waitress at a Chinese restaurant): In my opinion, the Russian immigrants are lazy. They will never work and sweat for a few dollars. Russians are very arrogant and adore all the most expensive - ranging from clothes to cars. Russians smoke and drink a lot, pay little attention to sport and healthy lifestyle.

Chris (from Spain ):  I don’t understand the mysterious Russian soul. There are so many brilliant and talented Russian people. However, the Russians like to fight and pobuyanit. Especially when they drink.

4) What impact the foreigners’ statements have on you? Interpret your perception.

5) What could be the cause of such judgments?

6) Try to explain the views of all foreigners from the perspective of a foreigner.

Make a list of characteristics typical of Russian people. Rank them in order of importance. You may choose words from the following list or use your own.

cheerful          creative          patient          polite                   sociable

helpful            friendly          calm            generous               hard working

reliable           optimistic       tolerant        tactful                   superstitious

determined      impulsive       brave           imaginative          hospitable

What kind of person are you?

Развитие умений в аудировании

The hospitality of  Russian people is known to many foreigners.

Name two facts you expect to listen to. Listen and check.

Hospitality

Should you be lucky enough to be invited to a Russian home for dinner be assured that you will get the best of what's on hand and plenty of it. Russians are famed for their hospitality and love to invite people over in order to thoroughly stuff them. It is expected that a guest will accept all that is offered and your host may be offended if you refuse. Be prepared for staunch arguments on the part of your host as to why you should eat the lump of raw pork fat or drink the glass of home-made sweet elderberry wine stuck in front of you.

When invited to a Russian's apartment for a dinner party it is considered de rigueur to bring something along, usually alcohol and perhaps flowers for the hostess. People often dress up as if they were going out to a fancy restaurant, and women take nice shoes with them in a bag in order to avoid the ridiculous situation of being in their finest evening dress and sliding around in tapochki.

Drinks are usually preceeed by toasts (sometimes taking the form of long speeches) and much glass clinking. Often the revelry lasts well into the night and can include singing and dancing until people pass- out or go home. These parties can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of a visit to Russia as they provide insight into the Russian people and their way of life.
