Факты об Англии на английском

By the way, because of the climate, lakes and rivers in
England do not freeze in winter, so there are many
photos of winter landscapes that look a little unusual,
but no less beautiful. And due to the fact that little snow
falls, a peculiar, but no less fabulous atmosphere is
created, which all photographers will surely fall in love
with.
Well, since we're talking about snow, then 10-15 cm of
snow already means that you can safely stay at home.
Transport will become, you will be told to stay at home
and the city will patiently wait for the snow to melt,
because there are no snowplows here and there will not
be. That's it.
The British are big animal lovers. You will not meet
homeless cats or dogs on the streets, and if you do, they
will be well-fed, healthy and clean, for sure they are
regularly cared for by employees of some cafe where the
animal lives, so technically they are not homeless. By the
way, back in 1824, the "Society for the Protection of
Animals from Cruelty" was established, and it has a royal
status. So cats and dogs have been living in safety for
almost 200 years. By the way, the "Society for the
Protection of Children" in England was established in
1884. Therefore, children in England live in safety. The
British have set their priorities.
With something, but with censorship on English
television, everything is fine. It just doesn't exist. Yes, in
English, obscene expressions have already become the
norm and do not cause such violent indignation as
among Russian speakers, but if for us to hear obscene
expressions on television is something out of the
ordinary, in England they will treat it normally. "The F
Word", as they put it, can be quite calmly pronounced by
announcers, especially if there is a quoting of some
person.
The stereotypical Englishman is courteous, correct and
meek. Actually, it has some similarities with reality. The
British are really very polite and will apologize, ask for
forgiveness or say "please" to everyone and always. For
example, if you pushed a person on the street, or
stepped on someone's foot in transport, you will
immediately be told "Oh, sorry" and in no case will they
make a scandal or look askance. However, make no
mistake, because it's not about you. In modern England,
"thank you-excuse me-please" is just an interjection.
They will apologize to the bedside table if they get
hooked.
Unlike Americans, the British are very ashamed of the
fact that everyone knows their native language, and they
usually speak only English. So, when communicating with
a native Englishman, you will probably hear that you
speak English very well. But don't be so proud of
yourself. Even if you say only "London is the capital of
Great Britain" with a strong Russian accent, you will still
be praised and told that you speak pure English.
How many times have you heard the phrase "foggy
Albion"? We are sure that a lot. But in fact, it is not so
foggy. Yes, you can find fog on the islands, but it's as if it
has never been in your city. The climate of England is
much milder than in other countries. It is due to the fact
that it is surrounded by water that the temperature does
not change as much as on the continent. In summer, the
average temperature will not exceed 30 degrees, and it
will hardly reach this mark (the average temperature is
26-27 C). And thanks to the rains in the first half of
summer, you will not die from the heat.
As for winter, it is better for lovers of snowy and frosty
weather to move closer to the poles. And all because the
temperature is unlikely to drop below "zero". If -18 is the
normal temperature in winter, then in England it means
the worst frost. The average temperature in winter is
usually 2-3 degrees Celsius, and snow can only fall
around Christmas, and then a little.
