Project 7: Different People, Different Habits

1. Introduction

Different people have different style of behaviour which depends on personal characteristics
and social etiquette [‘etiket] in different countries. First I’ll tell you about social norms of
behaviour, and then about personal habits.

2. Some examples of Social Etiquette in the UK (5c p.84)

Since every country has its own set of dos and don’ts, it’s worthwhile [стоящий] to know
what it means to be polite while visiting a foreign country. If you have no idea about social
norms of behaviour, you can experience a kind of culture shock while living abroad. I will
tell you about some examples of social etiquette in the UK.  … ПРИМЕРЫ …

3. Personal habits. How annoying! (5a p.80, ex.1)

Apart from social etiquette, each person has his or her own habits. Unfortunately, some of
them may be annoying. The types of behavior which I dislike most of all are the following: It
really annoys me when … . I can’t stand it when … . I also hate it when … .

4. Complaining and apologising  (5d p.82, WB 5d p.46)

It’s very important to know how to complain politely about somebody’s misbehaviour. For
instance, if your neighbour plays loud music, you can talk to him like that:

I’m sure, if you know social etiquette and have polite personal habits, your life will be easier.
As for me, I always try to behave politely. (можно придумать свое заключение)

Present Perfect Continuous

Когда используется Present Perfect Continuous:

1. Present Perfect Continuous используется для передачи действия, которое началось в прошлом, длилось некоторое время и продолжает совершаться в настоящем. 

Например: 

She has been cooking dinner for three hours already. – Она готовит ужин уже три часа. (все это время она готовила и пока что не закончила, продолжает готовить)

I have been reading this book since the beginning of summer. – Я читаю эту книгу с начала лета. (прочел какую-то часть, но еще не закончил, продолжаю читать)

      2. Present Perfect Continuous используется для передачи длительного действия в прошлом, которое закончилось непосредственно перед моментом речи, и результат этого действия оказывает влияние на настоящее. 

Например:

The streets are wet. It has been raining all the morning. – На улице мокро. Все утро шел дождь.

We are very tired because we have been walking in the mountains since early morning. – Мы очень устали, так как гуляли в горах с раннего утра.

Время Present Perfect Continuous, как правило, не употребляется с глаголами состояния. В этом случае вместо него используется время Present Perfect.

Глаголы состояния передают состояния, чувства, отношения, умственные процессы и другие характеристики предмета. 

Например: to have, to love, to hate, to remember, to forget, to understand, to believe, to look, to feel, to hear, to see, to know и т.д.
