BEST MATES: SAM AND DANNY

- How did you become friends?

We met when I first came to the secondary school we both go to. I was a bit nervous
being the new boy. Danny helped me settle in and we’ve been friends ever since.

- What do you have in common?

We have got a similar sense of honor and we make each other laugh a lot. We’re also
both really into music, although he’s a fan of hip-hop and I’m crazy about indie rock.
He’s always got his headphones on. Neither of us really cares about fashion like some
of the kids are our school, although I love my black denim jacket.

- How would you describe each other?

STEREOTYPES

- PAUL
The stereotypical English person is polite, drinks a lot of tea and eats terrible food. It’s
true that we are all polite. It helps us to get along with each other! But we don’t all have
afternoon tea at five o’clock, as some people believe. I actually prefer coffee – I drink at
least four coups a day! As for the terrible food, I just don’t think that’s true at all. I think
there’s a lot of great food here, and a huge variety. I should know – I’m a food critic.

- MELANIE
When people think of Australia, they probably imagine a country full of bronzed surfers
and venomous insects. However, I know only two people who surf, even though 85% of
our population lives within 50 km of the coast. And, even though I’ve read that we have
20 of the world’s 25 most venomous snakes, not to mention spiders, crocodiles and
sharks, I’ve never seen any of them in the wild.

23. What is the author’s main intention?
