Ideas which are similar to each other People from English-speaking countries, ‘Saying Oh, you ain't need to get me anything! ‘Speaking English perfectly. Why did you get me this? \Why one phrase is rude but the other one is polite But first of all let's think about what communication actually means. In our fist language, we know that we have to choose our words very carefull. For example, 'm from Australia so when someone gives me ‘birthday present, | might say: (Oh, you didn't need fo get me anything! Ifyou are not a native English speaker, that might seem strange. But many English speakers fee! its polite to say this when someone gives them a present. However the same speakers would find it quite rude to say: Why ald you get me this? ‘Why is this? After all,the meaning of both phrases is quite similar. And infact, this phrase (or something like it) is quite common in a number cf European languages. The answer is simple - whether something seems fo be rude or polite depends on culture. fo communicate successfully In a foreign language, we need to remember that people are usually trying fo say the same things but we also need to remember that different cultures say them in different ways ~ and that Is what intercultural communication is all about.LISTENING (©MB Listen to a conversation between Bridget and Joe and tick (¥) the correct answers. 1 Whats the main topic oftheir conversation? 2] the subject Bridget studies at university » [a holiday that Bridget has had c F] awebsite that Bridget is creating 2 Bridget i feeling very tred because she has. a [ been writing something in a foreign language. » [had a lotof essays to write for university ¢ E] justretuméd from a holiday in Mexico. 3.

Well, apparently, he was a professional footballer for a few years in the 1950s! Jack left school at 16 in 1948 and worked in a car factory in Newcastle for five years. While he was ‘working there, he used to play football every Saturday for the factory team. One day some men came to watch him from Newcastle United. They offered him a contract so in 1953 Jack left the car factory and became a professional footballer. Apparently, he played for Newcastle United from 1953 until 1959 and scored over 100 goals for them. However, he broke his leg badly in 1959 and had to give up playing professional football. After that, he got a job as a sports teacher at a local secondary school and that's where he met his wife, ‘Auntie Giulia. She was an Art teacher. They fell in love and got married two years later, in 1961. Our cousins Luigi and Anna were born in 1962 and 1964. As you know, we left Great Britain and came to live here in ‘Australia in 1965, so it was quite difficult for Dad and Uncle Jack to keep in touch after that. Meanwhile, in 1969 Uncle Jack and Auntie Giulia opened an italian restaurant called La Forchetta in the centre of Newcastle.
