ПОМОГИТЕ ПРОШУ ВАС ПЕРЕВЕСТИ ТЕКСТ НА РУССКИЙ My turn,” said James. “Next game: you’ve got a time capsule and you want to put one thing in it which represents England. What do you choose?”
“A Number Seven Manchester United shirt,” said Ben. Number Seven was the shirt worn by David Beckham, who was Ben’s personal hero.
“That just represents England now,” argued Barbara. “How about a cup of tea?* she suggested.
“No,” said James. “No one drinks tea any more. Everyone drinks cappuccino.”
2. Barbara looked at her friends. There she was in London with a group of Londoners, playing games. She was the first person in her village to go to England and her parents were very proud of the scholarship she had won which enabled her to study at the University of Westminster in London. Her college was right in the centre of London.
3. Before she arrived, Barbara had thought that she knew everything about England. She had watched every film about England from her local video shop.She’d watched the film Notting Hill seven times; she couldn’t wait to meet Hugh Grant or some other Englishman who looked just like him. She’d also seen some other films, which showed that there were villages in England, a bit like those at home. There wasa north-south divide, her English teacher had told her. Barbara wondered what the north-south divide looked like. Perhaps it was a bit like the Grand Canyon in America, but smaller.
4. It had been a shock arriving in Notting Hill and finding that apart from the Russells, the family she was staying with, most of the other people in the street were black. Notting Hill, she soon discovered, was a centre of Afro-Caribbean culture. When she first arrived, she discovered that despite her good marks in English at school, she didn’t understand a word anyone said. She also met some of the Russels' neighbours, who were English with West Indian parents. Barbara discovered, that in fact they spoke more clearly than lots of the white people she met and they were very friendly.
5. One day Barbara met Ben and his friends who met up most evenings to go for something to eat or to see a film.
The English are strange,” said Ben one afternoon.
"Yes,” agreed Barbara. Later that night, back in her room, she took out some paper.
“Strange things about the English: Number 1,” she wrote.
“There are some things that are bad, which you may talk about, and some things, which are good, that you may not talk about.”
She had discovered that you mustn’t talk about how much money a person earned, but you may talk about how much money a person spent. In fact, the English students talked about money all the time. You may, also, talk about love but not about illnes. In fact, considered Barbara, students in England generally didn’t want to talk about anything serious. Barbara had told her friends about her list and soon they were all making suggestions.
“When the English come back from other countries they always say what a lovely time they’ve had and how friendly everyone was. That’s because they don’t expect people to be friendly, because they aren’t friendly to foreigners,” said James.
“No,” said Barbara, “everyone’s been really nice to me since I got here.”

1. «Моя очередь», - сказал Джеймс. “Следующая игра:у вас есть капсула времени и вы хотите положить одну вещь в неё, котораяпредставляет Англию. Что вы выберете?”
«Номерсемь "Манчестер Юнайтед" футболку”, - сказал Бен. Число семь было нафутболке, что носил Дэвид Бекхэм, который был личным героем Бена. “Этопредставляет сейчас Англию?”, - заспорила Барбара. «Как насчет чашки чая?»-предложила она.
- Нет, - сказал Джеймс. “Никто не пьет сейчас чай. Все пьюткапучино”.
2. Барбара посмотрела на своих друзей. Она была в Лондоне сгруппой лондонцев, когда играла в игры. Она была первым человеком, кто поехализ её деревни в Англию, и её родители гордились стипендией, которую онавыиграла, чтобы учиться в университете Вестминстера в Лондоне. Ее колледж былпрямо в центре Лондона.
3. Прежде, чем она приехала в Лондон, Барбара думала, что знаетвсё об Англии. Она смотрела все фильмы про Англию в местном видеосалоне. Онасмотрела фильм "Ноттинг Хилл" семь раз; она не могла дождатьсявстречи с Хью Грантом или каким-либо другим англичанином, который был похож нанего. Она также видела другие фильмы, в которых показывали, что в Англии, были деревни почти такие же, как и деревни у них. Там есть деление наСевер и Юг, говорила ей учительница английского. Барбаре было интересно, как тамграница между Севером и Югом выглядит. Возможно, она была немного похожа набольшой Каньон в Америке, но меньший по размеру.
4. Для неё было шоком по прибытию в Ноттинг-Хилл обнаружить,что не только Расселы, семья в которой ей пришлось жить, но и большинстводругих людей на их улице были черные. Ноттинг-Хилл, как она вскоре выяснила,был центром Aфро-Карибскойкультуры. Когда она впервые приехала, то обнаружила, что, несмотря на еехорошие оценки по английскому в школе, она не понимала ни слова из того, кточто говорил. Она также встретилась с некоторыми соседями Расселов, англичанами,у которых родители были из Западной Индии.Барбара увидела, что на самом деле они говорили более понятно по-английски, чеммногие белые люди, которых она встретила, и они были очень дружелюбны.
5. Однажды Барбара встретила Бена и его друзей, которые собирались почти каждый вечер, чтобы сходитьпоесть или посмотреть фильм.
«Англичане странные» - сказал Бен однажды.
- Да, - согласилась Барбара. Позже тем же вечером, вернувшисьв свою комнату, она достала бумагу. “Странные вещи об англичанах: Номер 1”, -написала она.
“Есть некоторые вещи, плохие, и о которых вы можете говорить,и есть некоторые вещи, хорошие, но о них вы не можете говорить”. Она обнаружила,что нельзя говорить о том, сколько денег человек заработал, но вы можетеговорить о том, сколько денег человек потратил. На самом деле, английскиестуденты говорили о деньгах все время. Можно, также, говорить о любви, но нельзяговорить про болезнь. В самом деле, считает Барбара, студенты в Англии вообщене хотят говорить ни о чем серьезном. Барбара рассказала своим друзьям о списке,и вскоре все они стали вносить предложения. “Когда англичане возвращаются издругих стран, они всегда говорят, как прекрасно провели время и как доброжелательныбыли все люди. "Это потому, что они не ожидают, что люди будут доброжелательными,потому что они не дружелюбны к иностранцам”, - сказал Джеймс. “Нет,” сказалаБарбара, “все были очень добры ко мне, с самого начала, как я приехала сюда.”
