What every visitor to England needs to know

Henry Hardcastle reviews Kate Fox's new book

As an Englishman, I was laughing out loud and crying with embarrassment as I read Watching the English by Kate Fox. This highly entertaining book looks at how the English behave and uncovers the hidden 1) _____ rules that mystify foreign visitors, for example how we behave on public transport. Apart from asking for information - "Is this train going to Victoria?" - talking to strangers on trains just isn't done! In fact, it's absolutely normal for people to spend years travelling on the same train together without 2) _____ a word.

However, despite not wanting to engage in conversation with strangers, people standing at a bus stop will often break an 3) _____ silence by talking about the weather. "Weather-speak" usually starts with a question which invites the other person into a conversation: "Chilly, isn't it?". But the rule is we have to agree - that's taken for granted. Disagreeing could cause offence and the conversation would stop. The only way of stating our true feelings is after 4) _____ ("Yes, it is.") we can then take a risk and add "but I quite like this kind of weather".

As Fox points out, foreign visitors "taking part in any conversation with an English person may find it tricky at first". There's no use trying to get personal information out of us because we don't like 5) _____ about ourselves. We're very uncomfortable when we're being asked questions such as "How old are you?" or "Are you 6) _____?". We also avoid talking about money. Indeed, the English dislike people asking them what they earn or what they paid for something - that's very personal information.

Once I'd finished reading Watching the English, I did just that - I watched them. It was fascinating! And the more I watched, the more I found myself agreeing with Kate Fox's conclusion. She states that in spite of appearing cold and 7) _____ (and often being told that they are) the English are, in fact, just very 8) _____ people.

How to choose your career

Selecting a career can be one of the most difficult 1) _____ (DECIDE) in your life. To choose the right career, you will have to find the balance between 2) _____ (FINANCE) gain and personal fulfillment.

Before you can make a career choice, you will also have to learn about yourself. Your values, interests and skills will make some careers suitable for you and some particularly 3) _____ (APPROPRIATE). You can use self-assessment tests to gather this information and to generate a list of 4) _____ (OCCUPATE) that are considered appropriate. A test like this could help you to narrow down your choice and 5) _____ (POSSIBLE) point you in the right direction.

Even though it is important to choose a career early on, many people have switched careers late in the game and still became enormously 6) _____ (SUCCESS). Think it over and take a chance.
