Arthur m. Jensen endorsed by the following professors of English

B_{ull - dog} The Englishman does not like anything that is too
[b_ʊl d_ɒg] definitely explained. He prefers the matter not to be too clear, and likes to decide at the last moment. It
is only when it is time to take action that he discovers what he wants to do. Mr. Maurois
thinks that one of the reasons why England is so strong is the fact that political party differences in England go far less deep than they do in France. Thus, when necessary, it is easy for the whole nation to work together in time of danger. Then there is the fact that the English seem so happy. Mr. Maurois says that when the Frenchman sees the English. man's dislike of too much work, and the large place given to sport in his education, he gets the impression of a people always on holiday. A Frenchman will be surprised to see how the Englishman always looks on the bright side of things. Sometimes, he will even be astonished at instances of the famous English good humour. An example of this was to be seen during the great strike of 1926. A one-day cricket match was arranged between strikers and the police. In what other country of the world would such a thing be possible?
The English love their homes, and the old saying “My house is my castle” is very true; they love children; and it would be difficult to find a people who have a greater respect
for the law of their country. They love all sorts of sport. 'Fair play' is one of the most important things in the world to an Englishman, not only in sport, but also in his daily life. The average Englishman always tries to be fair, or, to use his own words, ‘to play the game'
The Englishman's home is private. He hates any questions about his home-life and private affairs. He regards his home in the same way as the members of a Legation would regard the Legation and all its affairs.

Fisher [ˈfɪʃə] serve = be of use

H. A. L. Fisher, President of the English Board of Education from 1916 to 1927, who was a famous student of European conditions, once said that it may seem curious that a damp island in the northwest of Europe should have played so great a part in the history of the world. Mr. Fisher tries to find the true reasons for the greatness of England. Although he mentions the importance of England's central position, he thinks that one of the main reasons is ‘a good climate'. The English may say much about not liking their climate, but it has served them well in industry

and self-defence. The damp climate of England, which seems very cold in winter, has been of great benefit to them. One might almost say that the English have been forced to work to keep themselves warm!
Secondly, he says that the Englishman is more a man of action than a great thinker. The history of the last few hundred years gives many proofs of this. Everybody will know the great part played by England in the world of trade; and many will, no doubt, have heard the famous French description of the English: 'A nation of shopkeepers’.
The size of the British Empire is another proof Drake of the fact that the Englishman is a man of action. ^[dreɪk] English sailors and soldiers are famous in history. Wolfe Drake, who was one of the first to sail round the [w_ʊlf] world, broke the power of Spain. Wolfe conquered Canada Canada, and Clive took India from the French.

Englishmen. An outstanding example son who built the first railway engine. is Stephen- _{Stephenson[sti:vənsn]}
The war of 1939-1945 showed the Eng-
lish to be unchanged. During the war numerous things were invented, more than 3000 of which were given to America by Britain.
So, throughout history, it is evident that the English are not a nation of philosophers, but that they believe very firmly in their own saying: 'Actions speak louder than words'.
