For centuries foreigners have been baffled by (0) _____. It has always been difficult
for them to come to terms with the Englishmans cold formality and his bizarre sense of
humour. When (1) _____ in England, visitors have never understood (2) _____ display
such good (3) _____ when the food tastes so (4) _____.
Many sociological theories have been put forward to (5) _____ for these
phenomena. In my opinion, (6) _____ explanation can be found in the English education
system. In the first place, the English (7) _____ to children is different: while an Italian guy
can (8) ____ his mothers ironing and cooking until he is well into (9) _____, an
Englishman is left to (10) _____ shortly after birth.

Public Schools. The name in itself is something of a paradox (12) _____ these schools are,
in fact, private. (13) _____ in these institutions are deliberately Spartan: sport is plentiful,
food appalling and heating non-existent. Such character building costs money: Britain is
one of the few countries in the world where parents (14) _____ pay for their children to live
in poverty.
(15) _____ in a Public School (16) _____ to leave a permanent mark on (17) _____
character. Life in a highly disciplined all-male community tends to produce an emotionally

(20) _____ were the cardinal sins (murder was far more acceptable). In addition, they are
terribly (21) _____ by any display of emotion because when they left home, the last thing
they could do was cry in front of their schoolmates. On the whole, though, the typical
English male turns out to be really quite a good chap once you get to know him.
