 Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative person who is 1 only among those with whom he is acquainted. When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, 2 embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to 3 the

  truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner. Hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive.

  4 , there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, 5 broken, makes the offender immediately the object of 6 .

  It has been known as a fact that the British has a 7 for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 8 .
