Description
In this 1 minute episode I will be discussing 'British Politeness'. Please find the transcript of the episode below. Welcome to this British English podcast. In this episode I'll be discussing the topic 'British politeness'. Brits, which is short for 'British people', are often known for being polite. Polite means "showing respect for other people". For example, many Brits often say 'please and thank you'. In Britain, people often say 'sorry'. They use the word 'sorry' in many different situations. For example, "sorry I'm late!" or if a person bumps into you, they will often say 'sorry' very quickly. British people are indirect when speaking. For example, a British person wouldn't say "give me the salt", instead they would say "could you pass me the salt, please?". Finally, British people love to queue. To queue means 'to wait in line'. They queue for everything! Especially the bus!
