Lesson 45 The typical English gentleman
Yesterday morning gretel went to the City of London. She wanted to see St.Paul's Cathedral. She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler1 hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. Gretel smileed to herself. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures."They must be typical English gentlemen," she said."I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are waring a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?"
Mr Clark laughed." I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr Clark picked up a magazine and pointed2 at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England."
