who was sitting there stood up and said: "Mahlzeit." The Englishman answered: "Tailor."

One day, Mr Tailor met an English friend. "The Germans have strange traditions," he said. "Every time I come to the cafe for lunch, a German stands up and tells me his name."

"That seems strange to me, too," the friend said. "What does the man say?" "He tells me his name — Mahlzeit," Mr Tailor answered. His friend laughed: "Mahlzeit" isn't his name, it's the German word for "good appetite" The German is a polite man and he is simply saying "Mahlzeit" to you because you are going to eat."

The next day, when Mr Tailor came into the cafe, he smiled to the German and said, "Mahlzeit." The German stood up and answered: "Tailor!"Перевод, перевидите пожалусто

his third-class ticket. But this beautiful American girl is betrothed to a hateful and rich suitor. It is like the history of “Romeo and Juliet” on the sinking ship that has become the international sensation.The special effects were used in the movie. When you watch the sinking of Titanic during 80 minutes, you are not interested in what is real and what’s generated by computer. You feel the horror of the experienced event, the depths of the thoughtlessness that made this “unsinkable” ship so hurtable to disaster. While the children and women were laded into lifeboats, the passengers of the third class were locked under the deck like animals. Cameron makes a horrifying picture of chaos with the images of the deck uprising perpendicular to the water, the ship snapping in half as well as the passengers slipping off the giant propellers of the ship into the freezing water of the ocean.However, the stage center in the movie is occupied by the strong love between the unhappy girl Rose and the openhearted, sanguine artist Jack. Is it the love story Cameron so deliriously intended to create? Not quite. Visually, the lovers don’t fit together: Kate Winslet looks womanly next to boyish beauty of DiCaprio. And once the disaster is at its height, their individual destinies become overwhelmed by the common horror. At least, our hearts missed a beat once these young lovers were surrounded by frozen floating corpses.Finally, it stands to mention that Cameron could create an old-fashioned movie which was brought up to date with different spectacular modern technologies.

People who come to Britain for the first time find some of the customs new and interesting. The English do not shake hands each time when they meet. When you go to a friend’s house for a meal, it is not the custom to say "Thank you” at the end of the meal as in most European countries. Here you wait until you are leaving to go home and then you thank your friends for their invitation.

Very few people, even people with quite a lot of money, have servants in their homes. It’s very difficult to find a servant and to find a good servant in even more difficult.
