As always, you need to answer quickly, without thinking and without looking at the list of correct answers at the end of the test. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen!
1. You walk along the Tower Bridge, look at the blue (*crossed out*) gray sky and sing Zemfira’s song “I dreamed of the sky of London”. Go ahead and don't bother anyone. At this time, the running person pushes you hard, knocking you out of this blissful contemplative state. Your reaction:
B. Damn, let's go! We're sick of these tourists, it's impossible!
2. You have a meeting with a representative of the aristocracy. I know it's unlikely, but we have to prepare in case something happens. Your greeting:
A. Hi Kate, how’s it going?

10. What is Boxing Day?
A. World Boxing Day, which is widely celebrated in Britain
B. The day when everyone goes out and starts fighting
Phew.. exhaled.. well, let's deal with the answers now.
- While I myself gravitate towards using option A the old-fashioned way, the correct option is still option C. Remember: no matter what happens and no matter how much the other party is at fault, always apologize. Were you pushed? Apologize. Your business partner did not show up for the meeting at the appointed time? Sorry that you probably sent the information at the wrong time. And so on. The British always try their best to avoid awkwardness and mutual apologies are just the way to quickly get past an unpleasant situation.
- In Britain there is no such thing as excessive formality. Everything that seems excessive to you is just right here. Therefore, when you meet with blue bloods, do not hesitate to use the most formal language possible. You will be noticed and your manners will be appreciated. The correct option is C
- The correct answer is D. No matter who is in the queue, everyone will go exactly in order. This is a country with a strong desire for social equality, so everyone is subject to the same rules.
- The correct answer is B. As I have already explained more than once, excessive emotions are not welcome here and the use of an exclamation mark is bad manners. You will look like an unrestrained person, and this creates an inconvenience that, as you remember, the British try their best to avoid.
- I still can't get used to it, but the English use words like love, pretty, gorgeous as everyday greetings. Don’t think that they are head over heels in love with you and you need to respond urgently. That's just what they say. For some reason. The correct answer is A
6. The “rounds” system is one of the typical English features. If there is a large group of people at the bar, everyone takes turns paying for the “round,” that is, buying drinks for everyone. Then someone else does it, and so on. Since they drink a lot here, there is a high probability that you will have to fork out at some point. The correct answer is C
7. Another feature that you need to get used to is follow-up messages for any reason. There was a business meeting - you send everyone an email with the key points, you met with friends - you send a message about how great it was to see everyone, your child went to a birthday party - you write to the mother of the inviting party how grateful you are for such an amazing holiday. The correct answer is C
8. A friend with whom I had lunch in the first days of my arrival in England behaved strangely during lunch. Then it turned out that he was embarrassed in front of the waiters for my behavior. My egregious behavior was that when I placed my order, I did not add the word please. To your phrase. He gave me one important piece of advice: no matter what you say, ALWAYS add please at the end of the sentence. The correct answer is C
9. In England, a 12.5% tip is already included in the bill in the vast majority of restaurants. This is indicated by the phrase in the check Services are included. That means you don't have to worry about leaving cash behind, but you also don't have to be surprised if the bill turns out to be more than you expected. That's how it is. The correct answer is C
10. As you know, in Europe Christmas is celebrated on December 25th. And December 26 - which is also a day off - is called Boxing Day. The name comes from the tradition of earlier times when wealthy people would collect the leftovers of a sumptuous Christmas dinner, pack them in boxes and distribute them to servants and less wealthy people. The correct answer is C
Well, now you will definitely pass for one of your own! Welcome!

Past Simple(simple past tense)- one of the most common tenses in the English language. By using Past Simple we can convey events that happened in the past, and in some cases, events in the present. Therefore, at any level of English proficiency, you will learn something new about Past Simple.
How is the Past Simple formed?
Statement
In order to form Past Simple, we add the ending to the verb - ed, if the verb is correct ( work - worked, learn - learned, ask - asked). If the verb is irregular, then we look for the form for Past Simple in the second column tables of irregular verbs. Most likely, at first it will be difficult for you to immediately determine which verb is in front of you. You will find the irregular verb in the table. If it's not there, it's correct. Negation
In a negative sentence in Past Simple auxiliary verb appears did(second form of irregular verb do) and particle not. In an English sentence, only one verb can be in the past tense, so as soon as did, the main verb takes the form of the infinitive without a particle to (go, look, feel). In colloquial speech did And not combine to form a shortened form didn't:
- He didn't tell.
- We didn't discuss.
To ask a question in Past Simple, we put it first did, followed by the subject, then the main verb. Verbto beVPast Simple
As you already know, to be- this is an irregular verb, so you need to remember the past tense form. But in the past tense it does not have one form, like all other verbs, but two: was(for singular nouns and pronouns) and were(for plural nouns and pronouns). In denial was (were) combines with not and forms the shortened form:
- I wasn't at work.
- They weren't happy.
Let us immediately note that the main functions Past Simple And Present Simple match up. We only need to transfer the action from the present to the past.
- Past Simple shows a fact in the past or a single action that ended in the past.
I saw him yesterday. - I saw his yesterday. (single action in the past, yesterday already ended)
The Titanic sank in 1912. - Titanic sank 1912. (fact)
He went to Italy last month. - He traveled to Italy last month. (single action in the past)
Words indicating the duration of the action may not be used in this feature.
She spoke to him in a low voice. - She's quiet spoke with him. (single action in the past)
Aivazovsky painted"The Ninth Wave" - Aivazovsky wrote painting "The Ninth Wave". (fact)
- Also Past Simple used to describe a condition in the past.
That museum had a great collection of paintings. - In that museum was huge collection of paintings. (currently the museum does not have a huge collection)
- We use Past Simple to talk about old habits and repetitive actions. These actions have occurred many times in the past, but are no longer being done. Such sentences may contain adverbs often(often), sometimes(Sometimes), always(always) etc.
He always bought newspapers on Sunday. - He always bought newspapers on Sundays. (he doesn't do that now)
- We can also use used to to talk about old habits.
- We use Past Simple when we tell a story or list several events that happened one after another in the past.
He entered the cafe, he ordered a cup of tea and a piece of cake. - He has entered in the cafe, ordered a cup of tea and a piece of pie.
Where else is Past Simple found?
- We use Past Simple to tell the details of some news or some event that happened in our lives. We report the news itself in time Present Perfect. We can use other past tenses to give details, but Past Simple is used in these cases more often than others.
I've got this job. It was a hard and exhausting interview, but it turned out that I was a perfect applicant. - I got this job. This was difficult, exhausting interview, but it turned out that I am the ideal candidate.
- Past Simple used in subordinate tenses after conjunctions after(after), before(before), when(When), until(not yet) as soon as(as soon as). In such a sentence Past Simple shows a completed action in the past.
He was astonished when I told him the news. - He was amazed When I reported him this news.
