Exercise 1 Give the stereotypes for different nations: American, Japanese, German, French, Italian, British, and Ukrainian. The pupils are given a list of adjectives and they should choose which adjectives go with these nationalities.
Exercise 2 READING Read the text and decide if the statements given after it are True or False. Interpersonal attractive Both personal characteristics and environment play a role in interpersonal attractive.People who come into contact regularly and have negative feelings about each other generally becomeattracted.The situation in which people first meet also determines how they feel about each other.One is more likely to feel friendly toward a person in pleasant, comfortable circumstances.People are generally drawn to each other when they perceive similarities with each other. The more attitudes and opinions two people share, the greater the probability that they will like each other. One of the most important shared attitudes is that liking or disliking the same people creates a strong bond between the two. Moreover once two people become friends, they begin to influence each other's attitudes. Personality type is another determinant of interpersonal attraction (e.g. the complementary pairing of a dominant person with a submissive one). People gravitate to others who share their feelings about sociability, friendliness, and warmth. Another important factor in interpersonal attraction is that of physical appearance, even among members of the same sex. Kindness, sensitivity, intelligence, modesty, and sociability are among those characteristics that are often attributed to physically attractive individuals. In one study, attractive job applicants (both male and female) were given preferential treatment by prospective employers compared with equally qualified candidates who were less attractive. There is also evidence that physical appearance has a greater role in the attraction of males to females than vice versa. Behavior , as well as appearance, influences interpersonal attraction. Some experts claim that when people select potential mates, they look for someone whose status, physical attractiveness, and personal qualities are roughly equivalent to their own. According to another theory, a person will choose a partner who will enhance his or her own self-image or persona. Initially, berth men and women use varied repertoires of body language to signal interest. Men may stretch or engage in preening motions, such as smoothing the hair or adjusting neckties, and younger men often affect a swagger. Women draw attention to themselves by tossing or playing with their hair, tilting their heads, raising their eyebrows, giggling or blushing. The first connection is generally made through eye contact, often an intent gaze, which is then lowered or averted. If the eye contact is positively received, a smile often follows and a conversation is initiated. The final step in the initial romantic attraction is known as mirroring, which is a matching of nonverbal body language. By these actions, the couple mutually transmit the messages that they like and are like each other. This mirroring activity is not connected only with romantic relationships. Infants begin to mirror adult behavior shortly after birth. This technique is practiced by therapists, salespeople, and others whose work depends on establishing a sense of closeness with others. Generally, mirroring may be seen in any grouping of individuals who feel comfortable with and are close to each other.
True or False: 1. The most important factor for the first impression is absence of negative information about the person you meet 2. Two people feel attraction to each other if not all their attitudes to life and other people are the same. 3. Similarity of character types is important for successful partnership. 4. Complementary pairing is based on the principle “extremes meet”. 5. People who look physically attractive are supposed to haw good personal characteristics. 6. One of the researches showed that less attractive candidates had advantage over more attractive ones. 7. Women are more attracted by physical appearance than men. 8. Some researches believe that sexual physical attraction is based on similarity. 9. he author of the article compares men’s courting behaviour with that of birds.
11. Verbal language is used more often than body language to show physical attraction between couples. 12. People often imitate the body language of those they are interested in professionally or emotionally.
