What do British people like best?

In the eyes of other Europeans, the most obvious feature of the British, especially the English, is "reticence". Silent people don't talk to strangers, show little emotion and get excited. It's hard to understand a silent man: he never talks about his life experience. Even if you work with him for several years, you may not know where his family lives, how many children he has and what his hobbies are. This is often the case with the British.

When traveling by bus, they will try to find an empty seat; When traveling by train, they will try to find an empty carriage. If they have to sit in a car with others, the train may have gone for miles, and they may not be able to talk. Even if they start talking, they will not easily ask, "How old are you?" Or "What's your name?" Personal problems like this.

In some ways, this reluctance to associate with others is a pity, because it often gives people the impression of indifference. Except northerners, the British are never known for their generosity and hospitality. On the other hand, although they are taciturn on the surface, they are still very human at heart. When friendly strangers or foreigners break the silence, they may feel very happy. Having said that, perhaps we should mention that people in the north and west of England, especially the Welsh, are far less silent than those in the south and east.

Closely related to English silence is English modesty. In the minds of the British, their conceit is no less than that of any other nation. But when dealing with people, they pay attention to modesty, or at least show a modest gesture. It is considered impolite to boast. For example, a person plays tennis very well. When someone asks him if he is a good tennis player, he seldom answers "yes", because if he answers "yes", people will think he is conceited. He might reply, "Not bad." Or "I think I'm fine." Or "Well, I like playing tennis." Even if he reached the final in the local tennis tournament last year, he might say that he was just lucky.

Ming's British sense of humor is similar. Its starting point is self-mockery and its enemy is conceit. Its purpose is to be able to laugh at yourself-at your mistakes, your failures, and even your ideals. In Britain, a sense of humor is highly valued, and comments like "He has no sense of humor" are often heard. A sense of humor is an attitude towards life, not just the ability to laugh at jokes. This attitude is by no means indifferent, rude or vicious. The British never laugh at the disabled or the mentally ill, and never gloat over a tragic or glorious thing.

Because reticence, modesty and sense of humor are an indispensable part of the British natural character, the typical British always expect others to have these qualities. He looked down on those excitable people from the heart and always thought they were unreliable. He doesn't believe in sincere promises, and he doesn't believe in the direct exposure of feelings, especially the promises made in gorgeous language and the feelings expressed. He doesn't believe any boastful words, whether spoken or written. For those who like to use flowery words, the British may appear cold and uncomfortable.
