1
Britain or Great Britain is a geographical area consisting of England, Scotland and Wales. The name Britain or Great Britain
is often also incorrectly used to refer to the political state, officially called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland. This is abbreviated to the United Kingdom or the UK. London, the capital of England, is also the capital of the UK.
2
To refer to the nationality of the people of Britain or the United Kingdom, you use the adjective British. English
describes people from England and should not be used to describe people from Ireland, Scotland and Wales, who are
Irish, Scottish and Welsh, respectively.
3
British people place considerable value on punctuality. If you agree to meet friends at three o’clock, you can
bet that they’ll be there just after three. Since the British are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very
rushed. In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few
10 minutes late. If you are unable to keepanappointment, itis expected that you call the person you are meeting. Some
general tips follow.
4
You should arrive:
> at the exact time specified – for dinner, lunch, or appointments with professors, doctors, and other professionals;
> any time during the hours specified for teas, receptions, and cocktail parties;
> a few minutes early – for public meetings, plays, concerts, movies, sporting events, classes, church services, and weddings.
5
If you are invited to someone’s house for dinner at half past seven, they will expect you to be there on the
dot. An invitation might state “7:30 for 8”, in which case you should arrive no later than 7:50. However, if an invitation says “sharp”, you must arrive in plenty of time.
Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English (adapted).

Based on the text above, it can be concluded that
3 it’s all right to break an appointment as long as you ring the person you were meeting beforehand.
6 The reason for British life to seem too hurried could be the fact that they are always concerned about time.
7 The British demand absolute punctuality for all the social, professional and personal meetings they arrange.
In the text,
In the text,
“on the dot” (l.17-18) means exactly on time, or at the time specified.
(um convite que afirma "7:30 para 8" significa que é necessário chegar às 7:30 no evento programado para começar às 8.)
