1. Comparisons between U.S.A and England

1.While Americans are the inventors of fastfood and it seems that their diet is a
mere subsistence procedure, the British take it easy.
2. In the United States, most people exercise their constitutional right to own
weapons for their self-defense. On the other hand, England is a country so far
removed from guns that even the police dispense with them.
3. The United States is one of the most religious countries in the world. Three out
of four Americans believe in some religion, while in England only 35% of the
population claims to follow a religious creed.
4.While English television is quieter and less suspenseful, American shows are
loaded with emotion and drama.
5. The British are much more faithful to the old ways and are resistant to some
technological changes. Despite the fact that it rains a lot in England, half of the
English households tend their clothes in the sun. In the United States, it is frowned
upon to dry clothes in the open air.
6.In America the idea of a monarch would be laughable. For their part, the English
maintain their old monarchy and polls indicate that a significant majority of the
population wants to continue with their queen or king.
7. There is no doubt that Americans are more positive and cheerful than the British,
and even when it seems to make no sense, the gringos maintain a blind faith that
everything will work out in the end.

the northern part of the island of Great Britain, while Ireland is located as a
separate row to the west of the island of Great Britain.
2. We cannot compare Ireland and Scotland without talking about castles, as they
are a main attraction for many tourists, particularly Americans. Both countries are
riddled with castles.
3. Scotland and Ireland speak different permutations of British English with accents
and dialects that are highly dependent on the region or even the city.
4. Ireland and Scotland are roughly the same size and boast large square
kilometers from country to city.
5. Ireland's landscape is similar to Scotland's, but overall it's less dramatic, a bit
greener, and in open spaces it can feel a bit like a fairytale setting. Also, along the

SOLUTION N8

a. Which country do you prefer and why?

R// Personally I prefer Canada for being one of the largest countries in the world,
for being one of those with the most lakes, for its ethnic or multicultural variety and
for its typical dishes and because I would like to try maple syrup.

b. What differences in gastronomy do you identify in the three countries?

R// Canada is famous for its bacon, ham, meat patties, and preserved meats. The
best known Canadian dishes are: poutine, tourtière, cipaille, smoked meat, and
some bison and salmon dishes.
Typical dishes of Irish cuisine are Irish stew, and also bacon with cabbage (boiled
together). Boxty is a traditional dish. Coddle, made from cooked pork sausages, is
very popular in Dublin. In Ireland the Irish breakfast is famous, which is served
mainly with pork and can include fried potato farls.
The popular hamburger is a clear example of a dish identified with the United
States and that has an origin in European cuisine, although the cuisine of the
United States is characterized by being a varied fusion of the cuisine of other
countries adapted to each region. An example is Italian-sourced spaghetti and
German sausages, which together make the popular spaghetti and sausage.

c. Which political aspects do you identify of the countries?

R// The government of the United States is founded on one anatomy, presidential
and federal. ... Its form of government is known as presidential democracy because
there is a president. The election of the president is indirect through delegates or
large voters.
The Government and politics of Ireland consists of a parliamentary representative
democratic republic. While there are several political parties in Ireland, the political
landscape is dominated by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, historically opposed entities
occupying the traditional core base.
Canada is a Commonwealth monarchy and state with a federal parliamentary
system and a strong democratic tradition. Many of the country's legislative
practices derive from unwritten practices and precedents set by the UK's
Westminster Parliament.
