8. Read the following information about the American dream and discuss it
with your friends. Try to guess what the English and Ukrainians dream about.
To start with nothing, to work hard, and then to make a fortune – this is the
American dream. People in the U.S.A. want more than anything else to be
successful. And when they’ve made their money, they like to show it off by
driving expensive cars and buying beautiful furniture for their homes.
One bad result of this is that people never seem to stop working. Some even
hold two full-time jobs at the same time. This means that there is not much time
for the good things in life, such as hours spent with one’s family. Few families
play games together, go for walks together, or even sit down every evening
around the family table for a home-cooked meal.
The good result, though, is the confidence that many Americans have in
themselves. They seem to feel that they can do anything, and get whatever they
want if they try hard enough. It may take a lot of work to do well in America,
but it’s certainly exciting.
(N. Mamontova, “Insights into Cross-Cultural Communication”)
the British Dream has come to stand for home ownership, having a secure job and
a living standard higher than your parents.
The Ukrainian Dream maybe to be independent, free and of course have a big
family.
