I. Reading:
Read the following passage and choose the answer for each question:
British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes- the upper class, the
middle class, and the lower or working class. This is known as the class system and it is important to
know something about it, if you mean to understand British people and society. Most British people
grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very
conscious of it. As a result, more people know which class they belong to and are able to tell which
class other people come from by the way they speak, the kind of clothes they wear, their interests and
hobbies or even the type of food they eat.
Social class is not only about behaviour and attitudes. For example, although many upper-class
people are rich and many own a lot of land, having a lot of money doesn’t necessarily make a person
one member of the upper class. It is also important to come from a particular kind of family, have
friends who are considered suitable. There are people who are poor but they do not think of
themselves as working class because their family background, education, political opinions are
basically different from those of most working-class people. Many people do not like the class system
but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not
sometimes form opinions in this way.
