In today’s age of fast travel, the world seems a smaller place-and to some people, a less exciting place, Fifty years ago only a few English people and holidays abroad, People who didn’t travel thought of other countries as very far away and different.For example, people thought the French all eat garlic(大蒜),the Italians all eat spaghetti(细条实心面).and the Americans all drink Coca Cola, These definite(明确的)ideas of other nationalities are called stereotypes(陈规老套).But do we have the same stereotypes today?People travel more, we all watch the same TV programmes, and ideas travel quickly too.Nowadays everyone eats garlic and spaghetti and drinks Coca Cola.Everyone listens to the same music.wears the same fashions(流行式样),buys the same cars.They just do it in a different language!
