Royaume-Uni et qui permet de distinguer le vrai du faux, les élèves devront rédiger un article du même
style sur leur propre pays.

Etape 3 : Correction video

Video How British are you? https://ladigitale.dev/digiview/#/v/64df96d9e7507

This is a (street interview/vox pop). The scene takes place in (the street, in England, by the seaside).
Several passers-by are interviewed on stereotypes about the British people. They are all British and
they are asked if they fit to these quite common stereotypes.

What do Ps and Qs stand for?

One suggests "Ps and Qs" is short for "pleases" and "thank-yous", the latter syllables pronounced like the letter "Q".
Another proposal is from the English pubs and taverns of the 17th century: bartenders would keep watch over the
pints and quarts consumed by the patrons, telling them to "mind their Ps and Qs".
