Answer
- 1a → T (he’s sick of our British hypocrisy / they are more formal where he’s from / he’s always going to be an outsider)
- 1b → N (his colleagues do make comments / take the mickey, but we don’t know if it’s about him or not)
- 1c → N (he’s a bit down – doesn’t say he wants to change jobs)
- 2a → F (it wasn’t that they were short-staffed – but all they did was stare ...)
- 2b → F (people were very funny about it, in that dry, understated way they have here – suggests they are used to it, and deal with it through dry humour – suggests they’re not happy!)
- 3a → N (invited into people’s homes – doesn’t say where they actually stayed)
- 3b → T (most take on the traditional home-building role / more women are starting to study and even work now ... there’s still a fair way to go)
- 3c → F (it’s the women pushing the government)
