Hello everyone, today we will speak about the characteristics of citizens of 3 different

countries including Moldova, the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. We chose this topic
because we were interested to find out new things about people from around the world.
Our objectives were to learn how those 3 nations differ and what similarities are between
them. We divided our speech in 4 sections:
1. General characteristics
2.Famous celebrations
3.Traditional Clothing.
4.Conclusion
It is known that every person who lives on this planet is different; we have different beliefs,
views about things and personalities. But now we wont speak about that, we will speak
about defining characteristics of Moldovan, British and American people.
Moldovan people are very hospitable and hard-working although there is a common belief
that our people are far away from European culture. But we also have some rules that
define our people. It is proper to drink at least a symbolic amount of wine during a meal or
in a ritual context to honor the host and toast the health of the people present.
Occasionally in villages, toasting with the left hand may not be regarded as proper. It is
also improper to blow one's nose at the table.
BRITISH
According to some researches British people are seen as people who respect the rule of
law, educated and skilled and most important polite and with very good manners.
Although they are also known to be reserved and obsessed with class.
AMERICAN
There are many defining characteristics of American people but we can list the fact that
they are hard working. Overall, this is a good thing. But one could argue that they actually
work too hard, and for too little reward. They understand that hard work equals success.

The Mrior
Now we would like to speak about traditional holidays in
those countries
Moldovan Holiday
Mriorul is an old celebration from Romania and
Republic of Moldova which takes place on 1st day of
March. In this day people give to each other the Mrior
and this way they protect themselves and have a symbol
of friendship and respect. Back in the old days the
Mrior was made from a golden coin with an attached
white and red string, it was worn for 12 days and after
that, girls were putting it in their hair untill the first tree
bloomed. When this happened they were attaching the
Mrior to a tree and using the golden coin they were
buiyng curd.

Moldovan traditional clothes

Moldovan
The Moldovan traditional clothes have a long history
and its mostly the same as the Romanian. In the
past, during the process of costume decoration it was
prohibited to copy patterns and deviate from the
national traditions. Each girl had to create her unique
festive costume with a glance to local traditions,
demonstrating her aesthetic taste. The attire
accorded with the character, age and social status of
its owner, it harmonized with the appearance of the
owner, the color of his/her eyes and hair. In the past,
it was impossible to find two identical female
costumes; they had different patterns, colors,
proportions. The same principle masters (they were
mothers, grandmothers, or brides) held when sewing
men's shirts.

British traditional clothing

British clothing
England, unlike Wales and Scotland, has no national dress.
Some people think men in England wear suits and bowler
hats but it is very unusual these days to see anyone
wearing a bowler hat.
In Scotland the national dress is a kilt. The kilt is worn
around the waist. The national costume of Wales on the
other hand is a long skirt, worn with a petticoat and
topped with a shawl. Also there is Irish clothing: Irish
people, both men and women wore simple knee-length
outfits made of wool.

American Clothing

American clothing
Although the traditional American clothes should be the redskins
clothing, we are speaking about the U.S.A and we can talk about the
cowboy culture which includes jeans, tuxedos and denim jackets.

The

End
CONCLUSION
In conclusion we can say that our
personal research helped us to learn a
lot of new things, and although the
countries we talked about are far away
from each other there are things that
make us the same people and also we
are all united by our beloved ENGLISH
LANGUAGE.
