Hi,Olga!!Americans realize that individuals must rely on themselves, otherwise they risk to loose their freedom. They are reserved
an American would probably prefer to talk about football, rather than to share his or her problems with anybody. That �s why they are always OK!They are purposeful and strive co compete. They just propose you a cup of coffee at home.They never complain and moderate in everything |

Hello!I can help you!)The
Belarusians used to live, work, cope with some difficulties just in groups,
they prefer to cooperate to achieve something.
Most
Americans believe wealth is a reward for hard work and that it �s possible to
have good standard of living if a person works hard.
But the Belarusians strive just earn money for a
living.
The
Belarusians borrow money from their relatives or friends, the Americans borrow
money from the bank. It may seem that Americans are always OK.
Though
the Belarusians are purposeful but they are not so competitive as the
Americans. The Belarusians do not strive to win all the time.

I can help you!! Americans
have a childish attitude to life, they tend to simplify everything.
While
Belarusian dinner is a real feast,
the Americans make as many hamburgers as
there are guests expected.
It
is the biggest torture for them to wait even 10 minutes.

Good call Alex, I guess we are writing their advertising for them. Maybe I should change my name to "Jack Daniel" to-- I�m sure I could "get lots of chicks" with a name like that.
