An opinion poll was conducted last month about the cultural attitudes of people of 5 countries in western Europe: Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Germany.
The results of the poll show interesting differences between the participating nations in terms of which components of culture they regard as the most important. (1) __________________________________________. Economics is given priority by the Germans. History, which occupies the first place for the Spanish and the second place for the Italians and French, is given low priority by the British, who place high value on mathematics.(2) _____________________________________________________. Spanish interviewees indicate more interest in Italy than in France. It would seem that the literary nations of France and Italy are more culturally exciting than the scientific British and the practical Germans.(3) _______________________________________. The French, Germans and Italians identify radio and television as the second best means of improving knowledge but for the British and Spanish, travel is in second place.
