Exercise 3
Complete the paragraph about cultural stereotypes with the correct present simple form of the verbs in brackets.

1. 
   Do you believe in cultural stereotypes? Many people (2) think they are not true, and that you should treat each person you (3) meet as an individual. But this (4) isn’t always easy. For example, if an Italian colleague (5) arrives late for a meeting, what (6) everybody will think? Well, in theory, we know that people (7) are late for all sorts of genuine reasons, so maybe it (8) aren’t their fault. But, in practice, the colleague (9) doesn’t get much sympathy because people (10) have a stereotype in their head that Italians (11) are always late. (12) Is the stereotype fair? Probably not, but that (13} doesn’t help your Italian colleague!
