    For me unfortunately, when I hear the word English, I think of the dreaded english 10 class I actually have to go and retake. Not that I failed, it's a long story, but it ends in losing all my english work to a house fire and not finishing the year - so the government has decided to make me do it all over again. How is it I can be done english 11, top of the class as well - and yet I still have to go back and re-do english 10??? *sigh*

    I think your teacher is looking for notions of 'Englishness'.

    Here's some: Cricket, tennis, football, tea, pop music, the weather (moaning about it), the class system, monarchy, beer, pub culture etc etc. What you'll find is that it's difficult to define what being 'English' really is. For example things we regard as typically English, like cricket came from India - as did tea, during our dark days of imperialism.

    Being a Bi lingual sort, and always travelling somewhere the local tongue invariably isn't, when i here the word english, i think of the language.

    I would hardly count the Passion as English seeing as it was made by an anti-english americanised australian.
