Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One of characteristics that are famous of British people (be) their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery (自嘲). This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: “I am on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it.” This is well-known self-mockery joke. It's difficult why self-mockery (tie) to the British people. But every nation's sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty, (mean) not talking openly about your skills.

It also acts as a defense of our self-respect by playing down our skills, this can (less) the chance of people criticizing us.
