Fast Food

Fast Food restaurants and cafes are very popular all over the world. But they aren’t like ordinary restaurants.

There aren’t waiters. You order your food at the counter and pay for it at the same time. You get your food in a bag or a box. There are no plates. There aren’t any knives, forks and spoons. You eat with your fingers.

At Christmas, which is a home and family celebration in Britain, those who live away try to get back home. Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year.

As Christmas comes nearer, everyone is buying Christmas presents for friends and relatives. At Christmas people try to give the children everything they want.

The children count the weeks, then the days, to Christmas.

On Christmas Eve families and friends gather for the festivities. Housewives are busy preparing food, and children are sent to bed. They are told that if they don’t go to sleep, Father Christmas will not bring them any presents.

Two Americans were travelling in Spain. One morning they entered a little restaurant for lunch. They didn’t know Spanish, however, and the waiter did not know English. So they tried to make him understand that they wanted some milk and sandwiches.

At first they pronounced the word “milk” many times. Then they spelled it. But the waiter still could not understand.
