Our family has a shopping day. It is Saturday. My father gets up early on Saturday. He likes to say that an early riser is sure to be in luck. My father and I usually go to the shops on this day.

In the morning we ask our mother what we need. We take bags and go to the shops. First of all we go to the butcher's shop. We prefer to eat sausage and meat instead of fish, that's why we buy two kilogrammes of meat for a week. My father usually takes some tinned meat and we often prepare supper using tinned meat. My brother Nick likes to eat eggs and we often buy ten eggs and three chickens for a week.

We usually visit the baker's shop when we go home. My sister Mary is a sweet tooth, she likes sweets very much, and that is why my father and I buy a lot of rolls and buns.

The shop assistant usually suggests to buy cakes, biscuits and tasty tea. For example, I like cakes and coffee and I very often ask my father to buy different cakes.

One says that there is no accounting for tastes. My father likes coffee and cakes too and he agrees to buy them.

One day my two friends Alex and Paul came to see me. Alex had a bag in his hand. He said that his mother had sent him to the greengrocer's shop.

I decided that I should go to the shop too, as my grandmother asked me to buy milk and cheese at the dairy. It took us ten minutes to get to the greengro­cer's shop because it was not far from our house.

The shop was big. The shop windows were nice.

Alex explained that his father had already bought carrots, tomatoes and he had to buy potatoes, onions and cucumbers. We looked at the counters and saw fresh vegetables. We asked the shop assistant to weigh three kilogrammes of potatoes, one kilogramme of onions and two kilogrammes of cucumbers. When she had weighed the vegetables she said how much it cost. Alex took money from the pocket, paid for the vegetables and put all vegetables into his bag. The bag became very heavy and Mike helped Alex to carry it. He thought that a friend in need was a friend indeed.

Then we went to the dairy. We did not take a bus, we went on foot. When we came to the dairy there were a lot of people there. We could see many fresh foods there, but I was asked to buy milk and cheese. It took us twenty minutes to stand in a queue, but it was obvious that we should buy fresh milk and cheese.

When I returned home my grandmother was glad that I had bought such tasty cheese and fresh milk and she thanked me for shopping.

2. Прочитайте и переведите текст:

Some people have three or four meals a day. Others eat little amounts at some intervals throughout the day.

The first traditional meal is usually breakfast. People have it early in the morning at 7 or 8 o'clock before going out. Some people have light breakfast, consisting of a sandwich with cheese or sausage, or scrambled eggs with a slice of bread and butter. Others prefer more solid and substantial food, like fried or boiled potatoes with ham or chop; or porridge (rice, semolina or buckwheat porridge); or macaroni with sausages. The usual drink for break­fast is a cup of coffee or strong tea with sugar, milk or lemon. Most people skip breakfast because they don't have time. Dinner is the biggest meal of the day. Some people have dinner at work; others have it at home when they come from work.

Dinner usually begins with an appetizer: a little salad, a piece of herring or perhaps some pickled or marinated mushrooms, tomatoes or cucumbers.

The main course of the dinner is soup. For the 1^st course we may eat chicken soup or cabbage soup (shchi), or beetroot and cabbage soup (borshch), sol-yanka, noodle soup or just broth- In spring and summer when it's hot it's so nice to have the soup called "okroshka", a traditional Russian dish (cold kvas with chopped vegetables and meat).

For the second course we eat roast meat or stewed meat and fried or boiled potatoes, or spaghetti. Many people like fish for dinner. All these dishes are juicy and tender.

For the dessert we drink a glass of mineral water, lemonade or juice. Tradi­tional drinks are mors and kvas. Sometimes we have fresh or canned fruit. If you aren't on a diet you may enjoy a piece of cake or pie. In summer every­body adores to have a piece of melon or watermelon.

In our country many families also prefer to eat take-away food for dinner instead of cooking or eat at the McDonald's which have recently become popular in Russia for the obvious reasons. They are cheap and fast served.

Supper is the last meal of the day. Supper must be a light meal because it isn't good to eat much in the evening. The proverb says, "After dinner sleep a while, after supper walk a mile". Although many people prefer mashed po­tatoes with pickled or fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, carrot, leek). Others eat stewed cabbage with a beefsteak or fried liver or kidneys. We

finish supper with a glass of tea or milk.

A special Russian dish is "pyelmeni" - small cases of pasta containing chopped meat (beef and pork mixed). Pancakes with honey, caviar are one of the most popular dishes on the Russia table. They can be served as a main dish or as a dessert. There are small ones called oladyi and big round ones called bliny. They are also made in great quantity at Maslenitsa, a week-long spring festival the last week before Lent.

Most supermarkets sell a range of prepared meals to be cooked in the mi­crowave.

There are the Food Courts in the cities that seats a lot of people and caters for every taste with dishes from all around the world. The aromatic smells that come from the Food Courts are so delicious that your mouth will water. In recent years foreign foods have become a regular part of our life. The restaurants contain many delicatessens offering cuisine from many countries including France, Italy, Greece, Japan and Poland. So nowadays many people prefer to eat out. There are a lot of places offering good value for money and having interesting decor.
