BRITISH MEALS
The usual meals are breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper. Breakfast is generally a bigger meal than you have on the Continent, though some English people like a "continental" breakfast of rolls and butter and coffee. But the usual English breakfast is porridge or "Corn Flakes" with milk or cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, marmalade (made from oranges) with buttered toast, and tea or coffee. For a change you can have a boiled egg, cold ham, or perhaps fish.
We generally have lunch at about one o'clock. A businessman in London usually finds it impossible to come home for lunch, and so he goes to a cafe or restaurant; but if I am making lunch at home I have cold meat (left over probably from yesterday's dinner), potatoes, salad and pickles, with a pudding or fruit to follow. Sometimes, we have a mutton chop, or steak and chips, followed by biscuits and cheese, and some people like a glass of light beer with lunch.
Afternoon tea you can hardly call a meal, but it is a sociable sort of thing, as friends often come in then for a chat while they have their cup of tea, cake or biscuit.
In some houses dinner is the biggest meal of the day. We had rather a special one last night, as we had an important visitor from South America to see Mr. Priestley.
We began with soup, followed by fish, roast chicken, potatoes and vegetables, sweet, fruit and nuts. Then we went into the sitting room for coffee and cigarettes.
But in my house, as in a great many English homes, we make the midday meal the chief one of the day, and in the evening we have the much simpler supper — an omelette, or sausages, sometimes bacon and eggs and sometimes just bread and cheese, a cup of coffee or cocoa and fruit.
But uncle Albert always has "high tea". He says he has no use for these "afternoon teas" where you try to hold a cup of tea in one hand and a piece of bread and butter about as thin as a sheet of paper in the other. He's a Lancashire man, and nearly everyone in Lancashire likes high tea. They have it between five and six o'clock, and they have ham or tongue and tomatoes and salad, or sausages, with good strong tea, plenty of bread and butter, then stewed fruit, or a tin of pears, apricots or pineapple with cream or custard and pastries or a good cake. And that’s what they call a good tea.

Exercise 8. a) Read and translate the text. Do the tasks below.
EATING OUT IN BRITAIN
The English say that in their country the variety of food from meal to meal is probably greater than anywhere else in the world. They say that you can never confuse a breakfast with a dinner, for example, and that in many other countries you eat exactly the same kind of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the same time for the gourmet, "Ukrainian food is of extremely good quality, and it really tastes of something — unlike American food, for instance, which all tastes the same," says an English television's famous cook who has visited this country. He praises the Ukrainian national dishes, for example, ''Ukrainian borshch" with "smetana" looks good and tastes good.
You can have your meals at home, in a restaurant or a cafe', in the canteen of your factory or office. Those who stay at resthomes or sanatoria have meals in the dining hall, which is generally placed in a separate building, usually a cottage with kitchen premises. While travelling by train you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the dining car as well cooked and served as if you were in a firstclass hotel or at the railway station when you are at the point of fainting from hunger you hurry to the refreshment room before the train starts. If you travel by ship your dinner or supper may be served in the dining saloon.
Nowadays many selfservice canteens, restaurants and cafes are being opened throughout the country. When employees or workers have a short break for dinner or lunch they find it impossible to get home for this meal and so they take it in a selfservice cafe or restaurant. There are cafes and restaurants to suit every taste and purse.
In Britain you can find table d'hote and a la carte dinners in every restaurant. Table d'hote dinners are cheaper than a la carte ones. When you dine a la carte you order course by course, as you desire. But a table d'hote dinner consists of several courses, the choice is limited, and it is served in a canteen or a restaurant at a fixed price.
b) Say whether the following statements are true or false. Prove your point of view giving the information from the text.
1. __ Englishmen hate eating Ukrainian national dishes.
2. __ In Britain all food tastes the same.
3. __Those who stay at resthomes or sanatoria have meals in the dining hall.
4. __ Train workers serve high class dishes for passengers.
5. __ If you travel by ship your dinner or supper may be served on the deck.
6. __ British office workers never take their meal in a selfservice cafe or restaurant.
7. __ In Britain you can’t find table d'hote and a la carte dinners in every restaurant.
8. __ Table d'hote dinners are more expensive than a la carte ones.
c) Match the two separate parts to make the original statements from the text.

Let’s have a look at some English grammar! ☺
THE ARTICLE / АРТИКЛЬ
/ це службова частина мови, яка вживається перед іменником або іменниковим словосполученням і уточнює значення іменника, а також смисл усього речення, але власного окремого значення не має і українською мовою не перекладається./
Визначення артиклів Definition
|
"Нульовий" артикль також пов'язаний із значенням і смислом усього речення, як означений та неозначений артиклі, тобто відсутність артикля перед іменником також надає йому певного значення. |
||
Основні значення та функції артиклів |
the ♦ Означений артикль the (=we know which one/s) вживається як із злічуваними іменниками у однині та множині, так й із незлічуваними іменниками, що позначають предмет/особу, виділених з класу однорідних предметів/осіб. Виділення того чи іншого предмета особи із класу однорідних може відбуватися одним із таких шляхів: а) повторенням, тобто а вживається , коли іменник вперше згадується, і the, коли цей іменник згадується повторно, She's got two children: a boy and a girl. The boy's fourteen and the girl is eight. б) коли предмет/особа є єдиним у своєму роді або конкретизується ситуацією, The sun was shining brightly. The captain gave instructions to the crew. (на кораблі один каштан і певна команда) в) коли предмет/особа конкретизується контекстом, у такому випадку іменник має так зване обмежувальне означення/the limiting attribute, виражене: 1) прикметником у найвищому ступені (an adjective in the superlative degree), e.g. I'm the oldest child in my family, або словами next, first, last, same, e.g. We went to the same school. Can I have the next pancake? This is the last day of vacations.
2) порядковим числівником (an ordinal numeral), e.g. My room is on the second floor. 3) прийменниковою групою (найпоширенішою є група із прийменника of із іменником, що виражає належність= the of-phrase), The walls of the room are light green. 4) дієприкметниковим зворотом або підрядним означальним реченням, The boy running across the street is my brother. The novel I'm reading now is very interesting.
Неозначений артикль a/an вживається перед злічуваним іменником у однині з метою класифікації, коли цей іменник позначає професію, національність або вірування, e.g. My son is a police officer. The author of the article is an American. Mr. Lian Donnell is a Catholic. У множині перед подібними іменниками вживається "нульовий" артикль(пропуск артикля), They are X talented scholars. We are X Christians. (X = позначення пропуску будь-якої граматичної форми, тут – артикля) NB! для позначення національності також може вживатися прикметник, перед яким артикль не вживається, The author of the article is an American/American. My grandpa is a Ukrainian/Ukrainian. Неозначений артикль a/an вживається перед злічуваним іменником у однині, коли цей іменник згадується у мовленні вперше, або є одним із йому подібних, Do you want to watch a video? We watched a video about wildlife (один із подібних). |

SHOPPING
My friend will have a birthday party in a week, so I have decided to look for a birthday present for her. I went to the shopping mall which is situated in the centre of our city. It's a multistoreyed building where one can get everything in the way of food and manufactured goods. I must confess it was so difficult to make a suitable purchase in such a huge shop with a lot of counters and shelves. When I arrived at the Central Department Store I first admired the window dressing. Then I went along the ground floor and looked into the shop windows of the grocery, where I could see all kinds of foodstuffs: meat, fish, tinned food, sausage, fruit, wine, sweets, chocolates, etc. There were some commercial counters on the ground floor and I found myself in a fantastic motley city of different things.
Then I went upstairs to the first floor, where I couldn't help admiring on seeing various goods. There were on sale: haberdashery, stationery, hosiery, leather wear, and knitwear. To tell you the truth, I was impressed by a great selection of silk skirts and shirts, different kinds of frocks and coats, leather boots and shoes, woollen pullovers and sweaters, jeans and suits, jackets and blouses, bags and wallets. There one can get everything in the way of clothes wanted by men, women and children: footwear, knitwear, ready-made clothes, furs and what not. I admired the cut and the style of a light summer frock. It was the latest fashion and I made up my mind to try it on. A pleasant-looking shop assistant proposed me to put the frock on and look in the mirror. But unfortunately it was a bit loose on me and didn't suit me perfectly.
On the second floor of the shopping mall I could see all kinds of household utensils: crockery, china, electric appliances, cutlery, pots and pans, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, cameras, radio and television sets, computers, stereo cassette recorders and many other things one may want in the house. Besides, there were perfumery, florist's, gift and souvenir departments. The shop assistant suggested looking at a beautiful watercolour. I liked that nice picture very much and I was sure my friend would like it too. The price of the present wasn't very high, I must admit. So I paid the money at the cash desk. The cashier gave me a receipt and I came up to the shop assistant with it again. I produced my receipt and obtained a gift-wrapped parcel with a string. She thanked me and added they were always glad to see me at their shop. I felt very excited at the thought that I had bought a very nice birthday present, and left the shop.
On my way home I suddenly remembered that my mother had given me a few errands. We'd run out of bread and I had to drop in at the baker's to buy a loaf of white bread, a loaf of brown one, five rolls and half a dozen of small cakes. There was a long queue at the grocer's but I had nothing to do but stand in the queue for half an hour to buy a kilo of sugar and some sausages. Then I bought some fruits (bananas and apples) at the vegetable stall near the bus stop.
I was lucky to buy everything I wanted. Frankly speaking, I like to go shopping.
Now answer the following questions.

TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF SHOPPING
The holiday season is one of the most stressful times of the year, especially when it comes to shopping. Shoppers are faced with long queues at the counters, last minute shopping trips and midnight gift wrapping. If you want to enjoy the holidays and experience less stress this year, here are a few simple holiday shopping tips. The first step to successful gift shopping is to make a list of who you need to buy presents for. You also need to know what type of gift you would like to give each person, as this will help you save both time and money. The next step is to decide where you want to do your shopping. If you are going to a shopping centre, make sure you have already decided which shops you want to visit. This will help cut down on the time you have to spend on your shopping trip as well as keeping you from wandering around window shopping. If possible try to do your shopping on weekdays, or if you have to do it on the weekends, go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Another tip is to stock up on basic items, such as wrapping paper, ribbon, tape, cards and tags, before the season rush begins as the selection is usually better and the shops are not as crowded. It's also a good idea to buy some spare presents, for example candles or chocolates, and pre-wrap them, as this can save you from embarrassing moments and last-minute trips to the shops for people you have forgotten. Finally, make sure that you save all your sales receipts in an envelope, just in case something needs to be returned or exchanged. Also make sure that you check each shop's policy on returning items as this will help you, or the people you are buying for, to avoid getting stuck with an unsuitable or unwanted gift. If all of this sounds like too much hard work, then, thanks to modern technology, many of us have the option of doing all our shopping on the Internet, without ever having to leave home. Many shopping sites will even wrap your gifts, include a personalised card and ship them directly to your relatives and friends. No matter how you do your shopping, it's important not to lose sight of the fact that you are buying gifts to show your love and affection for friends and family. At times like these it is easy to forget that it's the thought that counts, not the gift.
