What I Usually Do by Day

Let me introduce myself. My name is Oleg Petrov. I am from a small town Lysva. I work and study. I am a part-time student at the college of commerce.

I get up at 7 o’clock, wash my face, neck, hands and brush my teeth, dry myself with a towel. I make bed and do exercises. After that I have breakfast. Then I put on a coat and a hat and go to the office.

I work there from 9 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. At 1 o’clock in the day time I have dinner as usual.

On my way home from work I drop in the shop to buy some food. I come home at a quarter to 5. In a quarter of an hour we, my family and I, have tea.

In the evening I usually watch TV, read books or newspapers. Sometimes I go to the cinema or to the theatre or visit my friends.

I have supper at 8 o’clock. I have a bath at 11 o’clock and then go to bed.

British Pubs

Pubs are an important part of life in Britain. People go to the pub to relax, to meet friends, and sometimes to do business. But pubs are not open to everyone, and they are not open all the time. People under the age of 14 cannot go into pubs. And pubs are open only from about 11 a.m. (opening time) until 11 p.m. (closing time) with a break from 2.30 p.m. until 5.30 p.m. When it is closing time, the barman calls, “Time, gentlemen, please!”

You can buy most kinds of drink in a pub: beer, lager, all kinds of wine, spirits, liqueurs, fruit juice and soft drinks. Beer is the most popular drink, and there are many different kinds. You ask for beer by “pint” (a little more than half a litre) or the “half pint”. When people buy beer they ask for “bitter” (strong beer), “mild” (less strong), or lager. Some visitors just say the name of the maker: “A half of Double Diamonds, please.” Or “Two halves of Export, please.”

Most pubs do not sell hot drinks like coffee or tea, but many sell hot and cold food. Pub food (called “pub grub”) is often good, is cheaper than most restaurant food, and you don’t have to leave a tip. But you have to go to the bar to get your food and drink: there are no waiters in pubs.
