1. Read the texts. Mark the stresses and tunes. Learn them by heart. A) The Custom of Having Meals in England
The usual English meals are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. Breakfast comes first and is generally a bigger meal than the people have on the continent, though some English people like a continental breakfast of bread and butter and coffee. The usual English breakfast is quite a big one. It includes porridge, bacon and eggs, marmalade or jam, a buttered toast and tea or coffee. For a change they have an egg or cheese, or cornflakes with milk and sugar.
Breakfast is followed by lunch. Englishmen generally have lunch at one o'clock. The working people in London usually find it impossible to come home for lunch. So they go to a cafe or a factory canteen. Lunch is usually not as big as breakfast. It is generally all kinds of sandwiches, sometimes fish-and-chips or a meat dish with plenty of vegetables, tea, coffee, milk or juice.
Afternoon tea is taken at about 5 o'clock but can hardly be called a meal. It is a cup of tea with bread-and-butter and cake or biscuits
In most well-to-do English houses dinner is the biggest meal of the day and it comes rather late, when the family gather at home after their work and studies. The evening meal is called dinner or supper depending on its size. Englishmen usually begin it with soup followed by fish or some kind of meat with potatoes or vegetables, then fruit or coffee. In most houses this meal is the chief and the last one of the day.
Working people usually have supper in the evening. Supper is a light meal. It is a meat dish, followed by canned food or tea and cake. It is taken between 7 or 9 o'clock as a rule.
B) The Custom of Having Meals in Russia
The Russian custom of having meals varies from family to family, but we generally eat three meals a day. They are breakfast, dinner, supper. Some people also have late afternoon tea.
Breakfast generally comes before eight o'clock in the morning, most people start for work and the children must leave for school. Some Russian families have a light continental breakfast. But most the families make breakfast quite a big meal of the day. It usually includes some kind of porridge, fried eggs or sausages and vegetables followed by coffee or tea.
Dinner is the main and the biggest meal of the day. Russians generally eat it somewhere between one or two o'clock. The working people eat dinner away from home as a rule. Every factory and office has a dining-room or some kind of cafeteria. They generally plan some meat for dinner or fish for a change. In addition to the meat dish Russian dinner always includes some soup, potatoes or rice as garnish. They finish dinner with coffee, tea, milk or juice.
Supper is the third meal of the day and the lightest one. It comes somewhere between seven and nine o'clock in the evening. It consists of some sandwiches, fruit or biscuits and tea or hot milk.
