Переделайте этот текст под Россию One of the popular myths about the English is that they only eat fish and chips and roast beef, the Scots eat porridge, and the Irish live on potatoes. Some of it is true, but the British people also eat many other kinds of food, including their classic puddings, pies, soups, stews and sandwiches.
The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, baked beans and mushrooms. It is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain but not many people in the UK will eat this for breakfast today. A typical English breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereal, a slice of toast, orange juice and a cup of coffee. In winter many people eat ‘porridge’ or boiled oats.
In British schools children have a school meal or bring a packed lunch in the middle of the day. A 'packed lunch' typically consists of a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and a drink. The 'packed lunch' is kept in a plastic container.
The evening meal is usually called 'dinner' or 'supper'. A traditional British meal for dinner is 'meat and two vegetables' one of which is usually potatoes. Nowadays, except on Sundays, most people in Britain eat curry, rice or pasta dishes for dinner. Vegetables like carrots, peas, onions and cabbage are very popular, too. Sunday dinner is the traditional Sunday roast. It consists of roast meat, two different kinds of vegetables and potatoes with Yorkshire pudding.
On week days I get my alarm-clock for a quarter past seven but I get up at half-past seven. It takes me about ten minutes to wash and get dressed and then I go downstairs and have breakfast. Usually for breakfast I drink a cup of tea and have some marmalade and a toast. Then quickly I sort out my books for the day and meet my friend at the corner of my street at ten past eight.
By twenty past eight we are at school and we are able to talk to out friends for twenty minutes before we have to go to our separate classes for registration at twenty minutes to nine. At nine o’clock our lessons start. They last for forty-five minutes but then at eleven o’clock we have mid-morning breakfast for twenty minutes and then have one more lesson before lunch-time.
At twenty past twelve we have a lunch break and usually we all sit in the dining-hall and eat our sandwiches with our friends, or a few of us have school dinner. If the weather is I nice we sit in the playground and eat our lunch there. We have two lessons from half-past one to half-past three and then it is home-time.
After a tiring day at school I relax by sitting down and talking to my mother about my day until dinner is ready at five o’clock. After dinner I start my homework. I always have something to do, either to read a book, or to do some exercises or write an essay or learn for a test. By nine o’clock I always try to finish doing my homework so then I can relax by talking to my family and watching television. Then I go to bed at half-past ten in order to be up bright and early the following day.
