Shopping. Buying food/clothes, taking things back

2. Read the text and describe your flat or house.

We live in a house. It is a big house. It is a two - storeyed brick building with a garden around it. On the ground floor we have a sitting room, a dining room, a study, a bathroom and a kitchen.

The kitchen is rather big and comfortable. I help my mother to cook in the kitchen. There is a big refrigerator, a gas cooker, a kitchen table, some cupboards and a sink.

When we have guests we have dinner in the dining room. After dinner we usually go to the sitting room. Our sitting room is very cosy. There isn’t much furniture in it. There is a sofa opposite the fireplace and two armchairs near it. There are some pictures on the walls. In the middle of the room there is a big carpet. We have a TV set in the corner. Father likes to watch TV in the evenings.

Our bedrooms are upstairs, on the first floor. There are not many things in our parents’ bedroom. There are only two beds, a mirror, a dressing table and a wardrobe in it. There is a small carpet on the floor.

My bedroom is small. There is a bed, a table, a chair and a wardrobe. There is a mirror on the wall near the wardrobe. There are two bookshelves over the bed. I like my bedroom very much.

We have a bedroom for guests. It is rather small. Our bedrooms are cold. In winter we heat them because there is no central heating. Few people have central heating in their own house.

My father’s study room is downstairs. It faces the garden. It is light and spacious. There are a lot of books in the bookcases and a lot of paper on the desk. There are a few chairs in his room. There is a computer on the table. It is my father’s favourite room.

A bathroom is downstairs. The bathroom is also spacious and we keep our washing machine there. We like our house.

We take, as a rule, three or four meals a day. The first meal is called breakfast. We have it at about 7 or 8 o’clock in the morning.

Breakfast usually consists of a cup of tea, coffee or milk and bread and butter. Bread and butter are never missing at breakfast. For a change some people can have a boiled egg, bacon or porridge for breakfast.

The second meal is called lunch. We have it at about 12 or 1 o’clock p.m.. Lunch is usually a cold meal with cold meat, fish and potatoes or vegetables. Then come coffee or tea with some sandwich or roll. Students, schoolchildren or people who work at factories, offices, plants etc. have a break for lunch which they take in dining-halls, refreshment rooms, etc.

At about 4 or 5 o’ clock p.m. in the afternoon people have dinner.

Dinner is a principal meal. To lay the table for dinner it is necessary to put a table-cloth on it, and three plates for each person – a deep plate, a shallow plate and a small plate for a cold dish. Then it is necessary to put the spoons and the knife to the right of

the plate and the fork to the left.

Dinner usually consists of three main courses. As a rule a cold dish opens the dinner such as, for example, some kind of a vegetable salad. Then comes some kind of soup. Then comes the second course which is usually meat or fish with potatoes or vegetables. Dessert comes to end up the meal. All kinds of fruit make a very good dessert. So at home we usually have a dinner of three or four courses.

At about 8 or 9 o’clock we have supper. Most people never have supper because they don’t want to eat much before going to bed. If they are hungry late in the evening, they take a small slice of bread and butter and a cup of tea.

2. Supper is b) a meal that you eat in the morning.

3. Dinner is c) the second breakfast.

4. Lunch is d) a meal that you eat in the evening.

5. High tea e) the early supper with tea.

Our eating habits affect how we feel during the day. What happens if I have no breakfast, or poor breakfast? I’m likely to be tired or cross, and, of course, hungry till having lunch.

There is a ring of truth in that well-known saying: “A man is what he eats”. Food is a form of fuel. It gives us energy, helps us to grow, resist disease and form strong teeth and bones. No single food can take care of all body’s needs. Different foods do different things for the body. Some foods are better than others in helping make strong muscles. Among them are meats, eggs, fish, and poultry. Some foods are better than others in helping keep bones, teeth, skin, and blood healthy. Among these foods are fruit, vegetables, milk, and cheese.

There are certain sayings from long ago. “Fish is “brain” food”; people say it’s good for brain. They say carrots are good for eyes. Another saying is: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, - meaning that you will be healthy if you eat an apple a day.

There are so many kinds of food – fast food, snacks, junk food – that it may be difficult to follow a healthy diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables are important for a healthy diet. In the past, the sailors who went on long sea voyages stayed on their ships for many months without going ashore. They didn’t get fresh food and so often suffered from a disease called scurvy. Scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C, which is found in fruit and vegetables.

In our country, bread is an important part of our everyday food. When we sit down for a meal, there is always bread on the table. For breakfast, we have bread with butter or cheese. Some people have jam or olives. For lunch, we have bread with a meat or

vegetable dish. Again at dinner, we eat bread whatever food there is on the table. When there is rice or potatoes, we have bread, too. My granny says that if there is no bread, there is no food.

The first impression we make almost fully depends on what we wear and how we wear it. Manners and speech are noticed next and character only later.

So to “present” yourself skillfully is a talent. It’s helpful to have some “clothes sense” to know and feel the types of things that are your style.

Clothes add to your appearance, so to be a little bit different from the rest you should adapt the fashion to your personality.

These days, many people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be

comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything.

At theatres, cinemas and concerts they can put on what they like – from elegant suits

and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.

But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.

In offices business people wear quite formal clothes. Men usually wear suits

and ties, jeans and shirts are not allowed. Some men don’t feel comfortable with

woman colleague wearing pants, so for women it is more sensible to put on dresses and

skirts.

When we are not sure what to wear, we simply watch what other people do and

1. 
   Do you have special suit (or dress) for the theatre?
   
2. 
   Do you wear anything special when you go to a party?
   
3. 
   What are the most comfortable clothes for you?
   
4. 
   Can you name a satiation when it is important to wear the right clothes?

Seasons and Weather

Every new year begins in winter, on the first of January. This day is a holiday in our country and people decorate their flats with New Year trees. In our country winter is usually a cold season. It often snows, the rivers and lakes are frozen over. The average temperature is about 15-20 degrees below zero. The most unpleasant thing about winter is that the sun sets early and rises late - especially in December and January. The days are short, the sky is often grey, nature is sleeping and sometimes it gets rather boring.But at the end of March the weather gets gradually milder. The sun shines more brightly. The days become longer, snow begins melting. Spring comes and nature awakens after a long sleep of winter. All kinds of plants and flowers (snowdrops, tulips, primeroses, etc.) come out. The grass is amazingly fresh. I can’t help loving it. The birds return from the South and make their nests. They look so happy and cheerful. I feel happy with them too listening to their pleasant songs. The farmers begin the sowing campaign. They fertilize the soil, plough the fields, plant trees and vegetables. Everybody is automatically much happier in spring. You feel as if you were born anew.

Spring is followed by summer. The weather gets still warmer and sometimes it is very hot. The sky is blue and cloudless. But sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning. The gardens are gay with flowers all summer months. The corn gets golden in the fields. In summer people spend much time in the open air. They find time to get to the forest, to swim in the river, to sunbathe. Summer is a vacation time. I like it very much, but my favourite season is spring. As the great Russian poet A.S. Pushkin said: “Oh, summer, fine! I’d love you but for the heat, the mosquitos and flies”.

Autumn comes in September with the beginning of the school year. Early autumn is still the harvest time, the time when fruits and vegetables become ripe. It is also a very beautiful time of the year, when the weather is still warm and the leaves change their colour from green to yellow and red. Everything around is greenish-gold.

Late autumn is less beautiful. It gets colder, the days are shorter, in the morning it often freezes. Last leaves fall from trees and cover the ground. There’s much rain and fog. Birds fly away to warm countries. Low and heavy clouds hang in the sky. The landscape gets rather dull. Nature slowly falls asleep for winter.

In fact every season has its fine days and is pleasant in its own way. And it is not difficult to see this beauty.
