MEALS IN BRITAIN

A traditional English breakfast is a very meal : sausages, bacon, eggs,

tomatoes, mushroom …. But nowadays many people just have cereal with

milk and sugar, or toast with marmalade, jam, or honey. Marmalade and

jam are not the same ! Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is made

from other fruit. The traditional breakfast drink is tea, which people have

with cold milk. Some people have coffee, often instant coffee, which is

made with just hot water. Many visitors to Britain find this coffee

disgusting

For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities there are a lot of sandwich

bars where office workers can choose the kind of bread they want – brown,

white , or a roll – and then all sorts of salad and meat or fish to go in the

sandwich. Pubs often serve good, cheap food, both hot and cold. School

children can have a hot meal at and perhaps some scripts.

“Tea” means two things. It a drink and meal ! Some people have afternoon

tea, with sandwich, cakes, and, of course, a cup tea. Cream teas are popular.

You have scones (a kind of cake) with cream and jam.

The evening meal is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually

have it quite early, between 6.00 and 8.00, and often the whole family eats

together.

On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat,

either beef, lamb, chicken, or pork, with potatoes, vegetables and gravy.

Gravy is a sauce made from the meat juices.

The British like food from other countries, too, especial Italian, French,

Chinese and Indian. People often get take – away meals – you buy the food

at the restaurant and then bring it home to eat. Eating in Britain is quite international !

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of thequestions.

Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food?, “Have you ever eaten......?”, “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.

In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large amount of beer, and the French drink wine every day.

The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newzelanders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish.

So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

29. The writer think that ............

A. people eat only what is normal to everybody

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 35.

In America, when dining, people consider it rude for a guest or dining partner to belch or burp, eat with an open mouth, smack, or lick your fingers. Napkins, generally provided are available at every meal and should be placed in one's lap and then used throughout the meal to clean one's fingers and mouth.

It is acceptable to refuse additional servings of food by saying "No, thank you" and the host or hostess will not be insulted if you do so. Similarly, if you leave a small amount of uneaten food on your plate at a restaurant or in a home, it is not considered an insult. If you eat everything on

the plate, a host or hostess may possibly feel that they have not prepared enough food and might be embarrassed. People in the United States serve and eat food with either hand, but never take food from a communal serving dish with their hands. Generally, a serving utensil is used.

Americans typically use forks, spoons and knives to eat, but there are some types of foods that are acceptable to eat with one's fingers, like sandwiches or pizza. When in doubt, look to see what others are doing. In formal dining situations, if you wonder whether or not it is acceptable to begin eating, you should wait until the oldest woman (or oldest man if no women are present) begins to eat. When eating, do not pick up the bowl or plate from the table to hold underneath your mouth, Even noodles, soup, and rice are eaten with the plate or bowl remaining on the table. When consuming soup and hot liquids, it is considered impolite to slurp - do not do this. When consuming noodles, twirl them around your fork and then put it in your mouth.

If you are a man taking out a woman for dinner, you are almost always expected to pay. This is for the woman to gauge your intentions and interest with her. For example, taking a woman for coffee, versus tacos, versus a fancy dinner, versus for drinks at 11:30pm, all signal many different things to them. So, the date is a ^-test^- of many. Paying is just as important as where you take her, and how late. So, don't assume she is just trying to get a "free meal". Most girls aren't. Also, if you are going out with a friend to eat, almost always, the bill is expected to be split in half, or each person pays for themselves.

If you are eating in a restaurant, you will be expected to add a 15 to 20 % tip for the server to your bill. In America, wait staff might occasionally stop by your table to ask how your meal is, which is considered good service. They will also bring you your check when it seems reasonable that you are finished with your meal, however this is not necessarily an indication that you must leave right away (Do not be too embarrassed to ask for the check either waiters and waitresses cannot read minds.) Take your time to finish your meal, and unless there is a line of people waiting at the door, it is not considered rude to linger at your table for as long as you like.

Question 33: When will the bill be divided for the people having the meal?

A. When a man is having a date with a woman.

B. When people are having meals with their friends.

C. When people are eating with the elderly.

D. When a girl is testing a boy.

Mọi người ơi, đây là bài thi nói em viết về chủ đề Vietnam'customs and tradition, em sử dụng gg dịch nên có thể có lỗi sai, mọi người đọc rồi chữa lỗi giúp em được không ạ, em cần gấp lắm, em cảm ơn ạ, với mấy chỗ em ghi tiếng việt mọi người dịch sang tiếng anh giúp em với huhu

Vietnam is a country have many ancient customs and traditions. Vietnam's culture has been created on many ( nền tảng). Afterward, these basis becomes unified and closer with every passing day.(Từ đó) Vietnam's customs and traditions was not lost.It's passed down through the generations.
But customs and traditions are different, it's not easy to explain. In my opinion, tradition is a type of ceremony. By far in Vietnam, Tet is an important tradition, the Lunar New Year, which comes in late January or early February. On this day, Vietnamese people spend their time to feasting and visiting family and friends. Befor Tet, we'll clean up our house cause we believe it will bring a lot of lucky for us. One of indispensable thing that can't missing on Tet is special food, in Vietnamese we call it "bánh tét, bánh chưng,..." they're made from rice,...In the New Year's Eve, most of people won't sleep, they wait for the Eve and the firework, i love to see the firework when it shining in the sky, look so wonderful. "Tien mung tuoi" or luckymoney is also a traditional which is very popular in Vietnam, children are very exited and extremely happy about receiving tiny red envelopes from adults.
Beside the (traditional) Vietnam's culture are very disversity, some foreigner think it's weird, but this is only on a very basic level and it not mean to stereo all Vietnamese people thay may meet.
For example, about dining etiquette, if invited to a Vietnamese home, Vietnamese people may bring fruit, sweet,.... In the meal, it's politeness for younger generation in the family to invite elders to eat before starting meal.
And that is a little part about VN which i want to tell you. I think these culture are very novel (for/to) foreigner who visit VN, maybe it'll take a little bit time to understand. Anyway it's Vietnam' characteristics, and i love it.

1. Read and Write Yes, they do. or No, they don't.

I'm Linh, I'm eleven and I'm from China. Chinese food is really delicious. We eat a lot of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat. We fry or steam a lot of our food. It is very healthy.

In China, people don't usually eat with knives and forks. Instead we use chopsticks and we sometimes use spoons.

We usualy eat from big serving dishes. We put them in the middle of the table, but we sometimes serve portions of rice in small bolws. In China, we don't think it's rude to reach across the table to take food from serving dishes.

We do think it is rude to take the last piece of food from a serving dish for yourself. We offer it to another person instead. That is very polite.

When your bolw is empty, someone gives you more food. When you are full, you put your hand over your bolw or leave some food in your bolw. We don't put our chopsticks on top of our bolws. We put them on the table next to us when we finish eating. We don't use napkins, but we usually clean our hands with hot towels at the end of the meal.
