Task 1 to the Podcast Audacity_1_Kozlova 

(Pre - Intermediate)

Look though the key words: traditional, breakfast, lunch, dinner, British.

 What do you think the main idea of the text is?

1) Most people in the UK rush to work in the morning. This means they don’t have time to make the traditional English breakfast of egg, bacon and sausages. They may have one at weekends though. During the week, they choose a breakfast of cereal or toast with tea, coffee or fruit juice. Lunch is a simple meal. Many children at school and adults at work bring a “packed lunch” from home. This is a sandwich, a packet of crisps, a piece of fruit and a drink. Dinner is a meal for the whole family. Spaghetti bolognaises and shepherd’s pie are all favorites. Many British order takeaways as well! Indian, Chinese food and pizzas are all very popular.

2) On Sundays, the British get together for a traditional Sunday roast. This is roast beef or lamb with potatoes, vegetables and gravy.

3) But… is there anything for dessert? Home-made puddings like bread and butter pudding, apple pie and trifle are all delicious British desserts.
