MEALS IN ENGLAND

The usual meals in England are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner or, in simpler houses, breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. For breakfast Englishmen often have porridge or cornflakes with milk or cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, jam with buttered toasts and tea or coffee. For a change they can have a boiled egg, cold ham, or fish. English people usually have lunch about one o'clock. At lunch time in a London restaurant you can have a mutton chop, or steak and chips, or cold meat or fish with potatoes and salad, then a pudding or fruit. Afternoon tea can hardly be called a meal. It is a substantial meal only in well-to-do families. It is between five and six o'clock. It is rather a sociable sort of thing, as friends often come for a chat (поболтать) while they have their cup of tea, cake or biscuit. In some houses dinner is the biggest meal of the day. But in great many English homes, the midday meal is the chief one of the day, and in the evening there is usually a much simpler supper – an omelette, or sausages, sometimes bacon and eggs and sometimes just bread and cheese, a cup of coffee or cocoa and fruit.

Наречия отвечают на вопрос: как?

Прилагательные и наречия имеют три формы степеней сравнения: положительную (positive degree), сравнительную (comparative degree), превосходную (superlative degree).

 

Формы сравнительной и превосходной степеней образуются двумя способами:

Способ 1. Если прилагательное односложное, форма его сравнительной степени образуется при помощи суффикса -еr, а форма превосходной степени – при помощи суффикса -est.

strong (сильный)	stronger (сильнее)	the strongest (сильнейший)
cold (холодный)	colder (холоднее)	the coldest (самый холодный)

 

Некоторые двусложные прилагательные оканчивающиеся на -у, -er, - ow образуют степени сравнения так же, как и односложные, с помощью суффиксов -еr и - est.

easy (легкий) – easi er (более легкий, легче) – the easi est (самый легкий, легчайший)

clever (умный) – clever er (более умный, умнее) – the clever est (самый умный, умнейший)

narrow (узкий) – narrow er (более узкий, уже) – the narrow est (самый узкий)

Способ 2. От двусложных прилагательных и прилагательных состоящих из трёх или более слогов, сравнительная степень образуется при помощи слова more (less), а превосходная степень – при помощи слова most (least)

famous (знаменитый) – more (less) famous( более (менее) знаменитый) – the most famous (самый знаменитый)

interesting (интересный) – more i nteresting (более интересный) – the most interesting (самый интересный)

Запомните исключения при образовании степеней сравнения прилагательных:

Положительная степень	Сравнительная степень	Превосходная степень
good (хороший)	better (более хороший, лучше)	the best (самый хороший, лучший)
bad (плохой)	worse (более плохой, хуже)	the worst (самый плохой, худший)

much / many (много)	more (больше)	most (больше всего, самый большой)
far (далекий) far (далеко)	farther (более далекий) further (дальше)	the farthest (самый далекий) the furthest (дальше всего)

 

Существительное, определяемое прилагательным в превосходной степени, всегда имеет определенный артикль.

В предложениях со степенями сравнения прилагательных инаречий используются следующие союзы: as... as такой же... как; not so... as не такой... как.

Запомните выражение: The more we learn the more we know. Чем больше мы учимся, тем больше мы знаем.

TRAVELLING

Travelling became a part of our life. Thousands of people travel every day either on business or for pleasure. They travel by road, by train, by air or by sea. Of course, travelling by air is the fastest and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive, too. Travelling by train is slower than travelling by plane, but it is less expensive. You can see many interesting places of the country through the window. Modern trains have more comfortable seats. There are also sleeping cars and dining cars that make even the longest journey more pleasant. Speed, comfort and safety are the main advantages of trains and planes. That is why many people prefer them to all other kinds of travelling. Travelling by sea is popular mostly for pleasure trips. Tourists can make voyages on large ships to foreign countries. The trips on the Volga, the Don and the Black Sea are very popular today. As for me I prefer travelling by car. I think it's more convenient because you don't buy tickets, you can stop any place and spend as much time as you like at any place.

Words: either... or – или... или; business travel – деловая поездка, командировка; advantages – преимущества; train – поезд; fast – быстрый; slow – медленный; convenient – удобный; way – путь, способ; sleeping car – спальный вагон; dining car – вагон ресторан; expensive – дорогой (о стоимости); sleeping car – спальный вагон; dining car – вагон-ресторан; journey – путешествие, поездка; mostly – главным образом; voyage – путешествие (по воде); trip – путешествие; to prefer – предпочитать; pleasant – приятный; plane (airplane) – самолет; kind – вид, род, сорт

Questions. 1. Do you think modern life is impossible without travelling? 2. Why do people travel? 3. What are the means of travelling? 4. How do you prefer to travel and why? 5. What is the fastest kind of travelling?
