The first mentions the source of information about the position, the second gives facts to aid in securing the position, the third lists references, and the fourth may suggest further communication. But even the conventional form of the application may be altered to suit the originality of the writer. In short, the more individual in form and content the message, the more evident the superior fitness to fill the position.

Meals in Britain

 

A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal – sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms …. 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 of oranges, and jam is made of other fruit. The traditional breakfast drink is tea, which people have with cold milk. Some people have coffee, which is made of just hot water.

Round about 11a.m. some Englishmen who work have their tea or coffee break. They never call it a meal, of course, as they drink their tea or coffee at the office desk or factory bench.

Then, between 12 and 2 there comes lunch time. Most offices and small shops are closed for an hour and the city pavements are full of people on their way to cafes. 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 roll – and then all sorts of salads and meat or fish to go in the sandwich. Pubs often serve good cheap food, both hot and cold. Schoolchildren can have a hot meal at school, but many just take a snack from home – a sandwich, a drink and some fruit.

Those who eat at home usually call their mid-day meal “dinner” and it is the biggest meal of the day for them. It consists of three or four courses. The first course is soup, though Englishmen are not very fond of soup, as it doesn’t leave enough room for the more important meat course. For the second course they have meat or fish with various vegetables, for a change they sometimes eat chicken or duck. Then dessert comes. This is jelly or fruit—apples, pears, oranges, plums, and nuts.

At about 5 p.m. they have afternoon tea. “Tea” means two things. It is a drink and a meal! Some people have afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes and, of course, a cup of tea. The tea is very strong with sugar or cream but never with lemon. The Englishmen always drink tea out of cups, never out of glasses.

The evening meal is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually have it 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 sauce made of the meat juices.

The British like food from other countries too, especially Italian, French, Chinese and Indian. People often get takeaway meals – you buy the food at
