A BAD COOK

I'm a terrible cook. I've tried hard but it's no use. I've got lots of cookery books, I choose a dish I want to cook, I read the recipe, I prepare all the necessary ingredients and follow the instructions. But the result is terrible, and I just have a sandwich or some other quick snack. So I often eat out. I don't like grand restaurants. It 's not the expense, it's just that I don't feel at ease in them. First the water gives me a menu which I can't understand because it's complicated and has lots of foreign words. At the end of the meal when I pay the bill I never know how much to leave as a tip. I prefer fast food places, like hamburger shops where you pay at once and sit down and eat straightaway. And I like take-away places, where you buy a meal in a special container and take it home.

 

MAUREEN'S DINNER PARTY

Maureen often gives dinner parties at home. She loves entertaining. She lays the table: puts the cutlery in the right places, sets out the plates and puts a clean white napkin at each place. For the meal itself, she usually gives her guests some kind of starter first, for example, soup or melon. Next comes the main course which is usually meat (unless some of her guests are vegetarians or they're on a special diet) with a side-dish of salad. For dessert it's usually fruit or ice-cream and then coffee. When everyone has gone home, she must think about doing the washing up, as in the kitchen the sink is full of dirty cutlery.

 

GETTING SOMETHING TO EAT IN THE U.S.

You'll find restaurants for every situation in the U.S. If you are in a hurry, you may just want to grab some “junk food” at a grocery store or a candy counter, or you can get a bite to eat at one of the many fast food chains, like Mc Donald's, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Taco Time. Or you can get a hero or a submarine sandwich “to stay” or “to go” from a sandwich shop or deli. Some of these places have tables, but many don’t. People eat in their cars or take their food home, to their offices or to parks. If you prefer sitting down but still don’t want to spend much, you can try a cafeteria. At all of these places, you pay at a cash register before you sit down, and you don't have to tip anybody but you usually have to clear the table when you finish.

MY NEW FRIENDS

My new friends are the Millers. Mrs. Miller's name is Ann. She is a young woman of 32. She is tall, slim, with long blond hair and large blue eyes. She is very beautiful. Her husband 's name is Jack, he is handsome, too. He isn't very tall, but well-built. His hair is dark and his eyes are grey. They have a pretty little daughter; she is 5. Her name is Sally. She is fair-haired and blue-eyed, she looks like her mother. Her face is round.

Ann's mother, Sally's granny, lives with them. She is 56, she is a housewife. She is pleasant and kind.

She likes to cook, to play tennis and walk with Sally.

Sally knows many poems and likes to walk with Joy. Joy is their dog. She is brown, has short legs, a small nose and long ears. She is very funny. She likes to run after Sally about the garden. She does not like cats.

The Millers are a happy family, and I am happy that they are my friends.

 

MY FRIEND JANE

Jane, an old friend of mine, has the kind of personality people describe as “sunny”. She is amusing, intelligent, and lively. She is very good-looking, too; quite tall, with long, reddish-brown hair and attractive brown eyes.

Jane is very active and always seems to be doing something. She is a computer programmer and works for a big software company in Wales. She is married, with five-year-old twins, but she somehow finds time to paint, knit beautiful sweaters for the family, play the piano, and ride her horse, Misha. She does not like cooking much and she hates housework. Her only fault is that perhaps she is a little untidy.

Jane seems to have everything, but I know there is one thing she would secretly like to do. She loves walking in the mountains, away from her daily worries, and one day she would like to go on a trekking holiday to the Himalayas to see Mount Everest. I hope her wish comes true.

MY UNCLE MARTIN

Uncle Martin is my mother's elder brother. He is my favourite among my mother's family. He is a very interesting man. He lives quite near us with my aunt Angela and my cousins, Anne and Bob. I often go to his house.

He is about 45 and grey-haired. He is still quite good-looking, tall and well-built. He has blue eyes and a strong face. He is short-sighted, so he wears glasses. He takes them off when he is not working.

Uncle Martin is a textile engineer. He works for a big firm in the City. He travels widely in his job. He is an expert in solving problems with machines. At present, he is in the United States. He is visiting the firm's customers there.

Uncle Martin is very fond of the sea. He has a boat at the seaside. He goes there every weekend in summer to sail it. I sometimes stay with my cousins at their house on the coast. When Uncle Martin is at home, he usually takes us out in the boat.

I always enjoy talking to Uncle Martin. He has a good sense of humour and makes me laugh. He does not talk about his work. He knows a lot about the world. He tells stories about his experiences. In general, he is broad-minded and tolerant. He has one fault. He is extremely tidy. He gets angry when other people move any of his things. My aunt and cousins never touch them. He loses his temper.

MY SISTER JANNET

Janet, my elder sister, is 21. She does not look like me because she has blue eyes and fair hair, while my eyes are brown and I am dark-haired. She has a lovely fresh complexion and a beautiful mouth, with full lips, but she is short-sighted, so she wears contact lenses. She is quite tall and has a beautiful, slim figure. She is very smart and looks really attractive when she dresses up to go out with her boyfriend.

Janet is studying languages at the university and in summer she works for a travel agency. She can speak French and Spanish and now she is learning modern Greek. She always goes abroad for her holidays. Janet loves being with a crowd of people and when she goes abroad she talks to the local people and makes friends easily. She loves going to parties and eating out. She is good at games but never takes them seriously so when we play tennis I always win because she doesn’t care if she wins or loses.

Janet is very witty and amusing and she always cheers me up, when I am depressed because she has a wonderful sense of humour. I think her only fault is that she is restless and easily gets bored. She is an intelligent, hard-working person but she doesn’t get good marks at university because she doesn‘t study enough. I admire her because she is so bright and energetic but I think it is a good thing that her boyfriend is a calm, tolerant man and when she is impatient with him, he just laughs and then she laughs, too.
