Stories and Dialogues

About Meals

I’m a student and live in a hotel. So I have my meals out. Mostly I have them at the institute refectory. As a rule, I try to keep regular meals, it’s good for your health. I cook my breakfast and have it in.

As for my dinner I usually have it out. Usually it’s a four-course meal. At four o’clock I have tea with some cake or a piece of cheese. I seldom have my supper out. Anyway it’s very light. I don’t believe in having a substantial meal before going to bed.

About Meals

If you ask me, I wouldn’t say I keep regular meals, though I live at home. I make it a rule to eat something before going to work. But normally it’s a very light breakfast: just a cup of coffee and a sandwich. I have a substantial meal in the middle of the day and call it dinner. But when I have no time to cook,

I can do with some sandwiches. In the evening I have a light supper only.

My Mother Is Good at Cooking

My mother is very good at cooking. She spends a lot of time in the kitchen. She collects recipes and always invents new dishes.

We always have a houseful of guests. My friends say that the smell from the kitchen makes their mouth water when they are still in the doorway.

My mother knows that I have a sweet tooth and always cooks something delicious. Frankly speaking I’m constantly putting on weight because of that.

I ‘m afraid I’ll have to start thinking of keeping to a diet.

The Brown's Dining Room

In the dining-room we have our meals: breakfast in the morning, lunch In the middle of the day, and supper or dinner in the evening.

Here you see Mr. and Mrs. Thomson who've just arrived from abroad and are having dinner with the Browns. The host, Mr. Brown, is sitting at the head of the table, and the hostess, Mrs. Brown, is at the other and, Mr. and Mrs. Thomson are sitting on either side, facing each other.

The dining-room table is covered with a white cloth. Mrs. Brown has laid the table In the usual way, and has put the right number of knives, forks, spoons and glasses for each person. There's also pepper and salt, oil and vinegar, and mustard. On the left of each person is a table-napkin and a plate with a roll on it. In front of the host there's a carving-knife and fork.

On the sideboard the Browns usually have a bowl of fruit: apples, pears, plums, cherries, grapes, oranges or bananas, according to the season. The mistress of the house has just served the soup. After this there'll be fish, meat or poultry with vegetables, then a sweet, and perhaps cheese and biscuits to finish with.

A. Answer the following questions and then check your answers by comparing then with the answers below:

· What is correct way to sit at table?

· Should you use your fork or your knife for taking a slice of bread from the bread-plate?

· How should you get a slice of bread from the plate standing on the far end of the table?

· What is the correct way of using spoon, fork and knife?

· How should you cut your meat?

· What are the dishes for which knife shouldn't be used?

· What is the way to eat chicken?

· What is one supposed to do with the stones while eating stewed fruit?

· What should you do with the spoon after stirring your tea?

· What should you do if food is too hot?

· What should you say to refuse a second helping?

· What should you say if you like the dish very much?

· What should you say if you dislike the dish?

· What shouldn't one do while eating?

· What should one keep the newspaper or the book during a meal, on the table or on one's lap?

B. Make up dialogues discussing good and bad manners.

Use material of Section A for questions and that of Section for answers.

Answers to Section A:

· «It tastes (really) fine» or «It is delicious».

· Never eat the stones (trying to be overpolite). Neither would it be a good idea to dispose of them dropping them under the table, placing them in your pocket or in your neighbour's wine-glass. Just take them from your mouth on your spoon and plate them on your own saucer.

· Nowhere near the table. Reading at one's meals is a bad habit: it is bad for your digestion and impolite towards others sitting at the same table.

· Sit straight and close to the table. Don't put your elbows on the table. Don't cross your legs or spread them all over the place under the table.

· Never lean across the table or over your neighbours to get something out of your reach. Just say: «Please pass me the bread» or «Would you mind passinh the bread, please»

· Nothing. Keep your impressions to yourself and don't embarrass your hostess.

· Fish dishes are usually eaten without using knife. If one does, it is considered to be a serious breach of good table manners. The same refers to rissoles, cereal and, in general, to anything that is soft enough to be comfortably eaten with spoon or fork.

· Neither. Your hand quite correct for getting a slice of bread for yourself. And after all, it is you who is going to eat it.

· While eating, one should produce as little noise

· or sound as possible. It is decidedly bad manners

· to speak with your mouth full. Don't put your bread In your soup. Don't pour yuor tea In your saucer. Don't leave much on the plate: it is impolite towards your hostess. If you have liked the dish, it doesn't follow that you should polish the plate with your bread.

· Don't hold your spoon In your flat, don't tilt it so be to spill its contants. The fork should be held In your left hand, the knife In your right.

· It is wrong first to cut all the meat you have got on your plate In small pieces and then eat it. Cut off a slice at a time, eat it, then cut off another, holding your knife In the right hand and your fork In the left.

· «No more, thank you.»

· Cut off and eat as much as possible by using your knife and fork: the remaining part eat holding the piece In your hand by the end of the bone.

· Never cool your food by blowing at it. Just wait a bit, there's no hurry.

· Don't leave your spoon In the glass while drinking. Put it on your saucer.

2. What would you say about the following questions?

· Some people eat to stay alive, while for others eating In a hobby. Do you enjoy your food? Are you careful about your food or do you eat what you enjoy?

· Homes are not just places, and when we invite people into our homes what happens in one country can be very

· different from what happens in another.

· In what happens in your country and In England the same when you ask somebody for dinner?

· You have invited guests for dinner. What time would you invite them? If you invited them for that time, what time would you expect them to arrive: before that time, after it or exactly at that time?

· Would you expect them to bring a gift with them? If so what sort of gift?

· When they arrive would you offer them anything to drink before the meal?

· If somebody who was invited for dinner brought a box of chocolate, would you open it during the evening or not?

· What do you think the men guests will wear?

· If you invite guests to your home (for dinner), what time would you expect them to leave?

· When would the guests thank you for the meal, during it or after it? On the same day or later?
