the restaurants including different cuisine’s such as :French, Spanish,
Chinese, Turkish, Russian and so on. You can order a yacht tour to some
historical places (if any) or something like that. After visiting such
hotels you’ll return home happy and refreshed.
5. Speak about foods you like and dislike. Describe any recipe.
Meals play an important role in human life. Because it contained
indispensable ingredients for life activity of our organism. Such as
dioxides, fats, minerals and vitamins. They are contained in fish,
vegetables, fruits, meat and other food stuffs . To be healthy man should
eat 3 times a day. For lunch people usually eat buiscuits, toasts,
sandwiches, cheese and drink coffee or tea with cream and sugar accordingly
to your taste . For dinner we eat some soup, salad and fowl, fish or meat
with garnish. Many people have to eat out of home in restaurants or in
cafes . In such places you can order French fries, hamburgers,
cheeseburgers, crisps, pizza and many others, but these meals are very
harmful for our health. There are people who like salty and spicy or sweet
food. Also we all like roasted and grilled food , but such it is also very
harmful . Nowadays a lot of people believe that only healthy food must
be eaten. They don’t eat spaghetti, chops, sausages, grilled meat fish,
fowl. They prefer to eat boiled and stewed vegetables such as cabbage,
cauliflower, egg-plants, carrots. They certainly eat meat and fish but
only boiled. Also there are people who don’t eat meat or fowl at all . They
are vegetarians. But it isn’t good, because in fish and in meat there are
some ingredients without which our health won’t be strong. In all big
cities you can find Indian, Chinese Japanese and other oriental
restaurants . Nowadays you can order you favourite meals by telephone, but
despite it a lot of people like to cook themselves .Before cooking
something you must buy some food stuffs. In big cities there are
supermarkets and department stores where you can buy everything you need
in daily life: from a tooth brush up to cars and furniture. Certainly you
can buy there any you food stuffs. like Also there are food shops and
markets. In markets it is better to buy greens, vegetables and fruits.
Meat, fowl and fish it is safer to bay in shops because they must be kept
refrigerator. As for me I like salty and spicy food . For example I’ll
never refuse to eat grilled meat or stuffed egg-plants. I like caviar,
shrimps, pate, bacon, cold pork.
6.Speak about shopping in GB.
Europe dictates a fashion to the whole world. Nowadays France is the
centre of fashion. But in the last century her place was occupied by GB.
At that time a lot of new modern shops appeared. Now their branches are
situated all over the world. you can find . The Most famous of them in
London in Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Knightsbridge . Besides book’s
,clothes’, food shops in GB there are a lot of supermarkets and department
stores where you can buy everything from a button to a car and furniture.
Here there are the most famous British shops:
The Body shop: sells perfumes, soap, shampoo and skin-care products
for men and for women.
Dillons :was open in 1936 as the bookshop to the University of London.
Next: is the a chain of Popular fashion clothes shops for men and
women. It became famous for the suits which were worn by the businessmen
and businesswomen at the beginning of the 1980s.
W.H.Smith: is a national chain of shops which sells newspapers and
magazines. Smith’s also sell books, videos, stationary, pens and office
equipment.
Harrods : is the famous London department store
Sainbury’s supermarkets are one of the leaders in food and drink
selling in Britain.
But the most famous of British shops all over the world is Marks &
Spencer . It attracts a great variety of customers, from housewives to
millionaires . Princess Diana, Dustin Hoffman and the British Prime
Minister are just a few of its famous customers. Last year it made a profit
of Ј529 million, which is more than Ј 10 million a week. It all started 109
years ago, when a young Polish immigrant, Michael Marks, had a stall in
Leeds market. He didn’t have many things to sell: some cotton, a little
wool, lots of buttons, and few shoelaces. Above his stall he put the
notice: “Don’t ask how much-it’s a penny. 10 years later , he met Tom
Spencer and together they started Penny Stalls in many towns in the north
of England. Today there are 564 brunches of M&S all over the world – in
America, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, and Hungary. In M&S the best
selling clothes are :for women: jumpers, bras, and knickers; for men:
shirts, socks, pyjamas, dressing gowns, and suits; for children; underwear
and socks. Best – sells in food include fresh chickens, bread, vegetables
and sandwiches. Why is M&S so successful? The store bases its business on
three principles: good value, good quality, and good service. Also it
changes with the times –once it was all jumpers and knickers. Now it’s
food, furniture and flowers as well .Top fashion designers advise on styles
of clothes.
7.Speak about your experience of shopping abroad, (if any) and in your
city.
In the world there are a lot of women who like to do shopping . they
can spend all day visiting different supermarkets and department stores
searching to new clothes and trying on them. As for me I don’t like
shopping. I think that there are a lot of other interesting things in the
world. Many people like to buy things in other countries , because they
remind them later of their nice trip. When I was in Finland I saw a lot of
big supermarkets such as Stockman, Sockas and Galagen. Also I visited the
biggest shopping centre in Europe – Etackeskas. European shops usually
occupies 4-5 storied buildings . On the ground or first floor you can buy
any food staffs you like. On the second floor there are lady’s and men’s
departments . On the third level you can usually buy clothes for children.
We try to buy different things and clothes abroad because we think or know
that’s their quality of them is better in European countries than in ours.
The service in them certainly better than in ours shops because it began to
develop much earlier than in Russia. When a customer comes to a shop the
shop assistant will always answer any question and try to do his best for
you . Also every season there is a week or two of sales. In Europe the
biggest sales begin two weeks before Christmas. Since for standards of
living in Europe are higher and the economic situation is better than in
our country it is much more convenient to pay the bill in shops . In all
civilised countries the system of credit cards is introduce . Due to it you
needn’t carry money with you at all, a credit card allows to pay for
everything from the cars and to buttons. Not long ago the credit card
system come to Russia. Every day there is more shops permit clients to
pay bill by credit cards. For the last 10 years in Moscow modern shops
have been opened such as Okhotniy rayd , Petrovskiy Pasazh, Gallery
Nautilus, Ramstore and many others . The level of these shops is close to
the European one. . I hope that with every year a lot of new boutiques
appeared and they will sell the Russian made goods.
8. You like your flat and your district. Speak in fever of the place.
I live in Moscow, in North Orekhovo - Borisovo district. It is
situated in the South of the city. In my district there is Tzarizansky
park . It is a very old park and it has it own interesting history.
Catherine I liked the village called “Black mud” and she ordered
architectures Kazakov and Bazhenov to build there a residence, but as the
name of the village was not appropriate for a summer residence of empress
it was decided to rename it to Tzarizano. When everything was ready
Catherine I didn’t like the building of Big Palace and the architects
began to remake it but they didn’t finish their work. For the many years
it remained unfinished. But about 5 or 7 years ago old buildings were
restored. A lot of people like to walk there and breathe fresh air . It is
very important that in our district there is a forest. It cleans the air.
Ecology conditions in our district are bad as the winds from the North
bring polluted air, also in our district there are a lot of industrial
projects. For example near my house the Tobacco fabric “Ducat” are
situated. I live in a 3 room flat. There are 2 bedrooms, a living room, and
a kitchen. In my room there is a wardrobe , a bed, a desk ,a computer, a
tape recorder and some pot plants. In the kitchen there is a table with
chairs , a refrigerator , a microwave oven , roaster, and a TV set. In
the living room there is a sofa, a TV set , a hi-fi system and a table
with chairs. Besides Tzarizansky park there is another historical place in
our district Kolomenskoe .It is a park too. In warm days it is very
pleasant to walk there with friends . I like my district because nowadays a
lot of new interesting shops and places opened here and in has become more
modern. Certainly it is a pity that out district is situated very far from
the center of Moscow and it takes me a lot of time to get there, but near
my house there is Domodedovskaya metro station which is very good. The only
thing I wish is a better ecological situation in our district and then
