Dear Kate,

Thank you for your letter. It was interesting to know about your school and your uniform. I’d like to tell you about my school. You know the school year in English schools begins on the first of September if the first of September is not Monday. The school year has three terms. Between the terms the pupils have holydays.

Our subjects are: Maths, English, History, Nature Study, Geography, Art, Music.  At the end of each term we get a school report. The school report usually contains names of the subjects, the place in the form, teacher’s notes and times absent and late. And do you have a school report? We spend a lot of time outdoors. We visit different museums and other famous and interesting places. Do the pupils of your school spend a lot of time outdoors?

You all know that the hot dog is one of the most popular foods in the world. It looks very simple-just a sausage put between the two parts of a long bun. It is a very tasty and fast snack. It first appeared in Germany where sausages are national food. People wanted to be able to have a sausage on a piece of bread, and so the hot dogs came to life. At first they were not called ‘’hot dogs’’. They had a German name after a dog with a very long body and very short legs. An American once drew a cartoon about those sausages for a newspaper. He did not know how to spell the German word, so he called that sausage “a hot dog”. The name has become very popular, and we have known this tasty food as “hot dogs” since then.

                                      The Coffee Story.

Kaldi was tired, but he couldn’t sleep. His goats were active and very noisy. “Why can’t they sleep?” Kaldi thought. He couldn’t understand  the problem so he watched the animals carefully . They were eating some green plants with little red fruit on them. The shepherd wanted to taste the fruit. He ate the soft part of each fruit and the hard things in the centre. After a minute he began to feel energetic. He was not tired any more and didn’t want to sleep. Those hard things were coffee, and Kaldi discovered them in Ethiopia more than 1.000 years ago. At least, that’s the traditional story. Rerhaps, it is true, perhaps, not. Nobody knows. But we know that coffee grew first in Ethiopia, and we know that somebody discovered it there more than 1.000 years ago. After that, Arab travellers took coffee

And the breakfast is very easy to cook: a cup of cereal with milk, some fruit, a glass of orange juice and a toast-this is all.

No time at all. Practically nobody cooks traditional hot breakfast with gam and eggs and pancakes. Parents go to work and kids go to school getting a brown paper bag with a sandwich, potato chips, some baby carrots, and a can of Coke or Pepsi. Hey will have those for lunch at school. Their parents will also have a sandwich at the nearest fast food restaurant – that will be their lunch. Both the first and the second may have some snack later in the day like a candy or some cookies. Not all American families now have dinner together. But even if they do, some of them prefer to go to a nearest restaurant and just eat there having no trouble cooking or washing up. Many Americans eat what they call “TV dinners”. Those are special plastic containers with pre-cooked and frozen food. You don’t have to do anything – just off the cover and heat the container in the microwave oven and then enjoy your food watching TV. This is why they are called “TV dinners”. Such food is not healthy, of course , and a lot of people in America get more and more worried about the health of the nation.

“Well, my little man, take a handful of cherries”.

The boy went to the basket, but he didn’t take any berry.

“Don’t you like berries?” the man asked.

“Yes, I do”, said the boy.

The man took a big handful of cherries and gave them to the boy.  

“Thank you”, said the boy and took the cherries quickly.

“Bobby”, said the mother on the way home, “why don’t you take cherries?”

“Because the man’s hand was bigger than mine”.
