In the afternoon, at tea time the English, as you know, like to have a cup of tea with milk. Some Englishmen have their dinner late in the evening. For dinner they have soup, fish or meat, vegetables, pudding and fruit.

For supper they usually have a glass of milk and a cake or a cup of tea and a sandwich.

Hello! I am a guide. My name is Olha. You are in the my native village. Popivka is a not big village of Lypovets district Vinnytsa region on a small river Sobka.

According to the document the village was founded in 1840-1848.            

The earl Strutynskiy came to Peterburh and his son sold their village.     The large part of land bought the church , that is why land was name  popivska, in the future – Popivka.

 One of the famous place is Church of St.Paraskevy. It was restored in 1994. Not far from this place  are the school,the Palace  of Culture. Certainly there is the monument to the Soviet soldiers , who defended our  village. In this tomb there are  more than 200 soldiers , from all the regions of the Soviet Union.

 One kilometres from the village  there is a obelisk. On this historical place Hryhoriy Tkachenko was repeated heroic deed of          Olexandr  Matrosov.

Tkachenko  was born in the village Krasna Yaruha in Russia. But was   killed on Ukrainian land in the fight against enemies in the days of the Great Patriotic War.

Don  t  forget that  Taras Shevchenko  - the greatest Ukrainian poet ,  may be visited our village in 1856, when he studied  history, painted and wrote poetry. He was visited  a small village Pisochyn, Zhornyshchi, next Nemyriv and Tulchyn too.

The Seasons in England

English families like to spend their holidays and the weekends in the countryside. The English countryside is like a carpet of many flowers in every season. In spring and summer the fields, the meadows and the forests are light green and dark green. The gardens are red, blue, yellow and white with flowers. In autumn the leaves on the trees change their colour from green to yellow, brown, red and orange. The English summer is never very hot and in winter it is not very cold. Spring and autumn are cool. Cold wind blows in winter from the sea, in summer the winds are cool. There is little snow in winter, and it never stays on the ground for long. There is little snow in winter, and it never stays on the ground for long. But there is much rain in England all the year round. The weather is very changeable. The grass in the mountains is green all the year round. That’s why you can see many cows and sheep in the meadows. English children like to play football very much. They can play football even in winter because the football fields are always green. All children like summer best of all because it is the season of their holidays. They can go to the seaside, play in green parks and walk in the mountains.

The parrots

 

     Parrots live in the forests of South America, where summer lasts all the year round, where leaves are always green. The parrots make their homes in the forest, because there they can find shade in the heat of the day.

    Parrots eat fruit and nuts. They like wild cherries best of all. They like them because of the stones. The beak of the parrot is very sharp and it cracks these stones easily.

    Parrots like to bathe very much. They fly about till they find water. They dip into the water and splash it over their feathers. Then they sit in the sun till they are dry. In the middle of the day the heat becomes very great. Then parrots fly in the deepest shade. They sit in the trees and sleep. But in the evening, when the sun is going down, they wake up. They eat fruit, go to the water and bathe again. Only after that they go to the rest for the night.

    People can tame parrots. The parrot is a very interesting pet, because it can talk.

Clothes We Wear

  Clothes give a lot of information about us. For example, we wear clothes to keep us warm because unlike animals we do not have a protecting covering of hair. But in different life situations we dress in clothes of different colours, style and material; for official parties men wear dark suits and a tie (or a bowtie) and I women wear long evening dresses and jewellery. There are some strict rules about clothes style. We do not, for instance, wear football boots with a dinner jacket, or jeans to work in a bank. A farmer who takes care of animals or works in a field will not wear a suit and a bowtie. There are many schools where schoolchildren must wear a school uniform. Of course, not all boys and girls like this rule. If you go to the beach on a sunny day, you usually put on a T-shirt, shorts and sandals because you want to feel comfortable. Our clothes say something about our character and our positive or negative attitude to life.

 

 

Listen the text and tick True or False with these state­ments.

1. Animals' clothes are their hair.
2. We wear different clothes on different occasions.
3. Men wear jeans and T-shirts at the official parties.
4. We can't wear training shoes with a long evening dress.
5. Very few schools have a school uniform.

Food and Drinks (English Meals)

The Englishmen usually have four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, tea (5 o'clock) and dinner. Breakfast can be a full "English breakfast" of cornflakes with milk and sugar, or bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade, tea or coffee. Some people have just a cup of tea or coffee with a toast. This is usually called "continental breakfast". At midday everything is stopped for lunch. Most offices and small shops are closed for an hour and people visit cafes, coffee bars or restaurants for lunch. Factory workers usually eat in their canteens. The Englishmen like what they call "good plain food". They must know what they are eating. Usually they like steak, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, fish and chips. Afternoon tea is at about 5 o'clock. It is a cup of tea with cakes or biscuits. Dinner is usually at 7 o'clock. The main course can be fish or meat (roast beef) with a lot of vegetables.
