partner from each group and exchange your stories. Have you ever had a 

bad holiday experience? 

1. Maureen Lipman. 

Well, after the typhoons in Florida, and two weeks of non-stop rain in Australia, 

I thought this was going to be different. I was the first person to get my bags at 

the airport – which usually never happens to me – and the hotel was excellent. 

Then the phone rang. ‘Ms. Lipman?’ said a voice. ‘Yes?’ I said. ‘I think I’ve got 

your suitcase,’ said a voice. 

Just going now to change the suitcase. 

Love, Maureen. 



2. Leslie Thomas. 

Greeting from Milan! Confused? Here’s why I’m in Italy. At the end of my French 

holidays I drove very fast in order not to miss the train to Bologna. I was very late. 

When I wanted to put my car on the train, the guard said I was too late. So I did the 

kind of thing I never do and drove through the men and onto the train. When an 

official came up to me, I said, ‘I’m not moving’. ‘Where are you going?’ he asked. 

“Bologna.’ I replied. ‘Monsieur’, he said, ‘this train is going to Milan’. 

See you soon! Leslie. 



3. Clair Rayner. 

When we came to the Caribbean we were looking forward to a very comfortable 

holiday. But it’s awful. The hotel’s terrible. The plughole in our washbasin isn’t 

connected to the pipe and there’s water all over the bedroom. I went for a swim 

in the pool and came face to face with a rat! We decided to take a tour. But the 

taxi-driver didn’t go faster than 5 mph. Worst of all, we’ve booked for two 

weeks and can’t get an early flight home, so we’ll have to stay. 

See you on the 10

MOSCOW 

(Unit 11) 

 

I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC 

 

Task 1. Read the text “Moscow” and do the tasks following it. 

Of all the towns and cities in Russia the largest and the most important is 

Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation, the seat of the Government. 

Moscow has the population of more than 9 million people. 

The history of Moscow began in 1147 with Yury Dolgoruky and since 

then it has always had a leading place in the life of the country. Under the tsars 

the Government of Russia was in St. Petersburg, though Moscow remained the 

heart of Russia. In 1918 after the October Revolution the Soviet Government 

moved to the Moscow Kremlin. 

Moscow is important not only politically, but also as a scientific, 

industrial and cultural centre of Russia. It has hundreds of scientific institutions 

and higher educational establishments, Moscow University including. The Lenin 

Library and the Library of Foreign Literature contain hundreds of thousands of 

works written by the greatest authors of all times and countries. 

Some of Russia’s biggest works and factories, motorcar works and textile 

factories, are in Moscow. 

Moscow is also a great transport centre. It has 7 big railway stations and 

several large airports. Its two river ports join Moscow to five seas and many 

foreign countries. 

Moscow is beautiful. The citizens and tourists admire its straight and 

broad streets and avenues. The heart of  Moscow  is  Red  Square. Here one can 

see St. Basil’s Cathedral. It is the masterpiece of Russian architecture. But first 

of all everybody knows Red Square because the Kremlin is situated here. Old 

churches, monuments and modern housing construction in all districts make 

Moscow a real living museum of architecture, art, culture and history.  

The museums, art galleries, theatres and historical monuments in the 

Russian capital make it very important for the world culture. The Pushkin 

Museum of Fine Arts, the History Museum and the State Tretyakov Gallery are 

worth visiting. And who has not heard of the Bolshoy Theatre, the Maly 

Theatre, the Vakhtangov or Mayakovsky Theatres? 

You know, I myself was in Moscow about 8 years ago and all I remember 

is Red Square, escalators, carrying me to the trains in metro, the Zoo and 

delicious ice cream. Of course, if I get to Moscow some day I will have to start 

getting acquainted with the capital anew.

I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC 

 

Task 1. Read the text “Meals”. 

We in our family have three meals a day: breakfast in the morning, dinner 

at about 2 pm, and supper in the evening. As all of us work or study and have to 

get up early our breakfast is usually a hasty meal, we just have a bite. It is 

usually a sausage or cheese sandwich or bread and butter with jam or marmalade 

and tea or coffee. My younger brother likes a plate of cornflakes with milk and 

sugar. In winter we can also have some porridge to keep us warm.  

On weekdays our dinner is not a fancy thing as a rule. We begin with a 

glass of juice: my parents like tomato juice, my brother likes peach juice and I 

prefer apple or orange juice. Then comes a starter, some meat or vegetable salad 

according to the season. For the first course we have soup. My father likes 

cabbage soup with sour-cream, my mother’s favourite is noodle soup, my 

brother fancies pea soup and I prefer clear soup. For the second course we have 

fish and chips, or chops or cutlets with stewed vegetables or mashed potatoes. 

We don’t usually have dessert on weekdays, there is just tea or coffee to finish 

with. But on some festive occasions we enjoy ice-cream, tasty tarts and delicious 

blueberry and strawberry pies my mother makes. She has a sweet tooth, you 

know. Dinner is the most substantial meal of the day. Supper comes at 7 pm and 

is usually a light meal. We have an omelette with sausage or scrambled eggs 

with ham or bacon, sometimes pancakes with honey, or jam and milk. 

Many students of our University have lunch or dinner at the canteen. It is 

a self-service room. So first we get a tray, spoons, forks and glasses and then we 

take some bread at the beginning of the counter. There is always a good choice 

of dishes on the menu and you can have something to your taste. To begin with 

you can have a glass of juice or mixed salad. There is always some soup to 

 

61


follow. For the second course you can have fried fish with mashed potatoes or 

macaroni or beefsteak. We pay for our food at the cash-desk then go to the table, 

sit down and eat.  

But it is not very often that we have a substantial meal at the canteen, 

more often we go to the buffet to have a bite. Normally, it is a sandwich, or a 

piece of pie or cake with a glass of tea, coffee or juice. As for me I prefer to 

have meals at home, of course. I enjoy cooking, especially on Sunday.

R.: Ok, but only a small piece to please you. 

H.: Enjoy your meal. 

 

Task 5. Read English jokes about food and say whether there are food jokes 

in your country. 

1. A man was having breakfast in an English hotel. He took a drink from 

his cup and then said to the waiter,  

“Waiter, is this tea or coffee?”  

 

63


The waiter said, “Can’t you tell the difference, sir, by the taste?” 

“No,” the man said, “I can’t.”  

“Well,” answered the waiter, “if you can’t tell the difference, what does it matter 

which it is?” 

2. A man was having soup in an English hotel. The waiter gave it to him 

and then, looking out of the window, said to the man, “It looks like rain, sir.” 

”Yes,” said the man, as he took a spoonful of soup, “and it tastes like rain, 

too”. 


3. King George III of England was in the country one day and stopped at a 

small hotel for lunch. He wasn’t very hungry, so he had only two boiled eggs. 

He ate them and asked for the bill. The landlord gave him the bill – two pounds.  

The King said, “What! Two pounds for two eggs? Eggs must be very scarce 

here.”  

“No, sir,” said the landlord, “eggs are not scarce – but kings are”.  

 

Task 6. Read the text “Meals in Britain” and do the tasks following it.  

 

A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal – sausages, bacon, eggs, 



tomatoes, mushrooms... But nowadays many people just have cereal with milk 

and sugar, or toast with marmalade, jam, or honey. Marmalade and jam are not 

the same! Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is made from other fruit. 

The traditional breakfast drink is tea, which people have with cold milk. Some 

people have coffee, often instant coffee, which is made with just hot water. 

Many visitors to Britain find this coffee disgusting! 

 

For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities there are a lot of 



sandwich bars, where office workers can choose the kind of bread they want – 

brown, white, or a roll – and then all sorts of salad and meat or fish to go in the 

sandwich. Pubs often serve good, cheap food, both hot and cold. School-

children can have a hot meal at school, but many just take a snack from home – 

a sandwich, a drink, some fruit, and perhaps some crisps. 

 

“Tea” means two things. It is a drink and a meal! Some people have 



afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes, and, of course, a cup of tea. Cream teas 

are popular. You have scones (a kind of cake) with cream and jam. At the 

weekends people often invite their friends to have a chat over a cup of tea. 

 

The evening meal is the most substantial meal of the day. They usually 



have dinner between 6.00 and 8.00, and often the whole family eats together. 

 

On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat, 



either beef, lamb, chicken, or pork, with potatoes, vegetables, and gravy. Gravy 

is a sauce made from the meat juices. 

 

The British like food from other countries, too, especially Italian, French, 



Chinese, and Indian. People often get take-away meals – you buy the food at the 

restaurant and then bring it home to eat. Eating in Britain is quite international! 



 

 

 

64



True/False 

1) Many British people have a big breakfast. 

2) People often have cereal or toast for breakfast. 

3) Marmalade is different from jam. 

4) People drink tea with hot milk. 

5) Many foreign visitors love instant coffee. 

6) All British people have a hot lunch. 

7) Pubs are good places to go for lunch. 

8) British people eat dinner late in the evening. 

9) Sunday lunch is a special meal. 

10) When you get a take-away meal, you eat it at home. 

 

Task 7. What do you know about meals in other countries? Read and 



complete the text with the names of the countries. 

India      Switzerland      Britain      Japan      Italy 

1. They eat a lot of potatoes in Britain, in many different forms, including jacket 

potatoes and chips – fish and chips is a famous take-away food. You can find a 

lot of different cakes and sweets here, so it’s very easy to put on weight! 

2. In ___ they eat a lot of cheese, sometimes with potatoes, or in special dishes 

like fondue. There are a lot of dairy farms there, so products made from milk are 

popular – they also eat a lot of chocolate.  

3. People in ___ eat a lot of rice and have very little fat in their diet. They don’t 

eat much meat, but they eat a lot of fish – the oil in fish is very good for you, 

which could be why there’s less heart disease there than in many other countries. 

4. In ___ a lot of people eat curry, which can be very hot. People started using 

curry to hide the flavour of poor-quality meat, but it’s become a very popular 

dish in many different countries now. 

5. Pizzas and pasta are popular in ___. There are different kinds of pasta, and a 

lot of people make their own instead of buying it from supermarkets. Pasta 

didn’t come from this country originally – Marco Polo brought it back from 

China. 

Talk about what people eat in your country. Write a similar paragraph 

about meals in your country.    

 

Task 8. Translate from Russian into English using your active vocabulary.
