1. Read the text; look at the picture and the numbers in the text with the letters in the picture. Do you always lay the table for guests like this?

How to Lay the Table

First you spread the table cloth and put the plates. Then you take soup spoons for the soup, spoons for the sweet and all the knives and forks. You should put the knife and the soup spoon on the right of plate and the fork on the left. On the left of each guest you put a small plate for bread and on the right - a glass. Don't forget to put out the table napkins for each guest.

2. Parents often teach their children table manners. Are table manners the same all over the world? Read and compare the different attitudes to these table manners: plates, noises, hands. What are they in Russia?

Table Manners

Table manners are very different in different countries. For example, in Britain, you mustn't lift your soup plate to your mouth. In Japan, however, lifting your plate to your mouth is a traditional way of drinking your soup. And in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink it. It shows that you are enjoying the food. That's not true in Britain.

In Britain people don't put their hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico however guests keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. But in Arab countries we really must be attentive about what we do with our hands. You see, in Arab countries you mustn't eat with your left hand. This is very-very impolite.

So what should you do if you visit another country? Well, you needn't worry. Look at your host and hostess and try do as they do.

Tea-Leaves

Many years ago tea was unknown in European countries. Many people didn't even know the word tea, though drinking tea was very popular in the East. Once a young sailor came back from India. He was the only son of an old woman and every time he returned to Great Britain from a far-away country he brought his mother a gift. Of course, he tired to bring her something unusual, that she could show to her friends. This time he brought her a box of tea. The old woman didn't know anything about tea, but she liked the smell, and invited all her friends to come and try it.

When her guests arrived, she invited them to the dining table. The old woman treated them to cakes and fruit and tea-leaves.

When the sailor entered the room and saw a big plate filled with tea-leaves, he understood everything. He smiled when he saw his mother's friends eating tea-leaves with butter and salt. They pretended they like it, but it was clear they didn't enjoy eating the leaves.

"Where is the tea, Mother?" the sailor asked. His mother pointed to the plate in the middle of the table. "No, this is only the leaves of the tea", the sailor said. "Where is the water?"

"The water?!" his mother said. "I threw the water away, of course".

Meals in Britain

Since the 1970's eating habits in Britain have undergone a change. People have been encouraged by doctors, health experts and government advertisements to eat less fat and more fibre. Fat is believed to be one of the major causes of obesity and heart disease. Forty per cent of adults in Britain are overweight and Britain has one of the highest death rates due to cardiovascular disease in the world. Britons have also become more aware of calories, the energy value of food. Some people count the number of calories they eat every day, so that they can try to take in fewer calories and lose weight. Food manufactures have started to help the general public to make more informed choices about what they eat.

So the traditional British breakfast is bacon, eggs or sausages, preceded by fruit and followed by toasts. Britons may eat this breakfast at weekends or on special occasions but prefer a smaller and healthier meal to start a day. Lunch is a light meal and is eaten at school or work. Lunch takes 40 minutes. Dinner is usually the main meal of the day and consists of two courses.

In recent years, foreign foods have become a regular part of the British diet. Indian and Chinese dishes are particularly popular for evening meals. Take-aways became extremely popular in the 1980's. The traditional British take-away is fish and chips eaten with salt and vinegar and served in an old newspaper. The British are famous r their love of sweet things and afternoon tea with sandwiches; scones, jam and several kinds of cake, was once a traditional custom. Most working people don't have tea as an afternoon "meal", but they do have a short break in the middle of the afternoon for a cup of tea. Tea is often also drink with lunch and dinner.
