A. Over the centuries, nice has become a part of the traditions of many cultures. In some
societies, it is traditional to throw a handful of rice on newlywed couples, symbolizing the
wish for a large family and prosperity. In India, rice is traditionally the first food that bride
offers her new husband. It is typical for people to leave offerings of rice in Buddhist
temples. In Thailand, the annual Royal Plowing Ceremony has taken place in front of the
Grand Palace in Bangkok for seven centuries.
B. The basic recipe for cooking rice is easy. First you need to bring 2 cups of water to boil.
When the water is boiling, add 1 cup of rice. Cover the pot. As soon as the water boils
again, reduce the heat. Let the rice cook for 15 to 20 minutes. The rice is ready when all the
water is absorbed. It's now possible to buy rice cooking machines that cook perfect rice
every time, especially in large quantities. This is particularly helpful in Asian cultures, where
families often eat rice with every meal. In these countries, rice is also used to make
pancakes, sweets and wine - indeed almost anything!

Как-то я решил навестить своего друга. Купил много разных сладостей и бегом к нему. Поднялся к Лёшке в квартиру. Начал стучаться в дверь.Тишина. Никто не отвечает.
