I have very close-knit family - mother,  father, brother,  sister and I. In the afternoon all of my family are busy with the affairs: mother works at school, the father is a stomatologist, and I study in medical college. In the evening we quite often gather at supper, then we have a rest, together we watch TV, we talk about different subjects. On days off we like  leave to  a countryside, we  ski and skate in the winter, we go hiking in the summer, we bathe in the river, we play a ball. Still we like to visit my grandmother and grandfather. They are always glad to our arrival, meet us by pies and we interestingly spend time together. With the grandfather we play chess, and with the grandmother we read books and we look after plants in a garden. In the summer i with my family   like to come out to the sea where we have a rest, we sunbathe, we bathe and gain strength. I very love my family!

Еда в Англии очень вкусная, особенно мясо. Практически в любом пабе можно заказать «lamb shank» - голень барашка и сhicken curry - кусочки курицы в соусе карри. Правда по праздникам британцы себя не сильно утруждают: готовят рядовое картофельное пюре а к нему поджаривают на гриле толстые сосиски, либо куриные ножки.
Рыбу в Британии тоже любят, особенно с картошкой, - отсюда знаменитые английские «Fish&Chips», местный фаст-фуд, продающийся в киосках аналогично кебабу, шаурме и слоеным пирожкам... .
про "овянка, Сэр",я промолчу! )
