This is a photo of me and my family. My brother, Robert, lives in London because he’s studying at university, but I live with my parents and my sisters Jilly and Amber, in Canterbury. Canterbury is in the south-east of England. It’s very famous for its cathedral. We live in a large detached house. There are two floors – downstairs, there’s a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a toilet. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a bathroom.

We usually eat in the kitchen in the week, and at the weekends we eat in the

dining room. In the living room we watch TV or play games. There’s central heating and there’s a carpet on the floor, so it’s warm in the winter.

I’ve got my own bedroom, upstairs. It’s really pretty. It’s lilac and I’ve got a blue carpet and blue curtains.

Outside, there’s a garage for our car. There’s also a big garden behind the house and when it’s warm we often eat outside – luckily Canterbury often has very good weather in the summer. This is quite unusual for England!

Breakfast is between 7 and 9 a.m. and lunch is between 12 and 1.30 p.m. The British tradition of ‘afternoon tea’ – tea, sandwiches and cakes – at 4 o’clock is unusual now. The main meal of the day is dinner in the evening, usually between 6 and 8 p.m.

There are lots of traditional kinds of food in the UK – roast beef, turkey at Christmas, pies, fish and chips and, of course, English breakfasts. People from many different cultures live in the UK so British people also love food from other countries. The country’s favourite dish is… curry!

Write about Italian food: fact and fiction when you eat who cooks

Eating out isn’t cheap, but there’s a fantastic choice of different restaurants. Indian, Chinese, Italian and Thai restaurants are common.

Fast food and snacks are always popular with children in the UK. Teenagers eat over 3,000 million packets of crisps each year! Sandwiches, a British invention, are very common for lunch, especially in the ‘packed lunches’ that children take to school.

There are now many coffee bars in British towns. Caffé latte, cappuccino and espresso are all popular, but tea is still the UK’s favourite drink. That’s tea with milk, of course. British people drink over 200 million cups of tea every day!

Some people think that British people eat terrible food, but that isn’t true! This is my typical day … For breakfast, I usually have some cereal, toast and orange juice at about 8 a.m. My parents always drink tea, but I prefer coffee. I have lunch at school at about 1 p.m. I usually have some fish or a pizza. 1 ’s always hot food at school.When I get home, I have a snack – 2 fruit or crisps. In the evening, Mum and Dad cook dinner. We have some meat and vegetables or pasta at about 7 p.m. Dad likes 3 Italian food.Weekends are different. On Saturdays, we often have bacon and eggs for breakfast – delicious! 4 the evening we sometimes eat out or we order a take-away meal.

The FA (Football Association) Cup is an exciting football competition in England. Over 650 teams play and the FA Cup final is at Wembley Stadium in London, in May.

At the end of June, there’s a world-famous tennis tournament, Wimbledon. It’s in South London and it lasts two weeks. It’s in the summer but it always rains at Wimbledon! The prize for the winner is over £800,000.

Christmas starts early in the UK with Christmas shopping! In October there are TV advertisements for food and presents. In November people buy Christmas cards. British people send over 2,000 million Christmas cards every year!

At the beginning of December children get an advent calendar. These are calendars with a different ‘door’ for every day of the month until Christmas Eve – 24 in total. When you open each door, there’s a picture or some chocolate.

Twelve days before Christmas Day people decorate their Christmas tree. Every year British people buy about 7 million Christmas trees!

24th December is Christmas Eve. In the evening some people go to church and sing carols – traditional Christmas songs. Children hang up stockings for their presents and leave a drink for Father Christmas and a carrot for his reindeer.

25th December is Christmas Day! In the morning people open their presents. Lunch is usually around 1 o’clock and it’s called Christmas dinner. It’s usually a roast – turkey, potatoes and vegetables. Every year the British cook 11 million turkeys on Christmas Day! At 3 o’clock the Queen speaks on television. For the rest of the day many people play games, watch TV and enjoy their presents.

Boxing Day is 26th December. Lots of people visit relatives, relax or watch football on television. And, of course, the shops are open again.

Scottish people like Christmas, but they love New Year! In Scotland, 31st December is called Hogmanay and it’s a very important celebration.

Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen have big street parties. On Hogmanay, in Edinburgh, over 100,000 people have a party in the centre of the city. There is music, singing, dancing and fireworks.

There are some special traditions in Scotland. It’s lucky if a tall, dark man comes to your house after midnight. He brings you some coal and you give him a drink. It’s called ‘first footing’ because the man is the ‘first foot’ in your house on 1st January.

At midnight there are fireworks and people kiss! There is also a traditional song called ‘Auld Lang Syne’. It’s a song about friends from the past and the future.

In other places in Scotland there are different traditions. In the Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland, there is the New Year Ba’ game on 1st January. This is a big game, similar to rugby but with over 200 players!

Hogmanay is a very big celebration in Scotland and on 1st January people are very tired. But Scottish people are very lucky – 2nd January is a national holiday in Scotland, too!

Hi! I’m Ben and I’m from Olney, in England. Today is Pancake Day!

Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday is six and a half weeks before Easter. It’s a tradition to finish all the eggs and milk before Lent. On Shrove Tuesday, people eat pancakes.

I love making pancakes. My dad throws them in the air to cook the other side and they sometimes fall on the floor! I like them with lemon juice and sugar – they’re delicious. This is my dad’s recipe for perfect pancakes:

Our town is famous because every year there’s a pancake race in Olney. The race is only for women and is 380 metres long. The women run to the church with a frying pan and a hot pancake in it. They throw the pancake in the air three times and they can’t drop it. The verger of Olney kisses the winner!

3 In coppie, fatevi le domande e rispondete. T

2 What do you do?3 What do you eat?

During the Easter weekend towns are very busy because everyone is on holiday. There are lots of different celebrations all over the country. Some places in the north of England have 4

competitions. People roll eggs down a hill and the egg that rolls the furthest is the winner!

The first day of May is called May Day. Spring is here and people decorate their towns and villages with flowers.

Some towns and many villages have a tradition of maypole dancing. This tradition is hundreds of years old. A maypole is a long pole with ribbons. Children dance around the maypole, and they make a pretty pattern with the ribbons. From 1661 to 1710, there was a maypole in the centre of London, near Covent Garden. It was 40 metres high!

May Day in Oxford is very special. About 10,000 people go to the centre of the city to see the sunrise. Then a choir climbs 45 metres to the top of Magdalen Bell Tower. At 6 o’clock the choir sings beautiful songs to the people below.

You can also see Morris dancing on May Day. This traditional dance is over 500 years old. It’s an English tradition but now there are Morris dancing groups in other countries. Morris dancers are usually men but sometimes women dance too. The dancers wear special clothes with small bells on their knees. You can always hear Morris dancers before you see them!

Lessons at our school – Compton Secondary School – start at nine o’clock in the morning. But we always arrive at school at quarter past eight. We go to the school ‘Breakfast Club’. At Breakfast Club you can eat a healthy breakfast of toast, fruit, yoghurt, cereal and orange juice before lessons start. A different class each week makes the breakfasts and takes the money. That way we learn about food and maths. Our Head says, ‘The Breakfast Club is an excellent idea. Students need breakfast for energy. Without energy they can’t do their lessons well.’ We think it’s really good to meet our friends before classes, too.
