Текст:The staycation

2009 was the year of the ‘staycation’ for many countries across the globe. This new word combines ‘stay’ and ‘vacation’, and has two meanings. The first describes a holiday spent in your own house, where you do things at and from your home. Using your home as a base you use local facilities such as the swimming pool or park and perhaps go for day trips. The second meaning refers to having a holiday in your home country, rather than going abroad. It is this second use which is the most common nowadays.

 I usually have two or three meals a day on weekdays and four meals on my day off. Because I don’t often have an opportunity to have a dinner when I’m at school. My meals are: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper or tea. Some of my friends have a snack rather than a meal in the morning. But my breakfast is a full meal and I have it at 7 o’clock. It is usually bacon and eggs. Afterwards come sandwiches with butter and cheese or sausages, or sometimes jam. Then I drink tea or coffee. I have lunch at about 12 o’clock. It starts with fruit juice. Then I have a vegetable salad and sandwiches again or pies with tea. Dinner is at three or four o’clock. For dinner I have soup or borsch for starter, and meat or fish with a lot of vegetables for main course. For dessert I often have stewed fruit or jelly. And at last supper. It is at seven or eight. My mother usually cooks fried fish and mashed potatoes, beefsteak and omelette. And salads, of course. Then I prefer a glass of warm milk with biscuits. Sometimes before going to bed I drink orange juice or eat an apple.
