Americans eat a lot. They have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of Americans don't eat at home but prefer to go to restaurants. They can choose from
many kinds of restaurants. There is a great number of ethnic restaurants in the United
States. Italian, Chinese and Mexican food is very popular. An American institution is the
fast food restaurant, which is very convenient but not very healthy. However there are
some principles of American cuisine (if we may call it so). Americans drink a lot of juices
and soda, eat a lot of meat, fruits and vegetables, not much bread. In the morning,
Americans have cereal or scrambled eggs, milk or orange juice. Chicken or fish, fried
potatoes, vegetable salads, and desert: this is the most common menu for lunch. Dinner
is probably the most important meal of the day, some people have family dinner, when
all members of family have to be there. For dinner Americans usually have meat, fried or
baked potatoes with ketchup or sour cream, com, peas, sometimes macaroni and cheese
or spaghetti; ice-cream, fruit or cake may be for dessert. Turkey, ham and apple pie are
traditional for Christmas and Thanksgiving Day dinners.((переклад

Твір на тему «Новий рік», «Як ми святкуємо Новий рік»

Новий рік – моє найулюбленіше свято. Напередодні мене завжди охоплює дивне відчуття, наче має статися щось радісне та чарівне. Усюди святкова атмосфера, усі готуються до свята – вибирають красиві ялинки, купують різні фрукти, солодощі, готують подарунки для близьких. Змалечку Новий рік – це наче казка для мене.

Ми починаємо готуватися до святкування заздалегідь. Прибираємо у домі, наряджаємо ялинку, прикрашаємо кімнати кульками, гірляндами, красивими іграшками, святковими лампочками, свічками. Мені дуже подобаються новорічні та різдвяні вінки з вітками хвої, яскравими стрічками та фігурками янголів. Раніше я таке бачив лише у зарубіжних фільмах, а зараз ця мода дійшла й до нас. Украинский
