Сочинение About food на английском с переводом. Тема "Традиционная английская еда" (Traditional English food)

Every person has his own idea of a perfect house.

I usually have two or three meals a day on weekdays and four meals on my day off. 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.

Моя ежедневная еда

Как правило, я кушаю два или три раза в день по будням и четыре раза по выходным. Я не часто имею возможность пообедать, когда я в школе. Мои приёмы пищи таковы: завтрак, ланч, обед и ужин или чай.

Утром многие из моих друзей перекусывают, а не едят полноценно. Но мой завтрак- полценный приём пищи. Я завтракаю в 7 часов. Как правило, это бекон и яйца. Затем бутерброды с маслом и сыром или колбасой, а иногда и вареньем. Потом я пью чай или кофе.

Ланч у меня около 12 часов. Он начинается фруктовым соком. Затем я ем овощной салат и бутерброды или пироги с чаем.

Обед в три или четыре часа. На обед у меня суп или борщ для начала, и мясо или рыба с большим количеством овощей в качестве основного блюда. На десерт я часто пью компот или кисель.

И, наконец, ужин в семь или восемь. Моя мама обычно готовит жареную рыбу и картофельное пюре, бифштекс или омлет. И салаты, конечно. Затем я предпочитаю стакан теплого молока с печеньем. Иногда перед сном я пью апельсиновый сок или ем яблоко.

Traditional English food has been greatly influenced by other national cuisines in recent years. Despite this fact, if you travel to Britain, you can still be served up traditional English dishes in a restaurant or at a hotel.

A typical English breakfast is usually quite big and substantial. It includes pork sausages, bacon and eggs, tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms and a toast. Some people enjoy porridge, fruit and yogurt in the morning, followed by a toast and jam, or orange marmalade. A traditional breakfast drink is tea, which British people prefer having with cold milk. Another popular morning drink is orange juice.

For many Englishmen lunch is a fast meal. In big cities there are a lot of sandwich bars where office clerks can choose all sorts of sandwiches with meat, fish, chicken, ham, prawns, eggs, cheese, vegetables and lettuce. English pubs also serve good food for lunch, hot and cold. Quite a lot of workers go to famous “fish and chips shops” and buy their favourite deep fried cod or haddock with French fries.

A lot of Englishmen drink their 5 o’clock tea. It’s a traditional light meal after work. People enjoy their favourite teas with cookies, cakes, freshly baked sweet buns, scones and other pastries.

British people eat their evening meal at about 7 o’clock, when all members of the family are at home together. As a rule, a typical dinner is meat and vegetables. It can be roast chicken or lamb with potatoes, or steamed vegetables with meat gravy. For dessert, English wives cook various puddings and serve them with ice-cream or jam.

On Sundays British families like to sit together at the table enjoying roast beef, lamb or chicken, served with Yorkshire pudding and dressed with English mustard, apple sauce, cranberry sauce or mint sauce.

English food is simple but very delicious. Today it continues to merge in national cuisines from all over the world.

Перевод

На традиционную английскую еду в последние годы сильно повлияли другие национальные кухни. Несмотря на этот факт, если вы отправитесь в Великобританию, вам все же могут подать традиционные английские блюда в ресторане или в отеле.

Типичный английский завтрак обычно довольно большой и основательный. Он включает свиные сосиски, бекон с яйцами, помидоры, запеченную фасоль, шампиньоны и тост. Некоторым нравится съедать утром кашу, фрукты и йогурт, а затем тост с джемом или апельсиновым мармеладом. Традиционным напитком на завтрак считается чай, который британцы любят пить с холодным молоком. Другим популярным утренним напитком является апельсиновый сок.

Для многих англичан обед – это быстрый прием пищи. В больших городах есть много сэндвич-баров, где офисные клерки могут выбрать любой вид бутерброда с мясом, рыбой, курицей, ветчиной, креветками, яйцами, сыром, овощами и листьями салата. Английские пабы также подают на обед хорошую еду, горячую и холодную. Довольно многие рабочие идут в знаменитые кафе «Фиш энд чипс» и покупают там любимую треску или пикшу во фритюре и жареный картофель.

Многие англичане пьют пятичасовой чай. Это традиционная легкая еда после работы. Люди наслаждаются своим любимым сортом чая с печеньями, пирожными, свежеиспеченными сладкими булочками, лепешками и другой выпечкой.

Британцы ужинают вечером примерно в 7 часов, когда все члены семьи находятся вместе дома. Как правило, типичный ужин состоит из мяса и овощей. Это может быть жареный цыпленок или ягненок с картофелем, или овощи на пару и мясо с подливкой. На десерт английские жены готовят различные пудинги и подают их с мороженым или джемом.

По воскресеньям британские семьи любят садиться за стол и наслаждаться жареной говядиной, ягненком или курицей, поданными с йоркширским пудингом и приправленными английской горчицей, яблочным соусом, клюквенным соусом или мятным соусом.

My name is Anya. I study at the university. As I am a student, I do not have much time for my meals. Usually I have two or three meals a day. I often go to bed late at night and then I do not have enough time for breakfast in the morning. Some of my friends do not eat in the morning at all. I prefer not to eat a lot in the morning. I drink tea or coffee and eat sandwiches with butter and cheese, or sometimes jam.

At about 12 o’clock I have a snack. I drink orange juice with pies or eat an apple, My dinner is at three o’clock. There is a canteen at the university and a lot of students and teachers have their dinner there. Here everyone may find something to their taste: soup or borsch for the first course, meat or fish with vegetables for the second course. I usually choose fish soup, fried fish with mashed potatoes, and biscuits with tea. It is usually loud in the canteen at dinner time. Students discuss their student life here and make plans for the evening.

I do not usually have supper. But before going to bed I often drink a glass of warm milk with biscuits or a cup of tea with honey. It helps me sleep well and feel healthy next morning.

Food is the basis of our life, because human body cannot exist without it. Every day we eat and we have to spend a significant part of our income on food, if we want to have a diverse and healthy diet.

Let’s talk about this important aspect of our life in more detail.

Products

The diversity of food available in modern supermarkets is impressive. In different shop departments, we can buy different types of products, for example: fruit (bananas, apples, oranges, lemons, grapes, plums, pears, pine apples and water melons), vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, onions, beet, pepper), dairy products (milk, cream, sour cream, cheese, cottage cheese), bread and bakery, groceries (grains, cereals, pasta, flour, sugar, salt, spices, vegetable oil, canned goods), drinks (sparkling water, mineral water, juices, alcoholic drinks).

Nutritional value

We should pay attention to food ingredients and food’s nutritional value. Nutritional value is the information about the energy (in calories), carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals contained in a product. Analysis of this information helps to make the best choice of food for a healthy diet.

Fast food

Nowadays fast food restaurants open everywhere – from big megalopolises to small towns. They have their advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, McDonalds, KFC and Subway help us save our money and time, but, on the other hand, they don’t offer us healthy meals. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, muffins and milk cocktails are tasty, but not very good for our health and figure.

Healthy diet

If we want to live long, we should pay attention to what we eat. A healthy diet usually includes a lot of fruit and vegetables, regular portions of fish or white meat, grains, nuts and a few liters of water per day. It is better to choose products without artificial ingredients and with minimal quantity of sugar.

Еда – основа нашей жизни, потому что человеческий организм не может существовать без нее. Каждый день мы едим, и мы вынуждены тратить на пищу значительную часть своего дохода, если мы хотим, чтобы наш рацион был разнообразным и полезным для здоровья.

Поговорим об этом важном аспекте нашей жизни более детально.

Продукты

Разнообразие продуктов, доступных в современных супермаркетах, впечатляет. В разных отделах магазина мы можем купить различные виды продуктов, например фрукты (бананы, яблоки, апельсины, лимоны, виноград, сливы, груши, ананасы и арбузы), овощи (помидоры, картофель, огурцы, лук, свеклу, перец), молочные продукты (молоко, сливки, сметану, сыр, творог), хлебобулочные изделия, бакалейные товары (злаки, крупы, макаронные изделия, муку, сахар, соль, специи, растительное масло, консервы), напитки (газированную и минеральную воду, соки, алкогольные напитки).

Пищевая ценность

Нам следует обращать внимание на состав еды и ее пищевую ценность. Пищевая ценность – это информация об энергии (в калориях), углеводах, белках, жирах, витаминах и минералах, содержащихся в продукте. Анализ данной информации помогает сделать лучший выбор для здоровой диеты.

Фастфуд

Сегодня рестораны быстрого питания открываются повсюду – от больших мегаполисов до маленьких городков. У них есть свои плюсы и минусы. С одной стороны, «McDonalds», «KFC» и «Subway» помогают нам сэкономить деньги и время, но, с другой стороны, в них не предлагают здоровую пищу. Гамбургеры, чизбургеры, картофель фри, маффины и молочные коктейли вкусны, но не очень полезны для нашего здоровья и фигуры.

Здоровая диета

Если мы хотим прожить долгую жизнь, нам следует следить за тем, что мы едим. Здоровая диета обычно включает в себя большое количество фруктов и овощей, регулярное употребление рыбы и белого мяса, злаков, орехов и несколько литров воды в день. Лучше выбирать продукты, не содержащих искусственных добавок, и с минимальным количеством сахара.

Meals (Еда)

There are four meals a day in an English home: breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner.
Breakfast is the first meal of the day. It is at about 8 o"clock in the morning, and consists of porridge with milk and salt or sugar, eggs - boiled or fried, bread and butter with marmalade or jam. Some people like to drink tea, but others prefer coffee. Instead of porridge they may have fruit juice, or they may prefer biscuits.
The usual time for lunch is 1 o"clock. This meal starts with soup or fruit juice. Then follows some meat or poultry with potatoes - boiled or fried, carrots and beans. Then a pudding comes. Instead of the pudding they may prefer cheese and biscuits. Last of all coffee - black or white. Englishmen often drink something at lunch. Water is usually on the table. Some prefer juice or lemonade.
Tea is the third meal of the day. It is between 4 or 5 o"clock, the so-called 5 o"clock tea. On the table there is tea, milk or cream, sugar, bread and butter, cakes and jam. Friends and visitors are often present at tea.
Dinner is the fourth meal of the day. The usual time is about 7 o"clock, and all the members of the family sit down together. Dinner usually consists of soup, fish or meat with vegetables - potatoes, green beans, carrot and cabbage, sweet pudding, fruit salad, ice-cream or cheese and biscuits. Then after a talk they have black or white coffee.
This is the order of meals among English families. But the greater part of the people in the towns, and nearly all country-people, have dinner in the middle of the day instead of lunch. They have tea a little later - between 5 and 6 o"clock, and then in the evening, before going to bed, they have supper.
So the four meals of the day are either breakfast, dinner, tea, supper; or breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner.

Breakfast is the first meal of the day; brunch is a late breakfast with breakfast and lunch dishes; lunch is the noon meal, usually smaller than dinner and often eaten quickly; supper is a light evening meal; dinner is an evening or large noon meal. Many people always say either «dinner» or «supper» to mean their evening meal. Then there’s no difference between the two. Raw means not cooked at all; well-done means cooked completely. These words can be used for meat or vegetables or fish, while the other words here are only for meat. Rare means just cooked a little bit; medium means the meat is pink inside; medium-rare is between medium and rare. Soft drinks are sweet, carbonated drinks without any alcohol; hard drinks are made with liquor: vodka, bourbon, gin, tequila, etc. Beer and wine are not usually considered to be hard drinks. Straight and on the rocks are ways of serving liquor. Straight means out of the bottle, not mixed with anything; on the rocks means with ice cubes. You order food to go when you want to take it somewhere to eat it. You get a doggie bag when a restaurant meal is too big for you to finish there and you want to take the rest home with you.

My family’s meals

My family isn"t large. It consists of four members. But each member of our family has his own tastes and interests. For example, my brother is fond of sports. So early in the morning he goes jogging. That"s why he has nothing to eat before it, because it would be bad for him to eat before exercises. But when he comes back, he has a shower and is more than ready for breakfast. He always needs a cup of coffee to really wake him up. His breakfast usually consists of a bowl of cereal with milk and sugar. This he follows by toasts and juice. My father eats the same as my brother.
My mother has a lighter breakfast of just youghurt and a grapefruit. As for me, a cup of tea is enough for breakfast. And my mother sometimes scolds me for it, because it"s important to have a really goods breakfast. We don"t have our main meal at lunchtime. My father takes sandwiches with him to work. To be healthy, he also eats fruit. My mother is able to be more varied in her lunches, because she is a housewife. It means that she can prepare what she likes. Her favourite dish is roast meat. As she likes to bake, there is always something tasty at home.
Our evening meal is usually eaten at 7 o"clock. The main course is often meat with vegetables. Sometimes we eat pizza or pasta with delicious sauce. We try to eat our main meal together. In our busy lives it is the one time of day when we sit down and have a good talk.
