It’s getting very fashionable to have breakfast now and there’s lots more people having business meetings in London’s top restaurants.
3. What are the key ingredients of a breakfast in a London café?
In a good London café they aren’t going to hurry you out. There are the smells, there are the sounds – you are just listening to the world go by.
Вопрос №3. Speaking
Let’s talk about your family. What role does it play in your life?
There is a wise saying “Blood is thicker than water”. It means that our friends are unstable while our parents and relatives stay with us all our life. I think friends don’t understand us as much as our parents.
In happy, united families parents are honest with their children without bossing and moralizing them. And children in their turn try to be honest and loving. Members of such families treat one another with understanding and compassion. They always share household chores. Children in such families feel safe at home. They trust their parents, share their secrets and problems, ask parents for useful advice and rely on them.
My family is important for me. We have close relations; we trust and value one another. I resemble my father. My father Sergei is a businessman. He is honest, hardworking and generous. We have much in common, that’s why we are best friends.
My mother Helen is a shop-assistant. My mum is a pretty woman. She is kind and patient. She has a lot of household chores and I always try to help her. Sometimes we argue because of my marks but I never lie to my parents. I know that I can rely on them. They give me confidence in my future. I have many remote relatives: grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I visit them very often. For me my family is the only place where I can find support and relaxation.
Are you on good terms with your parents and grandparents?
1) Frankly speaking I’m on good terms with my parents and grandparents. We don't have such problems as misunderstanding between the members of the family. I think that it is due to the age of my parents and their character.
2) First of all I should say that there is no problem of generation gap in my family. We try to be understanding, caring and loving. I can rely on my relatives in any situation. We can discuss everything and try to trust each other. So, we are on good terms.
