Question

Здравствуйте. Задайте, пожалуйста, вопросы к тексту. ( примерно 10) An Englishman’s day begins when he sits down to breakfast with his morning paper. As he scans the headlines there is nothing he likes better than his favourite breakfast of cornflakes with milk and sugar or bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade, tea or coffee. Round about 11 in the morning some Englishmen who work have their tea or coffee break. They never call it a meal, of course. Tea or coffee is usually brought to the factory bench or office desk. Then at mid-day, everything is stopped for lunch. Most offices and small shops are closed for an hour, say, from 1 till 2, and the city pavements are full of people on their way to cafes. Factory workers usually eat in their canteens. The usual mid-day meal consists of two courses. First a meat course is served with plenty of vegetables. It may be potatoes, peas, beans, cabbage or cauliflower. This is followed by a sweet dish, perhaps fruit pudding with tea to follow. Most Englishmen like what they call “good plain food”. They must be able to recognize what they are eating. Usually they like steaks, chops, roast-beef, Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips. They are not over-fond of soup remarking that it doesn’t leave enough room for the more important meat course.
