Exercise 16
Sum up the following text in 5 sentences.
To travel through the whole of England is to realise what a rich and varied country it is. From one county
to the next you could be on a different island, this being particularly true of the East and West coasts, the
North of England and the South. The food from place to place varies, too. The thick clotted cream of
Cornwall and Devonshire does not travel far from where it'was made, any more than the succulent
Cumberland sausage leaves Cumbria. The wildfowl of the Fens do not mingle with the fat Aylesbury
ducklings and Lincolnshire stuffed chine also stays at home. The English are rightly proud of their heritage
and today, amongst the welter of take-aways and fast food places, they are even more determined to keep it
alive. Traditions sometimes connected with food are not lost either.
The Reverend Sydney Smith (1771—1845), the witty, food-loving canon of St. Paul's wrote: 'I am
convinced that character, talents, virtues and qualities are powerfiilly affected by beef, mutton, pie crust and
rich soup.'

Good morning. Dr. Jones. Do you mind if I sit on the sofa? 
D r. J о n e s:
No, not at аll. You can take any seat you like. So you would tike to lose weight, wouldn't
you? 
Mrs. Fat:
Exactly. I've been overweight all my life and now I think it's time I started dieting.
D r. J o n e s: Oh, yes. I see. You know... before I can recommend you a particular diet I must team all
about your eating habits. How many meals a day do you normally have?
Mrs. Fat:    I usually have only three meals a day. I mean breakfast, lunch and dinner, but unfortunately I
very often eat between meals.
