In Britain, the climate is not very good. There are very few hot days and it rains a lot. Because of this, people spend a lot of time at home. Generally, British homes have a lot of furniture in them, carpets on the floors and heavy curtains. Many houses in Britain are old. Many of them are over one hundred years old. Often, they do not have enough insulation and the heat goes out through the windows, the doors and up the chimney. Because of the climate, people in Britain have to spend a lot of money on heating. Many houses have a special system called "central heating". This heats all the rooms and, at the same time, heats the hot water. Houses without central heating often have gas, electric or coal fires. The rooms in most British houses are quite small. New houses are much better. They have two layers of glass in the windows to stop the heat going out.

MEALS IN BRITAIN

A traditional English breakfast is a very meal : sausages, bacon, eggs,

tomatoes, mushroom …. But nowadays many people just have cereal with

milk and sugar, or toast with marmalade, jam, or honey. Marmalade and

jam are not the same ! Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is made

from other fruit. The traditional breakfast drink is tea, which people have

with cold milk. Some people have coffee, often instant coffee, which is

made with just hot water. Many visitors to Britain find this coffee

disgusting

For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities there are a lot of sandwich

bars where office workers can choose the kind of bread they want – brown,

white , or a roll – and then all sorts of salad and meat or fish to go in the

sandwich. Pubs often serve good, cheap food, both hot and cold. School

children can have a hot meal at and perhaps some scripts.

“Tea” means two things. It a drink and meal ! Some people have afternoon

tea, with sandwich, cakes, and, of course, a cup tea. Cream teas are popular.

You have scones (a kind of cake) with cream and jam.

The evening meal is the main meal of the day for many people. They usually

have it quite early, between 6.00 and 8.00, and often the whole family eats

together.

On Sundays many families have a traditional lunch. They have roast meat,

either beef, lamb, chicken, or pork, with potatoes, vegetables and gravy.

Gravy is a sauce made from the meat juices.

The British like food from other countries, too, especial Italian, French,

Chinese and Indian. People often get take – away meals – you buy the food

at the restaurant and then bring it home to eat. Eating in Britain is quite international !

People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been yelled at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At children's sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It's not necessary to knock yourselt out to enjoys sports. Winning isn't everything. In addition, children shouldn't be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health isn't as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports agian.
