Modern myths

1. Scientists at Oxford University did some research into the brains of different groups of mammals. They looked at the changes in the size of the brains over the last 60 million years and they discovered that there were bigger changes in dogs’ brains than there were in cats’ brains. They think that dogs are cleverer than cats because they are more social.
2. There are 12 countries in South America including Argentina and Brazil. It has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometres and its population is over 371,090,000. North America includes Canada and the USA but it also contains the countries of Central America. It covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometres and its population is nearly 529 million. This makes it bigger than South America.
3. When the British Medical Journal studied the number of people injured in traffic accidents in the UK, they got a surprise. They discovered that for every 100 car passengers who went to hospital, there were 68 cyclists. However, a lot of people travel by car, and only a few go by bike, so the results show that cycling is actually more dangerous than driving.
4.Experts have different opinions about margarine and butter, and there is a big argument about which one is better for you. The truth is that margarine today is better than it was in the past because producers use a different type of vegetable oil. Butter still contains a lot of animal fat. Margarine today contains less fat which makes it healthier than butter.

Meals in England – a guide for visitors

Meals and Snacks

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are the three main meals. A lot of workers have a 10-minute break in the morning (one name for this is ‘elevenses’) when they stop work to enjoy a cup of tea (or coffee) with a biscuit. They have a similar break for a drink and a snack in the afternoon. Many hotels and restaurants in England serve ‘afternoon tea’ between 2–5 p.m. This is a light meal of tea, sandwiches, and cakes and it’s very popular with shoppers and tourists.

Breakfast

A traditional full English breakfast is what many hotels serve to guests. It includes egg, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast, with tea or coffee and it contains around 1,000 calories (women need around 2,000 calories a day, and men need around 2,500). However, most people start their working day with a piece of toast or some cereal – some don’t have anything at all.

Lunch

Lunch is between midday and 1.30 p.m., and in England people are more likely to have a smaller meal in the middle of the day. For example, a sandwich and a packet of crisps, or a takeaway, which they can eat at their desk. They often work while they eat. If it’s someone’s birthday, a group of people who work together might go to a restaurant or a pub for lunch.

Dinner

Dinner (also called ‘supper’ in the south of the country and ‘tea’ in the north) is the biggest meal of the day and we have it between 6 and 8 p.m. In the past, the traditional evening meal was ‘meat and two veg (vegetables)’ then a pudding, and, on Fridays, a lot of people ate fish. Today, many families enjoy a traditional dinner on Sundays, but during the rest of the week we like to cook lots of different things, including food from other countries. Indian food is now more popular in England than fish and chips. Around two million of us go to Indian restaurants every week!
