Thank you for book which you sent me for my birthday last week. I am certain I will
really enjoy reading it as book is one I have been intending to buy ever since
it was published about two and a half years ago. On Thursday, instead of buying
present for me, my sister took me out for meal in restaurant which had been
highly recommended in local newspaper. restaurant, which had been open
for only two months, was about 25 kilometres away and we went there in my sisters car.
meal was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves whole evening.
Unfortunately, after we left restaurant, we had problem with car as it
would not start. We could not find out what trouble was and decided to leave it
behind in car park until following day. We asked waiter to call taxi
but we had to wait over hour for it to arrive, and so we did not get back home until
very late. I certainly did not feel at all like getting up and going to work next morning.
B. The First Bicycle
history of bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791, Count de Sivrac
overjoyed onlookers in park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention,
machine called celerifere. It was basically enlarged version of a childrens
toy which had been in use for many years. Sivracs celerifere had wooden frame,
made in shape of horse, which was mounted on wheel at either end.
To ride it, you sat on small seat, just like modern bicycle, and pushed hard
against floor with your legs there were no pedals. It was impossible to steer
celerifere and it had no brakes, but despite these problems invention very
much appealed to fashionable young men of Paris. Soon they were holding races
up and down streets.
C. An English secret
tea is best made in brown china1 teapot. First you warm pot with
hot water, which you throw away after moment or two. Then put in
teaspoonful of tea for each person, and extra one for luck (one for
pot). Now pour boiling water on, and leave tea to stand for three to five
minutes, before pouring it into fine china cups, with or without milk and
sugar. hot water is served separately, to make tea less strong.
Philip Sidley is tea expert. He believes that secret of good tea lies
in quality of water you use. Jonathan Goodall, who is the manager of
big firm of tea importers, does not think type of water is
such important aspect. He says main thing is to make tea
immediately after water has boiled.
Queen Elizabeth Second would agree with Philip Sidley. Whenever she
travels away from home, she takes special type of English spring
water2
with her for making tea.
Although coffee is also drunk a lot in England today, drinking of tea
is closely connected with certain philosophy of life. tea-drinking is
regarded as ceremony, not just as way of quenching3
ones thirst.
