I enjoy eating out. We often go to a restaurant with my parents. It usually happens at weekend or Friday evenings, when everybody is free from work and studies. My mum likes Italian food: pasta with different sauces, pizza, lasagne and other national dishes. My father prefers eastern cuisine. His favourite dish is grilled meat with vegetables. As for me, I’m a fan of sushi and fast food. As you see our tastes differ. That’s why we choose to go to various restaurants. For example, last week, we went to the nearest sushi-bar. We had a great time there. First of all, the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice. There were black square tables and lots of Japanese national ornaments. We chose the table next to the window. The waiters were also very kind and welcoming. My parents don’t like Japanese food much, so they ordered simply some salads and fried chicken wings. Luckily, they don’t serve only national food in this restaurant. I ordered a portion of traditional rolls and a cup green tea. Everything was rather delicious. My parents tried a small piece of my rolls and said they weren’t bad. We asked the waiter to bring us the bill and left after paying. It was an excellent evening.Sometimes I eat out with my friends. We usually go to a fast food place. There is a large shopping center not far from my house and we often go there. When we get hungry, we go to the ground floor where many fast food restaurants are situated. There we usually have a sandwich or a portion of pancakes with a glass of juice.
I was left a little money and a collection of old books by my Uncle Albert when he passed away last year. When the books were delivered, I went throught them to decide which ones to keep and which ones should be given away or sold. Then I came across a book on Greek mythology which had been published in 1992. It looked like a very rare and valuable book, but the problem was that it didn't seem to have belonged to my uncle at all! It had been borrowed from London University Library. A few months later, I went to London and decided that the book really should be returned to its owner. I went to the library and gave it to the librarian, who looked very worried. Uncle Albert had borrowed the book in 1923 and according to their records there was a 4000 as a fine! That was the same amount my uncle had left me! Fortunately, they said the huge fine would be canceled now that I had returned the book. I felt so relieved!
