Good morning. I´m very hungry and I´ll have/ I´d like to have a chicken salad for starter, and roast beef with French fries for main course. I´d like to drink some white wine and a glass of still mineral water and I´d like a white coffee and a piece of cheesecake for dessert please.
I am afraid I haven´t got any chicken salad/ there isn´t any chicken salad left. Would you like some rice salad? It´s delicious! Would you like sugar in your coffee? I´m sorry but there isn´t any milk left. Would you like black coffee?

Have you got a kettle or a teapot, a mug, a tea spoon, some milk, some sugar, and tea bags?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ENGLISH? Listen to this formal British man giving instructions on how to prepare a wonderful cup of tea.
Would you like to have some tea?
Hello, and welcome to another episode of "How to be English". In today mag- My name is Charles and today I’m going to be showing you the ancient English art that is making a cup of tea. Ha ha ha
Firstly, you will need to get your tea-making equipment. This consists of a kettle, complete with water, a mug, a tea spoon, milk (I prefer semi-skimmed milk), sugar (for those of you with a sweet tooth) and, least but not last, teabags. Now that you have all your equipment, we can get started.
(put this and that away)
KETTLE
First, take your kettle and fill it with water. Then plug the kettle into the plug and boil the water. While the kettle is boiling we can prepare the cup for tea-bagging. Take the mug, remove the spoon, and insert one teabag into the mug. If you wish to have sugar in your tea, insert the sugar at this point. I have a sweet tooth, so I prefer two sugars in my tea. Now the cup is ready for the water, so we will wait for the water to boil.
It’s ready! Take your kettle with boiling water and pour the water into the cup. Then, we stir. Then you take the teabag and you press it against the side of the cup and remove the teabag. Remove the teabag. Aaah.
Now, the tea is ready for the milk. I like my tea quite milky. There!. And once again, stir the tea. You must stir the tea quite a lot to make sure that the sugar is dissolved and that the infusion of the tea leaves combines with the water. And now the tea is ready to drink. Ah, delicious!
Thanks for watching how to be English. See you next time.
Oh, Charlie is so- Charlie is so- Charlie is so cool!
Polly put the kettle on,
