3. Listen to the text and guess the meaning of the new words.

For dinner in the U.S.S.R. we usually have soup and the first course. Some people like cabbage soup, beetroot, beetroot soup or mushroom soup, the others prefer broth. Broth is made of meat or chicken. If we put some rice into broth, we call it rice soup. If we cook it with noodle, it is called noodle soup. After the soup comes the first course. English people call it the first course because having seldom soup they begin with it. For the first course we may have meat or fish, potatoes, macaroni or buckwheat porridge. Meat may be boiled, stewed or roasted. If we want to prepare boiled meat, we wash the meat, then pour much water into the saucepan, put the meat into it, cover with a lid and put the saucepan on to the gas range. The meat has to be boiled for three or four hours until it becomes tender. If meat is boiled for a little time, it is tough. Tough meat is not tasty. If we want to have stewed meat, we wash the meat, then put it into a saucepan or on a frying-pan, pour a little water, cover the saucepan or the frying-pan with a lid and leave the meat stew on the small fire, adding some water from time to time. Then we put some salt and butter. If we want to cook roast beef, we wash the meat, put it on the frying-pan, add some butter and let the meat roast on the fire until it is tender enough and tasty.

Fish may be boiled, stewed or fired. To fry is the synonym of the word to roast, but it is used when we speak about fish or vegetables. We use the word to roast only when we speak about meat.

A refreshment room is a room in a school, in a theatre or in a cinema where one can eat something. This is our school refreshment room. It is a large and clean room with walls painted light blue, with many small tables and chairs and a service-counter where the pupils get their meal.

Our pupils call at the refreshment room during breaks to have lunch or dinner after their classes.

Now we can see some pupils and parents-on-duty. They help to lay the tables and clear away the plates and cups. Lessons are over and we see many pupils are paying for their food, some are having dinner, others are taking food from the counter and those two over there are still looking at the menu.

Nick has come together with his best friends, Pete and Bob. They will have a three-course dinner as usual. Today it is cabbage soup with sour cream, roast beef with mashed potatoes and kissel. Not far from Nick, Pete and Bob we see two girls, Nell and Kate. As Nell’s mother comes home very late Nell must have a substantial meal. She will take not only a three-course dinner but some vegetable salad, a sandwich and an apple. Her friend Kate has come to the refreshment room to have a bite. She will take some sour cream and a bun. We can get various dairy products in our refreshment room, such as milk, sour milk, sour cream, butter and cheese. They are tasty and fresh.
