Task 1. Read and translate the text into Russian: Meals in Russia The Russian custom of having meals varies from family to family but we generally eat three meals a day. They are breakfast, dinner and supper. Some people also have late afternoon tea. Breakfast generally comes before eight o’clock in the morning, as most people start for work and the children must leave for school. Some Russian families have a light continental breakfast. But most of the families make breakfast quite a big meal of the day. It usually includes some kind of porridge, fried eggs or sausages and vegetables followed by coffee or tea. Dinner is the main and the biggest meal of the day. Russians generally eat somewhere between one or two o’clock. The working people eat dinner away from home as a rule. Every factory and office has a dining-room or some kind of cafeteria. They generally plan some meat for dinner or fish for a change. In addition to the meat dish Russian dinner always includes some soup, potatoes or rice as garnish. They finish dinner with coffee, tea, milk or juice. Supper is the third meal of the day and the lightest one. It comes somewhere between seven and nine o’clock in the evening. It consists of some sandwiches, fruit or biscuits and tea or hot milk.
