<span>I would like to tell you about a great Maslenitsa celebration in Russia.
It is celebrated on last Sunday of March, when winter is losing its rights and
spring comes. On this day there are Russian great folk festivals with horses,
getting a living rooster from the post, a lot of jokes, songs and dances. On
the streets of cities, towns and villages different mummers walk, they offer
everybody hot tea and Russian pancakes with different toppings: honey, jam,
butter, eggs! But most importantly is the effigy of winter that is burnt
and everyone rejoices the beautiful spring coming.

The English usually have 4 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, tea (5 o'clock), and dinner. Breakfast can be a full "English breakfast" of corn flakes with milk and sugar, or bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade, tea or coffee. Some people, however, have just a cup of tea or coffee with a toast. This is usually called a "continental breakfast".
At midday everything is stopped for lunch. Most offices and small shops are closed for an hour and the city pavements are full of people on their way to cafes, coffee bars, restaurants. Factory and plant workers usually eat in their canteens.
The English like what they call "good plain food". Usually they like steak, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, and fish and chips.
