Every day, about one-quarter of American adults eat at fast-food restaurants. Cheap, tasty, and convenient, fast food is rich in fat and calories, and it’s low in fiber and nutrients. Thanks in large part to fast food, half of America’s adults and one-quarter of its children are fat, double the rate of a generation ago. In the past two decades, eating habits have changed as people pay more attention to their health. However, many Americans continue to eat red meat (beef in particular) as well as pork, chicken and other foods. Although beer and wine are popular in most areas, many Americans abstain from alcohol, because they think they will become healthier without drinking it. Various kinds of mineral water are commonly available.
Eating styles and habits vary between people of different backgrounds, but Americans generally eat with the fork in the hand with which they write. A knife is used for cutting and spreading; otherwise, it is laid on the plate or table. Fast foods, such as chips, fried chicken, hamburgers, and pizza, tend to be eaten with the fingers. There is an obvious difference between what people may do at home or in a fast-food restaurant, and how they act in a more formal restaurant. Because both parents often work outside the home, some Americans are less likely to sit down as a family to eat once the children are older and able to prepare their own food or serve themselves.

My wife and I spent two weeks in England last year. We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best 1 to visit England. The weather is 2 quite good and there aren't 3 visitors in October.
We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient 4 we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too 5 . We couldn't understand the bus routes, and my wife didn't like traveling on the underground. She said it made her feel 6 in.
We went to look at the places that all visitors see. We saw Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery and Piccadilly Circus. We 7 shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, 8 , was going to the theater. We don't have the 9 to see such wonderful plays at 10 . A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn't think 11 . It's 12 that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.
In fact, we enjoyed our holiday 13 much that we have already booked again for this year. We are going to take our 14 , for I am 15 we'll need them sometimes.
