i like to travel. first of all, the members of our family usually have long walks in the country. such walks are called hikes. if we want to see countryside we have to spend a part of our summer holidays on hikes. during such hikes we see a lot of interesting places, sometimes we meet interesting people. it's useful for all members of our family. we take our rucksacks. we don't think about tickets and there is no need to hurry up.

as for me, it's more comfortable to travel by train and by plane. but it's difficult to buy tickets for the plane. that's why we buy our tickets beforehand. when i travel by plane, i don't spend a lot of time going from one place to another. i like to fly. if i travel by train or by plane my friends see me off at the railway station or in the airport.

i like to travel by car. it's interesting too, because you can see many things in a short time. when we go by car, we don't take tickets. we put all things we need in a car. we don't carry then.

sometimes we go to the seaside for a few days. as usual the weather is warm and we can swim. it's a pleasure to watch white ships. so i can say that i enjoy all kinds of travelling very much.

 

All food should be served and everyone seated before food is eaten by anyone, with the host taking the first bite. if a host instructs guests 'not to wait' this rule is vetoed. when eating soup, you should hold your spoon in your right hand and tip the bowl away from you, scooping the soup in movements away from yourself. the soup spoon should never be put into the mouth, and soup should be sipped from the side of the spoon, not the end. wine glasses should be held by the stem in the case of white wines, and by cupping the bowl in the case of red wines.wines should be served in the sequence "white before red, light before heavy, young before old", and it is impolite to ask for, or to offer, "more" wine. it is accepted that you may place your elbows on the table as long as you do not rest weight upon them. historically it had been rude to place your elbows on the table but this formally changed in the mid-nineties. a knife should never enter the mouth or be licked. food should always be chewed with your mouth closed. it is impolite to reach over someone to pick up food or other items. diners should always ask for items to be passed along the table to them.in the same vein, diners who are passing items along the table should not use it on the way, but pass it directly to the person who asked. talking with food in your mouth is seen as very rude. food should be tasted first before salt and pepper are added. applying garnishes before the food is tasted is viewed as an insult to the cook, as it shows a lack of faith in their ability to prepare a meal. it is impolite to slurp your food or eat noisily.
