"it is very important, " harris said, "to have everything we need for a long swim every morning before breakfast." he also said that a long swim always gave him fine appetite. "if you're going to eat more than you usually do, " george said, "i think we'll let you go swimming not more than once in three or four days. if you go swimming every day, we'll never have enough food for you. we won't be able to carry so much in the boat. " so we discussed the food question. "begin with breakfast, " george said. "for breakfast we must have a tea-pot, " harris said, "ham, eggs, bread and butter and jam. it's easy to prepare breakfast with such things. and for lunch — cold meat, bread and butter and jam — but no cheese. " we agreed. cheese in a boat in summer, little by little becomes the master of all the food. you may think you're eating sausage or meat and potatoes or cake, but it all seems to be cheese. task a choose the right variant 1. george, harris and jerome decided to discuss a) future holidays b) the weather c) the newspaper article 2. it happened in a) summer b) spring c) winter 3. harris liked very much. a) boating b) swimming c) playing football 4. he wanted to after swimming. a) eat b) drink c) sleep 5. they decided cheese. a) not to take b) to take c) to buy task в answer the questions: what is the text about? where did the friends want to go? what could give harris a good appetite? why was cheese the "master" of all food in summer? whose idea was to take few clothes?
