All we know without unnecessary reminder that ethical behavior at the table is a must. After owning this knowledge, we feel much more comfortable and confident at any table . Prepare this material inspired me one girl friend , who refused to accept invitations to restaurants and cafes just because they do not know how to properly handle a knife and fork . It now this problem has been solved, but surely certain moments in the etiquette of food can make us doubt. To such doubts as little as possible , let us begin our discussion by considering the elementary rules of behavior at the table.

First, how to sit ? Not too far from the edge of the table, but not too close , and of course, do not put your elbows on the table. There is a small exception for women when it may briefly lean one elbow on the table , but only in case of emergency, for example, if the arm is tired . On the chair should sit up straight and do not bend over the plate . Here no exceptions exist.

Great Britain (Великобритания) с переводом
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and above five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 315 000 square kilometers. The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast respectively.

The British isles are separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. The surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called Highlands, while the south, which has beautiful valleys and plains, is called Lowlands. The north and west of England are mountainous, but all the rest - east, center and southeast - is a vast plain. Mountains are not very high. Ben Nevis is the highest mountain. (1343)

There are a lot of rivers in GB, but they are not very long. The Severn is the longest river, while the Thames is the deepest and the most important one.

Соединенное королевство Великобритании и Северной Ирландии расположено на Британских островах. Британские острова состоят из двух больших островов, Великобритании и Ирландии, и более пяти тысяч маленьких островов. Их общая площадь - более 315 000 квадратных километров. Великобритания состоит из четырех стран: Англии, Шотландии, Уэльса и Северной Ирландии. Их столицы - Лондон, Эдинбург, Кардиф и Белфаст соответственно.

Британские острова отделены от Европейского континента Северным морем и Ла-Маншем. Западное побережье Великобритании омывается Атлантическим океаном и Ирландским морем. Поверхность Британских островов очень разнообразна. Север Шотландии горист и называется Высокогорьем, в то время как юг, на котором находятся красивые долины и равнины, называется Среднешотландской низменностью. Север и запад Англии горист, но все остальное - восток, центр и юго-восток - является обширной равниной. Горы - не очень высоки. Бен-Невис - самая высокая гора. (1343)

В Великобритании есть много рек, но они не очень длинные. Северн - самая длинная река, в то время как Темза самая глубокая и наиболее важная.

Великобритания - одна из самых маленьких стран в мире. Население страны - более 87 миллионов и приблизительно 80 % из них живут в городах. Великобритания высоко индустриально развитая страна. Она известна как один из самых крупных в мире производителей и экспортеров машин, электроники, ткани, самолетов и навигационного оборудования. Великобритания - конституционная монархия.
