IV 4.My friend wants to know more about national cuisines. Which national dishes would you recommend him to taste?
Classic Yorkshire pudding
This dish is not usually eaten as a dessert like other puddings but instead as part of the main course or as a starter. Yorkshire pudding, made from flour, eggs and milk, is a sort of batter baked in the oven and usually moistened with gravy.
The traditional way to eat a Yorkshire pudding is to have a large, flat one filled with gravy and vegetables as a starter of the meal. Then when the meal is over, any unused puddings should be served with jam or ice-cream as a dessert.

IV 5.A lot of pupils refuse to have meals at school. What do you think about it?
I think a snack in the middle of a school day can do you a lot of good. Unfortunately, school meals leave much to be desired. As for me, I usually ignore the main dish in favour of a cup of tea with a roll.
