The English proverb says: every cook praises his own broth. One can not say English cookery is bad, but there is not a lot of variety in it in comparison with European cuisine. The English are very particular shout their meals. The usual meals in England are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.
Breakfast time is between seven and nine a.m. A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal. It consists of juice, porridge, a rasher or two of bacon and eggs, toast, butter, jam or marmalade, tea or coffee. Marmalade is made from oranges and jam is made from other fruit. Many people like to begin with porridge with milk or cream and sugar, but no good Scotsman ever puts sugar on it, because Scotland is the home of porridge. For a change you can have sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, cold ham or perhaps fish.

A lot of slithering silver fish make an attractive sight in the market – red mullet, sea bream, sea bass and the delicious swordfish. You will also find octopus, squid and cuttlefish.
Moving on to the meat stalls, you’ll see plenty of red carcasses. After all, what self-respecting cook would accept meat wrapped in polyethylene?
Meat is eaten very fresh, and you may well notice the difference in flavour. Lamb and beef are lean and tasty and have excellent quality. Goat has a pleasant, slightly gamy flavour; it’s very lean and well worth trying.

The electric charge is also called electricity. We can generate electricity to illuminate our cities or we can store it in a battery to transport it. 1_______. Copper is a good conductor so we use it in electric wires. 2_______.
A simple electric circuit includes a battery with chemical paste, a carbon rod, a wire and a light bulb. The chemical paste contains an excess of electrons so when you connect the two poles of the battery, the copper wire attracts electrons. 3_______. When they arrive at the filament inside the bulb, they produce heat and emit light. 4_______.

What is the best conductor of electricity?
Electricity and magnetism are closely connected. Almost all metals are good conductors of electricity, with copper being one of the best conductors of all. Glass, paper, rubber are the most common non-conductors or insulators.
Many practical applications have resulted from the utilization of the magnetic effect of an electric current.
These effects are used in motors, in most electric meters (ammeters, voltmeters and galvanometers), in electromagnets and in practically all electromechanical apparatus.

Hardening of plain carbon steel consists of two stages; first heating to a specific temperature and then cooling rapidly. The cooling process is known as quenching. The correct temperature to which steel must be heated varies with its carbon content.
Overheating can cause grain growth, resulting in weak components.
