At the Hotel
When travelling people almost always have to stay at a hotel.
In London there are a lot of big and small, expensive and cheap hotels. On arrival at a hotel visitors go to the reception desk in the vestibule and ask for a room. Of course, it is better to book a room in advance by letter or by telegram.
If there are free rooms in the hotel, the receptionist will ask the visitors to fill in a registration form. The visitors fill in the form in block letters, sign the form and give it back to the clerk with the passports. The clerk registers the passports in the book, tells the floor and the number of the room to the visitors.
Then the chambermaid shows the visitors their rooms and the porter brings their bags and suitcases.

At the hotel
I'd like to tell you a few words about hotels. As you know quite well every city has both large hotels and little cozy ones to suit any taste. Hotels are just the same in all large cities.
Rooms in most of them are with all modern conveniences: air conditioning, a private bath-room, a telephone, a TV set, a video player and others. The service is usually quite satisfactory. You can take a single room, a double room or a suite.
When you come to the hotel, you first enter the lobby. You go to the receptionist (that is the clerk who is in charge of rooms). You have to fill in a form. So, you get the key and a page boy helps you with your luggage and takes you up to your room in a lift.
At the hotel you can get various services. In the lobby there are a lot of offices: a booking-office, post and telegraph offices, an information desk, newsstands, book-stalls. In the same building there are also restaurants, bars, gyms and swimming-pools.
Taking into consideration everything mentioned above, I'd like to say that most big hotels have all modern conveniences and you can enjoy yourself there.

British Meals
Traditionally English people have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Breakfast is served in the morning; it used to be a very large meal with cerla1, eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes. Such a large breakfast takes a long time to prepare and it is not very healthy. Today, Britain's most popular breakfast consists of a lighter meal of cereal and toast and marmalade, fruit juice and yoghurt with a cup of coffee or tea.
Lunch is a light meal. Most people have no time to go back home for lunch; children eat at school; workers in the factory canteen, in self-service cafes, called cafeterias, in pubs or in fast-food restaurants. In summer when the sun is shining a lot like to go out and eat their lunch in the open air.
The main meal is dinner, which is usually eaten between 6 and 7 p.m. A typical evening meal is a meat dish with vegetables and a dessert. Fruit juice or water is drunk and coffee or tea is served at the end of the meal.

The most important meal of the week is Sunday dinner, which is usually eaten at 1 p.m. The traditional Sunday dish used to be roast beef, but nowadays it is expensive, so pork, chicken or lamb are more common. On Sunday evenings people have supper or high tea. The famous British afternoon tea, served with cakes and small sandwiches is becoming rare, except at week-ends.
Even if Britain has a very bad reputation for food there are some dishes which are really good: meat pies, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Cornish pasties and cheeses are excellent. Welsh lamb has a world-wide reputation and Scotland is well-known for its haggis, made of sheep's liver, or oatmeal and suet.
