There are some restaurants that are so popular that you have to make reservations in advance. In our
country men enter first and then the women who are with them. In Britain and the United States it is
considered impolite not to let the women enter the restaurant door first. So, it is a matter of culture.
After the waiter shows you to your table he/she brings the menu. It usually contains appetizers (hot or
cold), entrees (which are the main courses) and deserts. It also contains the list with drinks: juices, soft
drinks and alcoholic beverages.
The next step is to order food.

A Day In My Life
I wake up every morning at half past six. I get up, go to the bathroom, take a shower and brush my
teeth. Then I get dressed, go to the kitchen and have breakfast. I usually have toast, butter, jam, cereals
with milk and I drink a cup of coffee. After that I go to university. I have classes until two o'clock. At
the university I meet my friends. We study a lot of interesting things, such as computer science,
marketing, etc. We study foreign languages, too. English is compulsory. We also study another
language, French or German. After classes I and my friends go for a walk, when the weather is fine or
we go to a caf for a coffee and for a chat.
Sometimes I go to the library to study, or I go home and have lunch.
In the evening I study, I watch TV, or I go out with my friends. I go to sleep at about eleven o'clock in
the evening. This is a usual day of my life.
