Write an e-mail to Mary. Don't forget to answer her questions. Hi Sasha, You've asked me about our traditions. I'll tell you about them with great pleasure. Do you like tea with milk? It's tasty. This is a lovely tradition, to drink tea with milk. It's tastier with scones. Scone is a small, round cake that is like bread, made from flour, milk, and a little fat. Usually I have them with butter and jam. We have tea throughout the day and in the evening (from 4 to 6 o'clock) for this purpose there is a special time called "5 o'clock tea". This is also a tradition. In the morning I prefer a typical breakfast, as it called English breakfast. It consists of eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, baked beans and toast. But mostly people like oatmeal porridge. We have our own fast food called "Fish and chips". This is a fish covered with batter (a mixture of flour, eggs, and milk) and then fried and served with pieces of fried potato. I can eat it every day! Among holiday traditions my favourite is to hang a stocking on the fireplace to get a present from Santa. Do you have any traditions in Russia? Tell me about them, please. Best wishes, Mary
