very specific dinner: Sunday roast. This is the British name for a traditional dinner on Sundays. Britons  2__ (eat) Sunday roasts for centuries. In the old days, people had to go to church on Sunday. Afterwards, people would be hungry. So families would get together to eat a big meal.

So what is this  3  (taste) dish made of? Sunday dinner usually has roast meat, usually chicken or beef, crispy roast potatoes,  4  (fresh) boiled vegetables, and finally Yorshire pudding. This is a pidding made of batter and is a staple of the Sunday roast.

What if you don’t have any of the ingredients(原料)  5  (make) the traditional dinner?  6  to worry. In Britain, there are special restaurants, called carveries,  7  you can eat a Sunday roast. The name “carvery” comes from the act of carving the meat into slices, before putting them on a plate.

   Besides the delicious food on the plate, this meal is a great time  8  families. This is the time of the week when parents and children will sit down and tell each other about their week at work or school.

   With many traditions  9  (fade) into the background, traditional Sunday dinners are as strong as ever. And I have the feeling  10  this traditional cuisine will be on British dinner tables for decades to come.

As we all know it, many children have to spend their weekends and holidays attending various training courses though they are unwilling to. That’s why their parents don’t want him to fall behind at the starting line. Instead, they hope their children are equipping with as many skills as possible. Therefore they won’t lose face when comparing their children with others’. Beside, they are sure these extra classes will help their children standing out and become more competitive in the future. Actually, it was unwise to force children to do that they don’t like. Too many training classes will be heavy burden for children. Parents shouldn’t push their children too hardly.
