MEALS IN BRITAIN
A traditional English breakfast is a very big meal - sausages, bacon,
eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms.... But nowadays many people just have
cereal with milk and sugar, or toast with marmalade, jam, or honey.
Marmalade and jam are not the samel Marmalade is made from
oranges and jam is made from other fruit. The traditional breakfast
drink is tea, which people have with cold milk. Some people have
v coffee, often instant coffee, which is made with just hot water.
Many visitors to Britain find this coffee disgusting!
For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities there are a lot of
sandwich bars, where office workers can choose the kind of bread
they want - brown, white, or a roll - and then all sorts of salad and
meatorfish to go in the sandwich. Pubs often serve good, cheap food,
both hot and cold. School-children can have a hot meal at school, but
many just take a snack from home - a sandwich, a drink, some fruit,
and perhaps some crisps.
'Tea’ means two things. It is a drink and a meal! Some people have
afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes, and, of course, a cup of tea.
Cream teas are popular. You have scones (a kind of cake) with cream
and jam.

Headway is a multi-level course for adults and young adults who

want to use English both accurately and fluently. G ram m ar and
vocabulary are taught and explained thoroughly, and all four
language skills are developed systematically. The Headway series
combines traditional methods o f language teaching and more recent
communicative approaches. H eadway Elementary is a first-year
coursebook which, along with Headway Pre-Intermediate.
Headway Intermediate. Headway Upper-Intermediate, and
H eadway Advanced, provides a comprehensive language teaching
series for the 1990s.
Liz and John Soars have many years o f experience as teachers and
teacher trainers. Both have worked at International House, London,
and Liz was one o f the chief examiners o f the Cambridge/RSA Dip
TEFL.
Each level o f Headway provides approximately 120 hours of

teaching. Key features o f H eadway Elementary include:
• Detailed treatment of gram m ar in two stages: at the beginning of
each unit, where it is introduced and practised in a variety of
activities, and then in the Gram m ar Summary at the end o f each
unit, which is suitable for self-study and revision.
• Systematic vocabulary work with dictionary training.
• Skills work sections for further extension and fluency work.
• Integrated pronunciation work.
• An Everyday English section which practises common
expressions in everyday situations.
• A self-check revision section.
The Student's Book also contains reference lists o f vocabulary,
irregular verbs, verb patterns, phonetic symbols, and tapescripts.
In addition, there is a Teacher’s Book with photocopiable activities,
two Class Cassettes, and a W orkbook with further consolidation
exercises, extra input sections, and a writing syllabus. An optional
Student’s Cassette is available for use with the Workbook.
Headway Elementary is accompanied by Headway Elementary
Pronunciation and Headway Elementary’ Video.
