下面是李鸣的笔友Kate写来的一封介绍英国人用餐特点的电子邮件，请认真阅读短
文。并按信息表的项目要求填写信息。

Dear Li Ming,
How is everything going with you? Now let me tell you something about three meals in our country.
We know people here are different from people of many other countries. English breakfast is usually a very big meal of fried eggs, bread, cakes, tomatoes, tea, coffee and fruit. But we often eat a quick lunch only sandwiches and a cup of coffee. Children at school can have a hot meal of meat or fish. We usually have our dinner of beef or fish with vegetables from 7 p.m. To 9 p.m., and if we have dinner with friends, it can last very late at night.
On weekends, we like to have meals with all the family members. We always begin with soup or snacks, then we eat chicken, beef, with potatoes, vegetables and many other things such as salad and fruit. We also like food from other countries, especially food from France, China, Italy and India.
What about your eating habits? Could you tell me something about what you eat in your country? And tell me some table manners.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Kate

Bicycles in China
Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to school, shops and anywhere else. Therefore(因此), China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.
Compared(与……比) with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.
However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others’ safety. So they ride too fast. During rush hours, too many bicycles may cause traffic jams. We still have a long way to go to solve the problem.

If you feel anxious when you speak in your second language, speak this language more often.
Pretend to be brave enough. When you pretend that you are brave enough, you will try to make it
