Changes in British Family

英国人的饮食变化英语作文The Changes in British DietThe British diet has undergone significant changes over the years. In the past, traditional British food was often known for its simplicity and reliance on local ingredients. A typical meal might have included roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, and various stews.However, with the influence of globalization and increased cultural diversity, the British diet has bee much more varied. International cuisines such as Indian, Chinese, and Italian have bee extremely popular. People now have access to a wide range of ingredients and flavors from around the world.Another notable change is the growing awareness of health and nutrition. There is a greater emphasis on fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grns. Fast food and processed foods are consumed less frequently as people are more conscious of the impact of their diet on their health.The rise of vegetarian and vegan diets has also made an impact. More and more Britons are choosing to avoid meat and animal products for ethical, environmental, or health reasons.In addition, convenience has played a role. Ready-made meals and meal delivery services have bee mon, especially for those with busy lifestyles.In conclusion, the British diet has evolved from being relatively simple and traditional to a more diverse, health-conscious, and globally influenced one. These changes reflect the changing tastes, values, and lifestyles of the British people.。

Understanding U.K. & IrelandUnderstanding U.K.Chapter Twelve Society & Culture Section 1 British People & Their Ways of Life1. General Characters & Manners of the People It is very difficult to generalize about the British. The characteristics of the people living in different regions and of different social classes vary enormously. However, the following are regards as general qualities of the British, especially the upper and upper-middle classes in the south of England.Exclusiveness“I am English, you stay away from me. I am exclusive. I am quite happy to be myself. I do not need you. Leave me alone.”This is the best-known quality of the British people, particularly of the English people. That is because of the special geographical location and the distinct development of its history. King James Bible, Shakespeare’s plays, the British parliament as early as 1215 and the Industrial Revolution account for the shaping of their general character.ConservativenessGenerally speaking, the British tend to be reserved. They have to wait a long time before they are prepared to try something new; they do not accept change although they are told to, for example, the use of fireplaces in the large cities such as London, Liverpool, Manchester and BirminghamPolitenessLanguage—Most British people use the words "please" and "thank you" all the time, particularly when asking for or after receiving help from someonePunctuality—British people expect punctuality especially in the work place or place of study. This means that if a lecture begins at 2pm, you must be present in the lecture room at or before 2pm. If you have an appointment with a doctor or a tutor at 11am, you should be there no later than 11a.m., otherwise you will probably not be able to see them.Day to day etiquette—British people will normally queue in shops or whilst waiting for buses, buying tickets and so on. You should expect to do the same.—Most people in the UK have a mobile telephone. It is considered impolite to use a mobile telephone in certain formal situations such as in lectures and meetings.—When you are invited to dinner, ten minutes late is excellent. When at table, it is polite to sit straight, to keep your elbows off the table and never to talk with your mouth full of food; you have to copy everyone else, ask what todo if you are not sure and keep the conversation going.—It is customary to leave a 10% tip when eating in restaurants for good service (but not in fast food restaurants such as McDonalds.)Love of privacyThe following words best describe British people’s attitude towards privacy.“My home is my castle. The wind can come in, but the Kings and Queens and human beings can never come in without my permission.”Stiff upper lipThe British do not show their feelings very much. They do not show their emotion if they are very happy and nor if they are sad. They always keep a stiff upper lipSense of humorThe humor is self-deprecating, that is, laughing at oneself. The British enjoys makingfun of their own customs, class system and even their government.2. Ways of LifeIntroductionKnowing the customs of a country is, in effect, a guide to understanding the soul of that country and its people. Britain is the birthplace of Newton, Darwin, Shakespeare and the Beatles, home of the world's largest foreign exchange market and the world's richest football club—Manchester United, the inventor of the hovercraft and the JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books. From Scotland to Cornwall, Britain is full of customs and traditions. A lot of them have very long histories. Some are funny and some are strange. But they're all interesting and are all part of the British way of life. Throughout this section you will have the chance to discover the customs and traditions of Great Britain.Marriage and Family LifeThe family in Britain is changing. The once typical British family headed by two parents has undergone substantial changes during the twentieth century. In particular there has been a rise in the number of single-person households. By the year 2020, it is estimated that there will be more single people than married people. Fifty years ago this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain.In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very difficult, expensive and took a long time. Today, people's views on marriage are changing. Many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties, live together without getting married. Only about 60% of these couples will eventually get married.In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain are born to unmarried parents. In2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 percent of births in the UK were to cohabiting couples.Marriage is legal at age 16 but usually takes place when people are in their mid- to late 20s and many women do not want to have children immediately. They prefer to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties. The number of single-parent families is increasing. This is mainly due to more marriages ending in divorce, but some women are also choosing to have children as lone parents without being married.HousingHouses in Shakespeare’s hometown Stratford-on-AvonRetirement HomeMost people in England live in urban areas. In England, an average of 7,000 hectares of farmland, countryside and green space were converted to urban use every year between 1985 and 1998.More people are buying their own homes than in the past. About two thirds of the people in England and the rest of Britain either own, or are in the process of buying, their own home. Most others live in houses or flats that they rent from a private landlord, the local council, or housing association.People buying their property almost always pay for it with a special loan called a mortgage, which they must repay, with interest, over a long period of time, usually 25 years.Most houses in England are made of stone or brick from the local area where the houses are built. The colors of the stones and bricks vary across the country.England has many types of homes. In the large cities, people often live in apartments, which are called flats. In most towns, there are streets of houses joined together in long rows. They are called terraced houses.The main types of houses in England are: •Detached (a house not joined to another house) •Semi-detached (two houses joined together) •Terrace (several houses joined together)•Flats (apartments)Information taken from Census 2001The most popular type of home in England is semi-detached (more than 27% of all homes), closely followed by detached and then terraced. Almost half of London's households are flats, maisonettes or apartments.EatingBritain has a very diverse population due to the large number of immigrants, this provoked that the food was diversified.British food has traditionally been based on beef, lamb, pork, chicken and fish and generally served with potatoes and one other vegetable. The most common and typical foods eaten in Britain include sandwich, fish and chips, pies like the Cornish pasty, trifle and roasts dinners. Some of the main dishes have strange names like Bubble & Squeak and Toad-in-the-Hole.The staple foods of Britain are meat, fish, potatoes, flour, butter and eggs. Many of the dishes are based on these foodsSome of the most traditional foods are described below:Fish and chips are a classic,traditional national food ofEngland, made up withFrench fried potatoes andthe fish deep fried in flourbatter.Yorkshire pudding is a traditional and popular British dish, originating from the North-east of England, made from flour, eggs and milk, is a sort of batter baked in the oven and usually moistened with gravy.Traditional Yorkshire puddingToad-in-the-Hole is similar to Yorkshire pudding but with sausages placed in the batter before cooking.Toad-in-the-HoleBubble & SqueakBubble and squeak (sometimes just called bubble) is a traditional English dish made with the shallow-fried leftover vegetables from a roast dinner. The chief ingredients are potato and cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. It is traditionally served with cold meat from the Sunday roast, and pickles. Traditionally, the meat was added to the bubble and squeak itself, although nowadays it is more commonly made without meat. The cold chopped vegetables (and cold chopped meat if used) are fried in a pan together with mashed potato until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides.Lancashire Hotpot consists essentially of meat, onion and potatoes baked in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat.Lancashire HotpotNowadays many traditional foods such as beef and potatoes have given way to poultry and pasta dishes. Fast food has also become more available, and hamburger restaurants now rival the traditional fish-and-chip shops in popularity. Numerous Chinese and Indian restaurants and pizza houses provide take-away service, and many pubs (public houses) serve anything from snacks to full meals as well as alcoholic beverages.The English people generally eat three meals a day. A traditional English breakfast consists of any or all of the following: bacon, sausages, grilled or fried tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, or toast. Kippers (smoked herring) or black pudding (blood pudding) may also appear on the menu.Traditional English breakfastHowever, fewer people now eat a cooked breakfast on a regular basis, preferring various combinations of cereal, toast, juice or fruit, and tea or coffee.The midday meal is usually referred to as lunch and the evening meal as dinner or, when it is less formal, as supper. Working-class people tend to call the midday meal dinner and the meal they have in the early evening “tea.” The tradition of afternoon tea, when tea, biscuits, and cakes are enjoyed at about 4 pm, has declined. Similarly, many people no longer have more than a light lunch or snack in the middle of the day.SocializingThe English often say “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you” when meeting for the first time. People usually shake hands when first introduced or when greeting and parting in business and other formal situations.Otherwise many English people will simply say “Hello” when they see each other. Among friends, women are often kissed (by men and women) lightly on one cheek.The use of first names is widespread; titles such as “Mr.” and “Mrs.” are being used less frequently, even when children address adults.It is customary to respect people’s privacy by telephoning before visiting. When invited to a meal by friends, guests often bring a bottle of wine or another small gift.Pubs continue to be one of the main places for people to get together in the evenings. Older people often meet their friends in the morning, to chat over coffee or tea and a scone. Relaxing in the home, however, is still more popular.Sports and RecreationSports play an important part in the life of the Englishmen and are a popular leisure activity. A great number of major sports originated in the United Kingdom, including: football (soccer), squash, golf, boxing, rugby (rugby union and rugby league), cricket, snooker, billiards, badminton and curling.Cricket — England's national sport is cricket, which is a bat and ball game played between two teams. It is a traditional summer sport and is often played on village greens on Sundays from April to August. No one is sure when cricket was invented, but there are records of the game being played as early as the sixteenth century.Football (soccer) — Winter time national sports are football (soccer) and Rugby Union. Football is undoubtedly the most popular sport in England and has been played for hundred of years. Some of England's football team are world famous, the most famous being Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. In the English Football League there are 92 professional clubs. These are semi-professional, so most players have other full-time jobs. Hundreds of thousands of people also play football in parks and playgrounds just for fun. The highlight of the English football year is the FA (Football Association) Cup Final each May.Rugby — Rugby originatedfrom Rugby school inWarwickshire. It is similarto football, but played withan oval ball. Players cancarry the ball and tackleeach other. The best rugby teams compete in the Super League final each September. For many years Rugby was only played by the rich upper classes, but now it is popular all over the country.Tennis —Modern lawn tennis was first played in England. The world's most famous tennis tournament is Wimbledon. It started at a small club in south London in the nineteenth century. It begins on the nearest Monday to June 22, at a time when English often have the finest weather. Millions of people watch the Championships on TV live. It is traditional for visitors to eat strawberries and cream whilst they watch the tennis.Horseracing — one of themost popular spectatorsports is horseracing (overjumps in the winter and ona flat track in the summer).People can place bets on the races at legal off-track betting shops. Some of the best-known horse races are held at Ascot, Newmarket, Goodwood and Epsom.Ascot, a small town in the south of England, becomes the centre of horse-racing world for one week in June. It's called Royal Ascot because the Queen always goes to Ascot. She has a lot of racehorses and likes to watch racing.Queen enjoys watching horse racingRowing — In the nineteenth century, students at Oxford and Cambridge, Britain's two oldest universities were huge fans of rowing. In 1829, the two schools agreed to hold a race against each other for the first time on the Thames River. The Oxford boat won and a tradition was born. Today, the University Boat Race is held every spring in either late March or early April.1921 Oxford Cambridge Boat Race SceneOxford and Cambridge crews racing eachother in their annual contest, Cambridgebarely won the race.Fox hunting —Traditionally Boxing Day is a day for fox hunting. The huntsmen and huntswomen ride horses. They use dogs too. The dogs (fox hounds) follow the smell of the fox. Then the huntsmen and huntswomen follow the hounds.Before a Boxing Day hunt, the huntsmen and huntswomen drink hot wine. But the tradition of the December 26th is changing. Now, some people want to stop Boxing Day hunts (and other hunts too). They don't like fox hunting. For them it is not a sport - it is cruel.With the exception of U.S. citizens, the British watch more television than anyone else in the world and claim that one reason for this is the high quality of British programming. Videos are also popular, but many people equally enjoy seeing films at the cinema. All types of music and theater are well supported. The country is also rich in art galleries and museums.。

Father leaves for work in the morning after breakfast. The two children take the bus to school, and mother stays home cooking and cleaning until father and the kids return home in the evening. This is the traditional pictureof a happy family living in Britain. But is it true today?The answer is no! The past 20 years have seen greatchanges in the lives and structure of families in Britain.The biggest change has been caused by divorce. Asmany as 2 out of 3 marriages now end in divorce, leading toa situation where many children live with one parent andonly see the other at weekends or holidays.There has also been a huge rise in the number of women with children who work. They need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce, many families need both parents to work in order to survive. This has caused an increase in childcare facilities(儿童保育机构), though it is very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas.In addition, women are no longer happy to stay at home raising children, and many have careers earning as much or even more than men, the traditional breadwinner.There has also been a sharp increase in the number of single mothers, particularly among teenagers. Some people have blame d this increase for the rise in crime. They feel the lack of a male role model has damaged these children in society.However, these changes have not had a totally negative effect. For women, it is now much easier to have a career and good salary. Although it is difficult to be a working mother, it has become normal and is no longer seen as a bad thing for the children.As for children themselves, some argue that modern children grow up more independent and mature than in the past. From an early age they have to go to childminders or nurseries, and so are used to dealing with strangers and mixing with other children.
