Do most British still keep the traditional activities such as afternoon tea?
Clearly you have been watching too many episodes of Downton Abbey.Anyway,afternoon tea is a snack between lunch and dinner (1)accompaniedaccompanied(accompany)by a cup of tea.We regular British people drink tea and eat snacks (2)wheneverwhenever we feel like it-8 a.m.,9 p.m.,2 a.m..In my house while I was growing up,we would have a big dinner at lunch time(weekends mainly)and then tea later.This would consist of a sandwich and a piece of cake that we ate in front of the telly.We were so full from the enormous lunch (3)thatthat all we could manage was small meal.Even now the meal after work/school is called tea whether you drink tea with it or not,and whether it consists of sandwiches or is a main meal.
However,if we visit someone in the afternoon (4)asas planned,they will make some scones,cake,sandwiches and other delicious food to be served and I suppose that is technically"afternoon tea".If they were inviting you for dinner,they would say so.If they say nothing,you will absolutely be offered tea and scones/sandwiches/biscuits or (5)anythinganything else they have.
Times and tastes (6)have changedhave changed(change),but afternoon tea still exists.
Children come home from school at 4 p.m..Parents will make them a drink and something to eat.Mum and Dad will probably join in.What do you call this?Afternoon tea!
I go shopping with friends to the town centre.We've looked in all the shops and now we need to sit down and think about (7)whichwhich shops to return to for those final purchases.Look at that,it's almost 4 p.m..It may be that we sit down for a cappuccino and a couple of macarons but I can only think of one way to describe this…Afternoon tea!
We're in the office.Boring! (8)ThoughThough we've more or less finished for the day,the clock says no.Someone puts the kettle (9)onon and we sit down for a chat about the next few days.Ooh someone found a box of cupcakes…Wow!We've just had …afternoon tea!
We (10)maymay not be using flowery teacups.We're not dressed like characters from Downton Abbey either.We may not sit there for two hours.But do we still stop at 4 p.m.for a drink and something to eat?YES!
