AT THE PUB
Pubs (short for public houses) are an important part of British life. They are as a rule quiet, rather private places, large or small, new or old, in cities or in the countryside, with a friendly atmosphere where local people meet in the evening for company and conversation.
You can find every kind of person there: doctors, schoolteachers, workers. They come to relax, talk, play games like darts or billiards and have their usual drink or a meal. You can buy many kinds of drinks in pubs, alcoholic and nonalcoholic. The typical drink is beer. There are many different types of beer both draught and bottled, which is served in pints (0.57 of a litre) or half pints. You never ask for a pint of beer, ask always for a pint of bitter, lager, keg or other particular name of the beer. You can also buy spirits (e. g. whisky, gin, vodka) and usually wine, by the glass, but not by the bottle.
There are also a lot of soft drinks, e. g. coca-cola (coke), fruit juice or lemonade. A very refreshing drink on a hot day is a shandy (lemonade mixed with beer).
The pub is the place where you meet people. You get to know other "regulars", you buy drinks in turn, which is called "to stand a round" and you talk. You talk about the weather or how the English cricket team is doing in the Test Match against Australia. And although the regulars see each other almost every night for years, they never go into each others homes.
People may want to sing in the pub. Then they ask someone to play the tunes on the old piano. The pianist has free drinks as long as he plays. That is the custom.
Some pubs have two bars (the saloon bar and the public bar) and a restaurant. The saloon is better decorated and more comfortable (but the drinks are more expensive). The games and music are in public bars. In the restaurants you can get a complete meal.
It's normal to buy one's own drinks at the bar and the barman is not tipped unless he brings drinks to your table. Each order is paid for separately, and not at the end of the evening like in restaurants.
There are strict laws regulating opening times and those allowed into pubs.
The times vary in different parts of the country but most of them are open from 11 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays. Children under 14 are not allowed to get into a pub, and young people under the age of 18 are not allowed to buy alcoholic drinks. Many today's pubs have tables outside, sometimes in the well-tended gardens. It's quite normal for women to go into pubs in Britain, but like everybody else they must follow the licensing laws.
Questions for discussion:
1. What is a pub/a bar?
2. Is it more popular than a restaurant in Britain?
3. Why do English people go to a pub?

В ПАБЕПабы (для публичных домах) являются важной частью британской жизни. Они как правило тихо, а частные места, большие или малые, новые или старые, в городах или в сельской местности, с дружественной атмосферой, где местные жители встречаются в вечере для компании и разговорной речи. Вы можете найти любой человек: врачей, учителей, работников. Они приходят, чтобы расслабиться, разговаривать, играть в игры, как дартс или бильярд и имеют их обычный напиток или перекусить. Вы можете купить много видов напитков в барах, алкогольных и безалкогольных. Типичный напиток – пиво. Есть много различных видов пива разливного и бутылках, который подается в пинт (0,57 литра) или половина пинты. Вы никогда не просите пинта пива, всегда спросите пинты Горького, лагер, бочонок или другое особое название пива. Вы можете также купить духи (е. г. виски, Джин, водка) и обычно вина, стекло, но не бутылку. Есть также много безалкогольных напитков, например Кока-Кола (кокс), фруктовый сок или лимонад. Очень освежающий напиток на жаркий день является Шенди (лимонад, смешанные с пивом). Паб это место, где вы встретите людей. Узнаешь других «завсегдатаев», вы покупаете напитки в свою очередь, которая называется «встать раунд», и вы говорите. Вы говорите о погоде или как английский крикет команда делает в тест матче против Австралии. И хотя завсегдатаями видят друг друга, почти каждую ночь в течение лет, они никогда не идут в друг друга дома. Люди хотят петь в пабе. Затем они просят кого-то играть мелодии на старом пианино. Пианист имеет бесплатные напитки до тех пор, пока он играет. Это обычай. Некоторые пабы имеют два бара (салон-бар и бар) и ресторан. Салон лучше и более (но напитки дороже). Игры и музыка находятся в общественных барах. В ресторанах вы можете получить полную еду. Это нормально, чтобы купить один собственные напитки в баре, и бармен не наконечником, если он приносит напитки к вашему столу. Каждый заказ оплачивается отдельно, а не в конце вечером, как в ресторанах. Существуют строгие законы, регулирующие время и тех, которые допускаются в пабах.Время варьируется в различных частях страны, но большинство из них открыты с 11: 00 до 14:30 и с 18: 00 до 23: 00 по будням. Дети до 14 лет не допускаются в паб, и молодые люди в возрасте до 18 лет не разрешается покупать алкогольные напитки. Сегодня многие пабы имеют столы снаружи, иногда в ухоженных садах. Это вполне нормально для женщин в пабах в Великобритании, но как и все остальное они должны соблюдать законы лицензирования. Вопросы для обсуждения: 1. что такое паб / бар? 2. является более популярным, чем Ресторан в Великобритании? 3. Почему английский люди идут в паб? 4. Какие напитки они обычно имеют там? 5. является ли алкоголь запрещен в пабов/баров? 6. есть ли такие места, как пабы в нашей стране? 7. Какие напитки вы можете заказать там? 8. Существует большое разнообразие пива в британских пабов? В нашей стране? 9. какие из них являются лучшими? 10. это обычно стоять вокруг в нашей стране? 11. Каковы выпивая привычки в нашей стране? 12. является ли алкоголизм социальной проблемой во многих странах?
