3．In the UK we have many different names for mealtimes，including breakfast，brunch，elevenses，lunch，tea，dinner and supper．
Elevenses and tea are two British traditions．Elevenses is eaten at 11：00am，including cakes or biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee．Tea is normally taken between 4：30and 5：30pm．However，because people have busy lifestyles in Britain，we only eat three main meals each day-breakfast，lunch and dinner．A traditional English breakfast includes sausages，bacon，fried eggs，mushrooms，baked beans，fried tomatoes，and toast with butter．However，these days most people don't eat a traditional breakfast every day．This is because it is very unhealthy，and many people don't have time to cook．Most people eat a bowl of cereal with milk，or have a slice of toast with butter．Lunch is a quick meal because schoolchildren and people at work are busy．In fact，many parents give their children a"packed lunch"in a plastic lunchbox．There is usually a sandwich and a packet of crisps，a piece of fruit and a drink in it．However，on Sunday people usually have a larger lunch called"Sunday lunch"．This is a time that people like to spend with their family．The lunch consists of（包括） roast meat，roast potatoes，Yorkshire pudding，and vegetables．Dinner is the main meal of the day，and a time for people to relax and enjoy a cooked meal with friends or family after a hard day at work．"Going out for dinner"is a very popular kind of date，and some people see eating good food as very romantic．
