Hi Jen,

Just a quick email to say ”hi” and so see how you are. So, what have you been doing lately?

Anything interesting? As for me, I haven’t been doing much, actually. I have been staying at home a lot recently. I’ve got my end-of-year exams next week so I have been revising for them. University isn’t all late nights and parties! How’s Dave? Are you still together? Anyway, drop me a line and let me know your news.

Have fun, Carolina x

 

Hi Carolina,

I’m fine. I’ve been studying quite a lot too – no exams, but lots of reports and assignments. As for my social life, I have been going out quite a lot. And yes, Dave and I are still together. Actually, we have been seeing each other a lot recently – almost every day. We have been going out for three months now! It must be love! Anyway, don’t work too hard and let’s meet up after your exams.

Jen x

THE UK' S FAVOURITE TAKE-AWAY MEAL

A recent survey has shown that Chinese is the UK' s favourite take-away food. Indian food, which has been been one of the UK' s official national dishes for many years, is our second favourite take-away. Of the 5000 people in the survey, 44% said they preferred Chinese food, with only 24% preferring Indian food.

Surprisingly, fish and chips and pizza are less popular with only 14% and 13% of the votes.

The top reason for ordering a take-away meal is being too tired or not wanting to cook. 'When you have worked hard all day, the last thing you want to do is cook dinner,' explained survey participant Gary Hill. 'It' s much easier to pick up the phone and order something.'

But for others, having a take-away is a ritual. 'We have been had a take-away pizza every Friday night for about ten years,' says mother-of-four Beverly Stringer.

'It' s our end-of-the week treat, but only if the kids have been well-behaved.
