British people love going to pubs. They often say "If you haven't been to a pub,you haven't been to Britain.”

The word "pub" is short for "Public House". There are over 60,000 pubs in the UK（53,000 in England and Wales, 5,200 in Scotland and 1,600 in Northern Ireland）. One of the oldest pubs, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans Herts, is located(位于）in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.

Pubs are an important part of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there.

Pubs often have two bars, one usually quieter than the other. Many have a garden where people can sit in the summer. Children can go in pub gardens with their parents.

In pubs, groups of friends normally buy “rounds" of drinks, where the person whose turn it is will buy drinks for all the members of the group. It is sometimes difficult to get served when pubs are busy: people do not queue, but the bar staff will usually try and serve those who have been waiting the longest at the bar first. If you spill a stranger's drink by accident, it is good manners to offer to buy another drink.

Most pubs belong to a brewery（a company which makes beer) but sell many different kinds of beer, some on tap (from a big container under the bar) and some in bottles. The most popular kind of British beer is bitter, which is dark and served at room temperature (not hot, not cold). British beer is brewed from malt and hops.

Pubs have traditional names which date back over 600 years. Some typical names are The Chequers, The White Swan, The Crown, The King's Arms, The Red Lion and The White Horse. There is usually a sign outside the pub showing the pub’s name with a picture.

British pubs are required to have a license, which is difficult to get. And they are allowed to open for 24 hours every day. Most pubs are open from 11 to 11.

So next time when you go to UK, please go to one of the pubs. After all, seeing is believing!

I worked for a short time as a cashier at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I also helped clear off the tables when it was busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a ___________on the floor near one of the tables. I thought I should have ___________it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at that time.

Thinking about it later, I began _____________whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet!
