Doris has written a restaurant review on the Internet．
Excellent English food at the Country House
Last Saturday night，my family and I ate at the Country House．
The Country House serves traditional English food，we paid about 15 to 20 pounds a person to eat
there．
The food was wonderful．The fish pie reminded me of my grandma．She used to cook it for me．I also
had some fish and chips，and it was fantastic．
The waiters were polite，but a little slow．We were seated at 7 p．m．，but we did not receive our food
until 7：40 p．m．
I would certainly recommend the Country House for good，traditional English food．However，you should get there early and be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for your food．

Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on，a study suggests．
For over 10 years，researchers from universities observed （观察） children in 100 schools from 25 countries．They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes．It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on．
"Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on，"said professor

"The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair．And we've found that 95% of them really don't read on a chair at home，"Heppel added．"When they go on holidays，they read lying down．"
