Note to recorder:

A British accent would be appreciated since the document is about the UK. Thank you for your help, take care.

Food in the U.K.
Popular food in the UK :
- Fish and Chips : fish fingers with French fries
- Black Pudding : sausage of pig's blood and fat that is mixed with spices and cooked or fried
- Baked Beans on Toast : baked beans in tomato sauce are especially popular among children
- Welsh Rarebit : baked toast with Cheddar cheese
- Chicken Tikka : small pieces of chicken cooked using Indian spices and yogurt
And as many of you might have guessed already : the British are big tea drinkers and are among the world's biggest tea consumers. Afternoon tea is taken around 4pm and 5pm in many families when children come home from school... Tea time !

Wildlife :
The largest mammal in the U.K. is the red deer. Various species of deer and rabbits are common in the UK. Badgers, foxes, hedgehogs live in the woodlands and forests or the isles.

Sport :
Curling : Curling is played by two teams of four players. Curling is a winter sport that is very popular in Scotland. Players on two teams slide large stones toward a circular goal at the opposite end of an ice field. The object of the game is for each team to get its stones closest to the center.
Golf: Golf is an outdoor sport played with clubs and a small ball. It is played on a large, grassy area called a course. The goal is to finish playing the course with as few hits as possible.
Netball : Netball is a sport played by two teams of seven. It is like basketball except that bouncing the ball is not allowed. The player cannot step with the ball either, nor hold it for more than three seconds. The game proceeds by players throwing (or passing) the ball to each other until one attempts to throw it through the hoop, known as a "shot".

Note: fish and chips isn't fish fingers and french fries. The fish is usually a battered filet, and the chips are much bigger than french fries. Chip-shop chips are quite unique in the UK!
