Now about our trip to the Science Museum. It's a school holiday so you must wear<br />school uniform. When we're inside the museum you must walk quietly and behave<br />politely. Can we take photos in the museum Miss Scott? Yes you can take photos in<br />one or two rooms but you mustn't take photos when you see the no photos sign<br />and you mustn't eat or drink inside the rooms when things are on show. But miss<br />what about lunch? I didn't say you mustn't eat or drink at all Rick. There's a<br />picnic area in the museum. You can have lunch there. Great that sounds fun.

Welcome to the food show, Justin.<br />Thank you.<br />Tell us, the restaurants in London and New York, what time do people go to restaurants in New York?<br />Any time of the day or night.<br />But in general, I think people eat earlier in New York than they do in London.<br />In New York, it's common for people to go to a restaurant at about 5 or 6 p.m. and finish at 8 or 9 p.m.<br />But in London, people go to restaurants between 7 and 8.30 p.m. and the meal ends at 10 or 11 p.m.<br />That's too late for Americans.<br />Do you think American and British people like the same kind of food?<br />Not really. In Britain, people love hot foods from other countries.<br />They say Indian curry is now Britain's most popular dish.<br />There are a lot of Indian restaurants in London.<br />But in New York, you will find many South American and Italian restaurants.<br />Americans prefer pizza, beef, that kind of thing.

I love being a magician.<br />I have a lot of fun, but I also work really hard.<br />I work long hours and I don't have any free time at the weekend.<br />I only have one day off a week when I can go out with my friends.<br />On a typical day, I practice for about eight hours every day, and then I do a show with<br />my group in the evening.<br />At midday, everybody eats together.<br />It's really important to eat a big lunch because we don't have time to have dinner.<br />After a show, I have a snack and go to bed, but I often can't sleep, so I listen to music<br />to relax.<br />On my day off, I often sleep all day.<br />Sometimes I go to town with my friends, and we go shopping, sitting cafes, or go to the<br />cinema.<br />I travel a lot with the group.<br />Every two weeks, we move to a different city.<br />I miss my family and friends, but I never get lonely because I have amazing group members<br />here.<br />They are really friendly and a bit crazy, but they're hardworking and professional too.<br />I want to be successful, but the job of magician is difficult.<br />The best thing is when I'm on the stage.<br />I love seeing people's faces.<br />I hope to be a famous magician.
