British people have a lot of customs and habits. Being English learners, the middle school students should learn something about them. Three “INGS” are the most famous.
The three “INGS” refer to betting, drinking and tipping. The ending for each of them is ING.
As we know, the British people are great lovers of betting. The bet on many things, but they bet mainly on sports activities, such as horse-racing. It is a gambling（赌博）sport. This means that they will risk money on a race or on some other events of which the result is doubtful. Not only the amount of the betted money but also the number of the people who take part in it is very large.
Drinking is another habit of the British people. Most men have the habit of drinking beer, wine and so on. They also drink tea. Their drinking habits are so normal that they have it in pubs, inns and restaurants from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and again from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.. But sometimes the hours are different in different places. Every day they have two twenty-minute tea breaks; one is in the morning, the other in the afternoon, during which people stop their work and drink tea. It is reported that the British people use up a quarter of the world total of the tea goods.
Tipping is the last of the three. It seems you should give a certain amount of money to the person who has served you. The number of the money depends on the type and extent of the service you have received. In the hotel, a service charge of 10 to 15 percent will be added to your bill, and you might give something extra to the porter who carried your bags, and you might give some more money to your taxi driver besides your fee.
