Method 1. Preheat the oven to fan 100C/ conventional 110C/gas 1⁄4. Line 2 baking sheets with Bake-O-Glide non-stick liner or parchment paper (meringue can stick on greaseproof paper and foil). 2. Tip the 4 large egg whites into a large clean mixing bowl (not plastic). Beat them on medium speed with an electric hand whisk until the mixture resembles a fluffy cloud and stands up in stiff peaks when the blades are lifted. 3. Now turn the speed up and start to add 115g caster sugar, a dessertspoonful at a time. Continue beating for 3-4 seconds between each addition. It’s important to add the sugar slowly at this stage as it helps prevent the meringue from weeping later. However, don’t over-beat. When ready, the mixture should be thick and glossy. 4. Sift one third of the 115g icing sugar over the mixture, then gently fold it in with a big metal spoon or rubber spatula. Continue to sift and fold in the remaining icing sugar a third at a time. Again, don’t over-mix. The mixture should now look smooth and billowy, almost like a snow drift. 5. Scoop up a heaped dessertspoonful of the mixture. Using another dessertspoon, ease it on to the baking sheet to make an oval shape (pic 3). Or just drop them in rough rounds, if you prefer. Bake for 1 1⁄2-1 3⁄4 hours in a fan oven, 1 1⁄4 hours in a conventional or gas oven, until the meringues sound crisp when tapped underneath and are a pale coffee colour. Leave to cool on the trays or a cooling rack. (The meringues will now keep in an airtight tin for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for a month.) Serve two meringues sandwiched together with a generous dollop of softly whipped double cream.
I think all people have friends. Friendship is one of the most valuable things in life. For me friendship is not only communication, but support, understanding and sympathy. Only time can show, whether the friendship is strong or not. A good friend will not take offence at you if you disagree with him. I have a lot of friends, but two of them are the best. My friends are very important for me because they can support me at a difficult moment. My friends are very interesting people.They are kind, sympathetic, friendly and cheerful. Usually we go for a walk with them. Sometimes we go to the cinema together. Seldom, I go shopping with them. And certainly we like to play jokes at each other. When I’m bored, I can always phone my friends and ask them to come over. A real friend is every time next to you, you can for sure count on his support and attention. As I have already mentioned, my friends are very important for me. They make my life bright and interesting. I am happy that I have good friends. To my mind, those who have friends have less stress and live longer. Я думаю, что все люди имеют друзей. Дружба-это одна из самых ценных вещей в жизни. Для меня дружба это не только общение, но и поддержка, понимание и сочувствие. Только время может показать, является ли дружба крепкой или нет. У меня много друзей, но двое из них являются самыми лучшими. Мои друзья очень важны для меня, потому что они могут поддержать меня в трудную минуту. Мои друзья очень интересные люди. Они добрые, отзывчивые, дружелюбные и веселые. Обычно мы ходим на прогулки с ними. Иногда мы идем в кино вместе. Редко, я хожу по магазинам с ними. И, конечно, нам нравится подшучивать друг над другом. Когда мне скучно, я всегда могу позвонить своим друзьям и попросить их приехать. Настоящий друг в любое время рядом с тобой, вы можете наверняка рассчитывать на его поддержку и внимание. Как я уже говорил, мои друзья очень важны для меня. Они делают мою жизнь яркой и интересной. Я счастлив(а), что у меня есть хорошие друзья. На мой взгляд, у кого есть друзья, у того меньше стрессов и они живут дольше.
