Good reasons for going to the student cafeteria

Eating in the student cafeteria is a pleasant experience.

First, the food is excellent. It is well–prepared, it tastes delicious, and there are many different kinds of
food like hamburgers, pizza, and chicken. Moreover, each person serves himself, selecting just what he
wants.

Second, there is a good environment in the cafeteria. Many happy young people are talking and
laughing. However, the atmosphere is still calm; it is possible to study and to do homework. Finally,
there are many friendly people at the Students Center. Even strangers say “Hi!” and offer to share their
tables. When this happens, practice in speaking English and friendship often follow.
In general, it is nice to go to the Students Center Cafeteria once in a while to enjoy eating, studying and
talking to new people.

Grammar

Countable and Uncountable nouns

Countable nouns are individual objects, people, places, etc. which can be counted: books,
Italians, pictures, stations, men, students, pencils, etc.
A countable noun can be both singular: a friend, a house, etc. and plural: a few apples, lots of trees, etc.
Use the singular form of the verb with a singular countable noun:
There is a notebook on the desk.
That student is excellent!
Use the plural form of the verb with a countable noun in the plural:
There are some students in the classroom.
Those houses are very expensive.

Uncountable nouns are materials, concepts, information, etc. which are not individual objects and
cannot be counted: information, water, understanding, wood, cheese, chocolate, etc. Uncountable
nouns are always singular. Use the singular form of the verb with uncountable nouns:
There is some water in that pitcher.
That is the equipment we use for the project.

Grammar Tip
Some uncountable nouns in English are countable in other languages.
This can be confusing! Here is a list of some of the most common, easy to confuse uncountable nouns:

baggage - bread - equipment - furniture - garbage - information - money - news - pasta

Obviously, uncountable nouns (especially different types of food) have forms that express plural concepts.
These measurements or containers are countable:
water - a glass of water
equipment - a piece of equipment
cheese - a slice of cheese
