1 Task. Reading. Read the text and answer for the questions My favourite meal, by Jonathan Jones
My favourite meal is breakfast. From Monday to Friday I go to
school early so I have a quick breakfast. I usually have cereals
with milk or sometimes I have toast and jam, but the weekend
is different!
At the weekend, on Saturdays and
Sundays, my dad cooks an English
breakfast for everyone in our family. A
typical English breakfast is egg, bacon,
sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms and
baked beans (beans in tomato sauce).
Then we have toast and jam. I drink
orange juice and my mum and dad drink
tea or coffee. I love breakfast at the
weekend because I have breakfast with
all my family.
