I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC
Task 1. Read the text “Meals”.
We in our family have three meals a day: breakfast in the morning, dinner
at about 2 pm, and supper in the evening. As all of us work or study and have to
get up early our breakfast is usually a hasty meal, we just have a bite. It is
usually a sausage or cheese sandwich or bread and butter with jam or marmalade
and tea or coffee. My younger brother likes a plate of cornflakes with milk and
sugar. In winter we can also have some porridge to keep us warm.
On weekdays our dinner is not a fancy thing as a rule. We begin with a
glass of juice: my parents like tomato juice, my brother likes peach juice and I
prefer apple or orange juice. Then comes a starter, some meat or vegetable salad
according to the season. For the first course we have soup. My father likes
cabbage soup with sour-cream, my mother’s favourite is noodle soup, my
brother fancies pea soup and I prefer clear soup. For the second course we have
fish and chips, or chops or cutlets with stewed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
We don’t usually have dessert on weekdays, there is just tea or coffee to finish
with. But on some festive occasions we enjoy ice-cream, tasty tarts and delicious
blueberry and strawberry pies my mother makes. She has a sweet tooth, you
know. Dinner is the most substantial meal of the day. Supper comes at 7 pm and
is usually a light meal. We have an omelette with sausage or scrambled eggs
with ham or bacon, sometimes pancakes with honey, or jam and milk.
Many students of our University have lunch or dinner at the canteen. It is
a self-service room. So first we get a tray, spoons, forks and glasses and then we
take some bread at the beginning of the counter. There is always a good choice
of dishes on the menu and you can have something to your taste. To begin with
you can have a glass of juice or mixed salad. There is always some soup to
