1. My meals

My mother cooks for our family. She cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner. For breakfast I often have a sandwich with cheese, sausage, butter and a cup of tea, or coffee. Sometimes I eat porridge or cornflakes with milk. I like to drink apple or orange juice. For lunch I usually eat soup as the first course. It can be cabbage shchee, solyanka, pea soup or fish soup for a change. As the main course I like to have chicken, cutlets or meatballs with potatoes or noodles. I like a salad with tomatoes and cucumbers. Fruit and vegetables are very important for our organism, because they contain vitamins and minerals. They are good for health. In my menu there are different vegetables: cabbage, green peas, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers….. From fruit I like apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, kivis…… Dinner must not be big, not to overeat, so it’s good to have some vegetable salads, and dairy(milk) products. I prefer yoghurt. While at college I usually have a snack in the cafeteria or in the student canteen. I can take some …….. and……. there.
