Our class – the food we eat and when we eat it

The students in our English class are from three different countries: Italy, Japan and Brazil.
After talking about typical food and our daily routines at home, we found that we all have
breakfast, lunch and dinner. But we were surprised about how different these meals are!
Italy
A typical Italian breakfast, or pranzo, isn’t very big; just coffee and some kind of cake. Our
delicious cappuccino coffee is famous all over the world. Another Italian food that everybody
knows is pasta but this isn’t the main part of lunch. We have two dishes, the first is pasta and
then the second is meat or fish with vegetables. Lunch is usually from 1-3 p.m. and it’s often
bigger than dinner which starts at 7 or 8 p.m.
Japan
In Japan we really like rice and in the past everybody ate it for breakfast. Now, a lot of
Japanese people have European-style food instead when they get up. We are big fans of
fish and seafood and a lot of Japanese people prefer green tea to coffee. In general, our
meals are smaller than in Brazil or Italy and we think they’re healthier too. One popular thing
in Japan is bento. This is a kind of lunch box which you can make at home or buy at the shop
on the way to the office. It’s very beautiful and sometimes takes a long time for a chef to
make it.
Brazil
Like the Italians, Brazilian people eat a lot of food at lunchtime. A favourite place for lunch in
Brazil is called a churrascaria. In this kind of restaurant you can enjoy steak and other meat
but you need to be hungry! If you don’t like eating a large lunch, you can buy some street
food like pastel de queijo, which is a hot snack with cheese inside. We have dinner later than
the Italians at around 8.30 p.m. and it’s family time.
Example: All the students eat 3 meals a day at home.

A True 
1 The Italians eat a lot of food for breakfast.
2 They don’t usually eat pasta for dinner.
