READING ACTIVITY: READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT AND ANSWER THE QUIZ

Hi everyone,

Read the following text and answer the questions in your notebooks.

Hello, 

My name is Jack. I'm the youngest in my family. My sister Debbie is the eldest, she is twenty years old and she is studying in the University of Columbia, in New York City. She always tells me that in America, people have very different eating habits. In the morning, for example, they almost never have bread and ham, or a slice of toast with olive oil, like we have here. In New York, people usually eat bagels, which are like doughnuts but made of bread. On special days, they might have pancakes or french toasts. 

For lunch, they don't have a lot of time to eat so they usually eat a salad, a sandwich or a soup if it is very cold. Here in Spain, things are very different; we normally have a bigger lunch with meat or fish and vegetables. My sister says that her friends love to have cookies or danish pastries in the afternoon. 

At night, they sometimes have a burger or a hot dog with their friends. This is our favourite part, because my sister and I love burgers! My sister always says that our mum makes the best meals: her favourite dish is the paella, but mine is the Spanish omelette..I'm sure that nobody can make a better "tortilla" than my mum!
