🌍 Exercise 3: Breakfasts Around the World
1. Alia from Botswana
My favourite breakfast is bogobe. It's porridge with some milk, a little sugar and a few pieces of melon. We eat a lot of fruit in Botswana, especially watermelons. We all drink bush tea for breakfast.
2. Laila from Spain
For breakfast, we have lots of toasted bread with tomatoes and herbs or a potato omelette called 'tortilla espanola'. At weekends, I like to have some churros dipped in thick hot chocolate.
3. Samer from Jordan
During the week, I usually eat a bowl of hot ful (boiled fava beans) with lemon juice, olive oil and chillis. At weekends we have savoury pastries with hummus, olives and yoghurt.
