TEXT 1. Ken from Osaka in Japan

In my family we have a traditional Japanese breakfast. lt isn’t very different from lunch
and dinner. We have rice, fish, and miso soup, and we drink green tea. Today a lot of
Japanese people have a European breakfast. They have bread and croissant and they
drink coffee, not tea. But I prefer our breakfast. In my family we don’t talk at breakfast.
We eat drink and watch TV!

TEXT 2. Katalin from Nikla in Hungary

In Hungary breakfast is an important meal. In my family we have eggs, cheese, cold


meat, sausage, and bread. We drink tea or coffee, and fruit juice. Some men have a
small 'palinka' at breakfast time - it's a traditional Hungarian brandy. lt's very strong,
and I don't like it, especially not for breakfast.

TEXT 1

John Allen is 43 years old and he has four children: two daughters and two sons. John
is a plant scientist and he lives with three of his children in the South American
rainforest. Their ‘house’ is a group of tents near the River Orinoco in Venezuela. John’s
wife and one of his daughters prefer to live in London.

John’s children don’t go to school because John is their teacher. He teaches them
everything he knows, including how to survive in South America. The children don’t
know how to use a PlayStation, but they can all drive, even his 9 years old son, Simon.
At night they drive their car 50 meters from the kitchen tent to the bedroom tent
because there are a lot of wild animals in the area. They spend their free time playing
and reading books. In the evening they listen to the news on the radio. They don’t
have a TV or CD player. In the summer the children’s friends come from London to
visit. When they go home they tell their parents incredible stories of their holidays in
the Venezuelan rainforest.
