Read the passage and tick True or False

Hello. My name is Sarah. I'm twelve years old and I live in London. I have a big family: I live with my parents and my twin sisters Jane and Sue.

Everybody thinks we have the traditional English breakfast: fried bread, sausages, bacon and eggs, tomatoes, baked beans and mushrooms...ah ah! But there is no time, of course! We usually have a glass of milk with bread and butter or cereals like corn flakes. I prefer my cereals with yoghurt. I have a snack in the morning: always a piece of fruit.

I have lunch at about one o'clock. My favourite food is spaghetti with meat balls and a fresh glass of orange juice. I don't like rice. For dessert I love vanilla ice cream. Yummy!

In the afternoon I normally eat a cheese sandwich.

At about half-past eight we have dinner. We always eat soup. I like vegetable soup very much. We often have fish and salad.

After dinner, we like to watch "Matilda Ramsay" or "MasterChef" on TV.

Before I go to bed, I like to drink hot chocolate. My parents prefer drinking tea.

1. Jane and Sue are at the same age.

2. Her family always have traditional English breakfasts.

3. Sarah’s snack is a piece of fruit.

4. Sarah eats rice and a fresh glass of orange juice at lunch.

Hi! My name's Philip. I'm 12 years old and I'm American. I was born in Boston on August 15th, but I live in Colorado Springs with my parents and my siblings – Jessica and James. She's 14 and he's 16.

We usually have breakfast together. Jessica and I have milk and a bowl of cereal, but John has tea and toast with jam. He doesn't like milk. Sometimes Jessica and I also have a piece of toast, but not with jam. It's too sweet. We prefer cheese or ham.

On weekdays we have lunch in the school canteen at 12:30. My favourite food is pork chops with French fries. Jessica doesn't like it. She says eating too much fat is bad for our health. She prefers fish with vegetables. James doesn't worry about his health. He loves fast food. His favourite dish is pizza, but he can only have it once a week, usually at the weekend when we go to Pizza Hut. Our school can't sell fast food in the canteen.

When we get home at 4:30 we have a snack - a glass of orange juice and a cheese and ham sandwich. We always have dinner at 8 o'clock. We have soup, meat or fish, and fruit. Sometimes our mom makes our favourite dessert: cheesecake with cherry topping. Yummy, Yummy!
