1. Read and translate the text:
My Meals
I usually have three big meals a day: breakfast, lunch and supper, and I always have some snacks between them. On weekdays, I`m always short of time in the mornings. So, my breakfast is not very big. I usually have a cup of strong tea or coffee and a couple of sandwiches. At about 11 a.m. I usually have a light snack.
I always have lunch at work. Sometimes I take food with me and heat it up in the microwave. But more frequently I go out for lunch with my colleagues to a near-by café. They have a lot of dishes on the menu and the food is always fresh and well cooked. My lunch is quite substantial. To begin with, I usually have some vegetable salad. For the first course I have some soup – noodle, mushroom or vegetable soup. For the second course I like to have meat or chicken with vegetables or mashed potato. For dessert I prefer stewed fruit or fruit juice with a slice of cake.
I have supper at about 7 p.m. at home with my family. Sometimes we go out to eat in fast food restaurants, like McDonald`s. I like everything there: cheeseburgers, hamburgers, French fries, fruit cocktails or fizzy drinks. But we don`t go there very often, because fast food is not very healthy.
2. Learn the poem by heart:

The bread was stale.
It was four days old.
The milk was sour.
The coffee was cold.
The butter was rancid.
The steak was tough.
The service was dreadful.
The waiter was rough.
My bill was huge.
