In my family we have a traditional Japanese breakfast. lt isn’t very different from lunch

Meal Times and Opening Hours in the UK

In the UK people usually start work between 8.50 and 9.00 a.m. Some people have
breakfast at home but a lot of people just buy a coffee and something to eat when
they go to work. Most people work five days a week. The typical working days seven or
eight hours with a very short lunch (about half an hour at about 1.00 p.m.) People
don't go home for lunch - they just have a sandwich in a café or sandwich bar, or in
their office. People usually finish work at 5.00 or 5.30. They have dinner between 7.00
and 8.00 and this is usually the big meal of the day.

During the week they usually go to bed between 10.50 and 11.50 p.m. People go
shopping after work or at the weekend. Some shops close early during the week (5.30-
6.00 p.m.) but supermarkets and a lot of shops open until 8.00 in the evening or later.
Big shops also open on Sunday, and big supermarkets open 24 hours a day, six days a
week.

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.
