Reading & Writing 5.A Breakfast Around the World Where in the world would you like to eat breakfast? Listen to people talking about some typical breakfast foods while you read the text. Then do the exercises which follow the text. MEXICO In Mexico, one of our favourite breakfasts is called huevos rancheros. This dish is made by spreading refried beans onto fresh tortillas, then putting a couple of fried eggs with hot sauce on top. In the Yucatan, they add chopped ham, peas, and cheese and call it huevos motuleños. We like to drink sweet café con leche or sometimes coffee with cinnamon and brown sugar. Chocolate beverages are also popular. They are usually thick and frothy, and are often flavoured with spices and sometimes pine nuts. INDIA In India, a typical breakfast dish is khichri, which is made with a mixture of rice, lentils, and spices. Another popular breakfast food is eggs scrambled with spices, potatoes, and onions. In southern India you can eat apam, a delicious rice pancake, similar to a crepe, that is filled with spiced meat or potatoes and vegetables. We also like to eat puttu, which is a steamed rice and coconut dish, served with bananas and milk, and idli, a steamed warm rice cake. Spiced tea is the beverage of choice in most of India, but in the south, we prefer coffee. TURKEY A popular breakfast for us in Turkey is tarhana soup with fresh bread. Tarhana is a mixture of crushed wheat and yoghurt made into small cakes, which are then dried in the sun. To make the soup, we cook the tarhana in chicken or meat broth and add some curd cheese. If we have the time, a full breakfast includes ekmek, a typical Turkish bread, served with fruit preserves, honey, boiled eggs, black olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, and sheep milk cheese. Then there s our famous Turkish coffee, which is made by boiling very fine coffee grounds in water with sugar and sometimes, spices. It is served black, in tiny cups. Page 39
SWITZERLAND In Switzerland, we love to eat muesli in the morning. Usually, muesli is a combination of rolled oats, nuts, and fresh and dried fruits, which is served with milk or yoghurt. Our national dish, Rösti potatoes, is another favourite Swiss breakfast choice. This dish consists of potatoes that are first boiled, then grated and fried, and finally grilled and topped with cheese. Sometimes, breakfast is a hearty meal of eggs, bread with butter and jam, cold meats, and cheese. Coffee and hot chocolate are the beverages of choice. JAPAN A traditional Japanese breakfast consists of tea, steamed rice, and miso soup, which is made from fermented soy bean paste.

Supplementary Exercises Overall Rating: CATEGORIES RATING REASONS Atmosphere/Decor Food Coffee Wine Service Cost This small and intimate French restaurant is famous for its excellent food. It is located on the St. Lawrence River and offers a beautiful view from the windows. The candlelight and soft music make it relaxing and romantic. The menu choice is fairly small because Chez Henri specializes in steak and seafood. Their fish is very fresh and cooked to perfection. The wine list has some excellent French wines. Both the red and white house wines are dry but expensive. The appetiser includes an excellent cream of seafood soup or a fresh, crispy Romaine salad with a wonderful dressing. For the main course, my partner had the baked salmon which was served with buttered asparagus, a baked potato, and a slice of lemon. I chose the seafood platter which included shrimp, scallops and a small lobster. It came with buttered carrots and rice. Both dishes were perfectly cooked. The service was excellent. For dessert, my partner had an exceptional chocolate mousse in a delicate Grand Marnier sauce. I chose a creamy French pastry which was also superb. All the desserts were fantastic. In fact, the chocolate mousse received the Prix d Excellence last year. The coffee was also excellent. Appetizers, main course, dessert and coffee come to $85.00 per couple. Chez Henri seems expensive, but for the quality of food and service it is more reasonable than the majority of restaurants in its class. Page 137
Supplementary Exercises This simple, cozy, neighbourhood restaurant is very informal. The small room has only ten tables, each covered with red and white checkered tablecloths. There are beautiful pictures of Italy on the walls. Maria s is a small family-run operation. It offers very good Italian food with big servings and at modest prices. The daily special includes soup or salad, main course, dessert and coffee. The fresh homemade soup of the day is very tasty and the basic salad is very simple but good too. The menu is limited to pasta, but all the pasta is homemade and first-rate. I recommend the house specialty, linguine in white sauce with chicken breast and spinach. The homemade Italian ice-cream is delicious. Finish the meal with a really good cappuccino coffee. All this for only $11.00 per person! You can bring your own wine. The service is a little slow but that gives you the time to have a long relaxed diner and enjoy unlimited cups of coffee. The place is small but comfortable and extremely friendly. This chain of fast-food restaurants offers the tastiest chicken wings at the lowest prices in the country a bucket of 30 spicy chicken wings for $16.00 including coleslaw, French fries and drinks! Unfortunately, the hamburgers are not recommended because they are very greasy. The bun I had was soggy with grease. Also, the lettuce on the burger was not fresh. The restaurant s dessert specialty, a strawberry pastry topped with whipped cream was disappointing. It tasted artificial. The quality of the coffee was only ordinary. Children under five get free apple juice or milk and on Monday night they can eat at half price. The restaurant is family-oriented as it provides coloured crayons and paper for kids to draw on while they wait for their meal. The MacKenzie restaurants are extremely clean but the decor is rather cool and not very interesting. A major attraction is their quick and efficient service. Andrea s Buffet offers a great choice of almost everything you can imagine soups, salads, roast beef, roast lamb, seafood, Chinese food, Italian food, and all kinds of desserts! You will see table after table of food and you can serve yourself as many times as you like. All of the food is good, and some of it is delicious. The coffee, however, is only average. In evenings, a meal costs $11.00 a person for all you can eat. Alcoholic beverages and milk are extra. Children under five can eat at half price. The restaurant has good red and white house wines and a various makes of beer are served at reasonable prices. The dining room is huge and therefore gets very noisy. The service is friendly but rather slow. It can take up to ten minutes for the waiter to bring water or a beverage. Page 138

Lack of sleep can seriously affect mental and physical activities. It can have an effect similar to drinking alcohol. The right amount of sleep is the amount that will permit you to function throughout the day without feeling drowsy when you sit quietly. On average, an adult needs seven to eight hours. However, some people need as little as five hours while others need as many as ten. Sleep needs also vary with age. Babies up to six months need eighteen to twenty hours of sleep. Six to twelve month-old children require sixteen to eighteen hours, and one to four year-olds need thirteen hours. From early adulthood onwards, a typical person needs seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Page 150
Supplementary Exercises Reading & Writing 9. True/False plus personal viewpoint questions 1. First, review the grammar explanation in the note box below. 2. Then read the text and decide if the statements that follow are TRUE or FALSE. 3. Finally, answer the remaining questions. Fewer Canadians choosing marriage Statistics Canada reports that the number of people getting married took a plunge in 1991, as 8.2 percent fewer people got married than the previous year. This is the lowest level since the 1930s. The drop was attributed to a combination of factors, including tougher economic times, both men and women delaying marriage until they are older, and couples choosing to live common-law relationships. In 1991, about 726,000 Canadian couples lived common-law relationships, compared with about 487,000 in 1986. On average, women now get married for the first time at age 26.2, compared with 22.6 in 1971. Men s average age when they first tie the knot is 28.2, compared with 24.9 in 1971. In 1992, marriage rates declined in all provinces, suggesting that more people may be postponing marriage while they deal with tough economic times. The lowest marriage rates were in the Northwest Territories at 3.9 per 1,000 people and Quebec at 4. 2. The highest were in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, at 7.4. Note the three forms of adjectives : basic form, comparative form, superlative form low, lower, lowest (bas, plus bas, le plus bas) high, higher, highest (haut, plus haut, le plus haut) few, fewer, fewest (moins, moins de, le moins) old, older, oldest (vieux, plus vieux, le plus vieux) Page 151

Reading 3. Objective Choice Comprehension Questions Part A Read the text. Complete the text by circling the most appropriate response. The Family The North American family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents and children lived together. Sometimes the family included brothers and sisters with their wives or husbands or children. There were perhaps other relatives such as aunts and uncles. They all lived together in one house as one extended family. Slowly the family became the nuclear family. In this family there are two parents and one or more children. In most cases one person goes to work. Usually, it is the father. The mother stays home with the children. Today, North American families look very different. Often both parents work and the children go to daycare centres. Some are still extended families or nuclear families. Some are single-parent families. More and more, families from divorces are forming new families. These blended families consist of step-children and step-parents, as well as half-brothers and half-sisters. 1. By definition, a nuclear family consists of a. a mother, father and children. b. a father who works and a mother who says home with the children. c. a husband and a wife. 2.
