英语学习乐园：早餐吃鸡蛋

Alex: What would you like for breakfast?

 

Tebogo: I'll just have a coffee.

 

Alex: That isn't good for you. You should eat more before you go to work.

 

Tebogo: I'm not going to work today. Anyway, I don't like breakfast. I'm not hungry in the morning.

 

Alex: I'll show you what a real breakfast is.

 

Tebogo: I know. I've seen it before, in Australia. And theUnited States. How could anyone eat a steak for breakfast? Ugh!

 

Alex: Well, I haven't got a steak. But I've got eggs, sausages, bacon¹, tomatoes, beans and mushrooms.

 

Tebogo: There isn't time to cook all that.

 

Alex: Yes there is, if you help me. And we can have toast with jam and lots of tea or coffee. And we can start with cereal² or orange-juice.

 

Tebogo: Is that what's called a full English breakfast?

 

Alex: Nearly.

 

Tebogo: I like a continental³ breakfast. I had it in France.

 

Alex: Yea, that's nice too, with warm croissants and lots of jam and coffee - and some fruit perhaps.

 

Tebogo: Well, if you want to have your giant breakfast you'd better hurry.

 

Alex: Perhaps I'll have it on Sunday instead. We'll have more time then.

 

Tebogo: Yea, and I won't have to make it. So do you want to make some coffee now?

 

Alex: Sure, I'll have one too. Then I can grab⁴ a

sandwich at eleven o'clock.

 

Tebogo: And I can go back to sleep!
