The usual meals in England are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. For breakfast, English people mostly have porridge or corn flakes with milk or cream and sugar, bacon and eggs, marmalade with buttered toast and tea or coffee. For a change, they can have a boiled egg, cold ham, or fish.
English people generally have lunch about one o'clock. At lunchtime, they eat a mutton chop, or steak and chips, or cold meat or fish with potatoes and salad, then a pudding or fruit to follow.
Afternoon tea can hardly be called a meal. It is between five and six o'clock. It is rather a sociable sort of thing, as friends often come in then for a chat while they have their cup of tea, cake or biscuit.
In some houses, dinner is the biggest meal of the day. In the evening there is usually a much simpler supper — an omelet, or sausages, sometimes bacon and eggs and sometimes just bread and cheese, a cup of coffee or cocoa and fruit.

The first of January is in the middle of winter. The weather is usually fine and there is a lot of snow everywhere. As 1 January is a holiday, I do not go to school and my parents do not go to work.
We usually have a very interesting New Year’s party at school. We have it on the 28th or 29th of December.
On 31 December, we prepare our holiday supper at home and lay the table. At 12 o’clock, we are sitting at the table and we glad to see The New Year. We say, “Best wishes for the New Year!” We do not go to bed until morning, we watch TV, dance, eat, tasty things and make jokes. It is a pleasant moment to get presents on the New Year’s Day.
I enjoy this holiday very much.
