Dear Frank,

    In your last letter, you asked me about meals in English homes. Now let me tell you something about it.

    In many English homes, people eat four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

    People have breakfast at any time from seven to nine in the morning. They eat vegetables, eggs and bread. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast.

    Lunch comes at one o'clock. Afternoon tea is from four to five in the afternoon, and dinner is at about half past seven. First, they have soup, then they have meat or fish with vegetables. After that, they eat some fruits like bananas, apples or oranges. But not all English people like those fruits. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea. All these meals are very simple.

    I hope you can visit England someday.

Yours,

Eric
