Level A2: Food and drink

Always Hungry!

Right, my name is Leo, I'm 13, and I think I have a problem: I'm always hungry. My mum says my legs are growing and my stomach is just a big, empty hole.

Let's see what we have. I'm looking in the fridge now. For breakfast, I usually have some toast and some orange juice. Is there any juice left? Oh, brilliant, a new carton. We have some apples, too. My dad says apples are healthier than biscuits. I suppose he's right, but biscuits are definitely nicer! It looks like we don't have any chocolate bars. That's a bit sad.

For lunch at school, the food is... okay. Sometimes they make pizza. It's good, but the pizza from the Italian restaurant in town is much tastier. My mum's packed lunches are always better than school lunches, anyway. She makes fantastic cheese sandwiches.

So, for dinner tonight... what do I want? I'd like to have chicken and chips. Yes, definitely. I wouldn't like any salad with it, though. Just the chicken and lots of chips.

And for my birthday next month, I know exactly what I want. I'd like a massive chocolate cake. My nan makes amazing cakes. They are much bigger and more delicious than the ones from the supermarket. I just love food! Is it dinner time yet?
