MAKING SUGGESTIONS

Read the following text; then write about your city and make suggestions about food in your city.

My name is Julian. I'm from Madrid. In Madrid there is a lot of good food you should try.

For breakfast, you should have “porras” or "churros" with chocolate. “Porras” are like “churros” but longer and wider.

For lunch you should have “cocido madrileño”. It's very typical in Madrid.

For lunch or dinner, you should try “tapas” like “patatas bravas”, “boquerones fritos”, “patatas ali-oli”, “callos a la madrileña” and of course a calamari sandwich. You should also try “boquerones en vinagre”. They are delicious.

For a sweet treat, you should try “rosquillas del Santo” but just on 15th May. I love them, they are really good.

HEALTHY FOOD

We divide food into four main groups:

1 Carbohydrates are our main source of energy. We get carbohydrates from bread, potatoes, pasta and rice.

2 Vitamins and minerals are very important for good health. Fruit and vegetables are full of vitamins. Iron and calcium are minerals which help to keep our blood and bones healthy. They are in meat, fruit and vegetables.

3 Proteins help us to grow, and they help to repair and heal our bodies if we are tired, ill or injured. There are proteins in meat, fish, eggs, milk, beans and lots of other foods too.

4 Sugars and fats give us energy. Some fats, such as milk, butter and cream, come from animals; other fats, like olive oil, come from plants. Fats are useful and necessary in small amounts, but don’t eat too much! Cakes, chips, chocolate and biscuits have a lot of fat and are not good for us. We call them junk food.
