a) Read the postcard and answer the questions.

Dear Naya,

I’m staying with my friend Julie in Santa Cruz. Her parents have a lovely house near the beach.
I can see the beach from my window. Every day, we get up at nine o’clock and bike to the store.
We buy milk, bread, and eggs. Then we come home and make breakfast for the family. We all
have different things for breakfast. Julie usually has an egg on toast and a glass of milk. Her
brother Mike has two eggs and bacon and a cup of tea. Julie’s father Tony has cereal, two eggs,
bacon, and two cups of coffee. Her mother Angie has toast and jam, and a cup of coffee. I
usually have cereal with milk and a glass of orange juice. After breakfast, we go to the beach.
At the moment, Tony is reading a magazine and Angie is taking photos. Julie is swimming and
Mike is playing volleyball. I’m sitting under a beach umbrella and writing this postcard to you and
eating ice cream. It’s delicious chocolate ice cream with nuts on it. It’s really YUMMY!!
