Media

I like listening to the radio. I listen to RTL.lu every day in the car on the way to Op
the work. At 8 o'clock there is the news and then the program "The guest of
the editor". I listen to the radio for local news
to inform
In the evening I also like to read a book in bed. I prefer to read exciting novels.
I buy the books on the Internet, that's easy. Mostly I read in English and in French.

I don't read paper newspapers, but I always read the newspaper on the Internet. I also have a
subscription to a magazine. I like to read about health,
History and international politics.

Of course, I like to surf the Internet, mostly to buy things or for myself
to inform I book all my vacations online. However, I am not very active on social networks
because I don't have time.
I don't like Skype, so I prefer to phone.
I mainly use my mobile phone to keep in touch with friends and my family
stay - either via "What's app" or "Viber". I take pictures, write text messages and check the
weather on my mobile phone. And I also use my cell phone to play.
I don't watch a lot of TV. Most of the weekend I watch a movie with the kids
or a documentary about nature or a series on Netflix. I prefer to go to the
Cinema.

Doing the household

I work as an accountant at home. I work half days and that's why I have time

to do most of the housework. I thoroughly clean the house once a week, usually on Monday mornings. I'll clean the

windows then, clean you

Wet the floor, clean the children's rooms, make the entrance clean and
do the laundry.

My 2 children are still small and make quite a lot of noise while eating. That's why I clean the kitchen every day

and also vacuum the dining room. We have one

Dishwasher, that's practical. That way I don't need to rinse. I regularly cook lunch and my partner always

prepares dinner. With us,

the children set the table. They like to do that. My partner always helps me too
to empty the bin.

On Fridays after work we go shopping together. We only go once a week


Make commissions.

Unfortunately, I have to stretch 2 to 3 times a week. I don't like doing that at all. That's boring. Fortunately, my partner

irons his shirts and boxers himself.


He also hangs and puts away the clothes in the cupboard.

Vocabulary

do the household = the housework = the household

sweep the kitchen, mop the floor,

doing/hanging up the laundry, setting the table, emptying the dishwasher, making the bed, preparing or cooking food

My shopping habits

I work from Monday to Friday. Then I don't have time for commissions

to do. I always go shopping in the supermarket on Saturday mornings. Then I have time. Unfortunately, there are

a lot of people there and I often have to wait a long time at the checkout. That

is a bit stressful. In the supermarket I find everything I need: everything to eat, drinks, dairy products, laundry

and cleaning products. There is also one

Bakery and a butcher shop. That's practical.

I also regularly go to the organic shop to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. When

I have leave, I also go to the market. There I can buy good cheese, fresh eggs and flowers. That's fun for me.

I buy my furniture either at the station - there is a nice and modern furniture store there - or I order my

furniture on the Internet.

I never go to town to buy clothes. It is quite expensive. But I go to Solden twice a year. Then I can do

good business.

Most of the time I go with a friend to Germany or France to buy clothes and shoes. It's usually cheaper there.

Of course, I also buy a lot of things on the Internet, for example: sports clothes, books, mobile phone accessories,

furniture and also gifts, etc.

Vocabulary

go shopping, run errands, go shopping at the supermarket, buy clothes


a shop = a business

Clothing store, organic store, shoe store, newspaper store, market, furniture store,

Bakery, butcher, sports shop, go to the sale,

do good deals, buy gifts

means of transport

I work as a photographer in a company in the city. I also live in the city


that's why I mostly use the bike to go to work. This is practical and cheap. If the weather is
bad, I take the bus. This is also practical, but
a ticket is relatively expensive and it takes me longer to get to the office. I also sometimes
have to go abroad for my work, for example to Paris,
Zurich and London. I use the plane to go to London and Zurich. But I always take the train to
Paris. With the TGV I get directly to the center and that
is practical. But the TGV is expensive.
I use the car on weekends to go shopping and for trips abroad
to do with my family. We regularly go to Metz on Saturdays. Metz is a beautiful city and it is
easy to find a parking space. Unfortunately, sometimes it is a lot
Traffic on the highway and then we are stuck in a traffic jam for a long time. That's annoying.

I am happy that we can now use the tram here in Luxembourg. I find that
better than the bus.
I have three children and a dog, so we always go on holiday by car.

Vocabulary

Car, bicycle, train, bus, plane, tram, motorcycle, ship

a parking space = a parking lot

My vacation

sea or in the countryside, for example in Provence.

On vacation, we always drink coffee together in the morning. I go to the bakery fresh

Buy baguettes and croissants. After that we often go to visit a city or we leave
the market to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Sometimes we just stay in the house

to relax and the children can play in the swimming pool.


At noon we like to eat a local specialty in a typical restaurant.

If the weather is good, we go to the beach in the afternoon and stay there all afternoon. Children love to
play in the sand and in the water. I like to read on the beach

and also like to go swimming. My husband plays a lot with the children and also rests.
During the holidays we usually grill in the evening. That makes us a lot of fun. Nom

Eating habits in Luxembourg

The three main meals in Luxembourg are: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What do Luxembourgers eat in the morning with coffee?


In the morning, many Luxembourgers eat a spread with butter, jam, honey, cheese or
ham. Some people also eat snacks, for example: a croissant, a chocolate roll, a figure of
eight...etc. Other people prefer to eat fruit and muesli or yogurt. To drink there is coffee, tea,
chocolate milk, juice or
water.

What does Tania eat for breakfast:

I have been living in Luxembourg for 3 years, but I come from Germany. Coffee is very
important to me. I usually eat bread with white cheese and honey or jam. I drink a cup of
coffee with milk. On the weekend I often eat scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs with sausage

Ham.

What do Luxembourgers eat for lunch?


Luxembourgers traditionally eat a hot lunch between 12 and 1 am. Sometimes there is a
soup as an entree. The main course is usually meat or fish with potatoes and vegetables.
There is often a small salad.
Some people eat a dessert afterwards, for example a piece of cake and drink a cup of
coffee.

What does Henri eat for lunch:

I have an hour lunch break. I usually go to the canteen with some colleagues to eat. The
food tastes really good there. We can choose between meat, fish and Italian specialties.
There is also a large buffet with different salads every day. For dessert I often have a
chocolate dessert. It tastes especially good to me. Sometimes I just have a fruit salad.

What do Luxembourgers eat at night?


In the evening there is a light meal, usually bread with cheese and charcuterie. They also drink
water, beer or a cup of coffee.
However, many people these days don't have much time at lunch and just eat a sandwich.
Those people then eat hot in the evening.

What does Markus eat at night:

I get home around 19:00. Then I eat with my family right away. In the evening, we always
have schmieren (various types of bread) with butter, cheese, charcuterie. The children are
also sometimes allowed to put chocolate butter on the smear. In the winter we also like to
eat a warm soup.
We drink water or tea and I also like to drink a beer.
