Reading: Vegetarian or Meat eater?
Listen, read and answer the question
• I´m a vegetarian, so I don´t eat meat of
fish. I eat dairy products and eggs, and
of course I love all kinds of vegetables,
especially tomatoes. I have some
tomato plants in my garden. For a
snack, I usually have an egg sandwich
and some tomato juice. It´s delicious. I
don´t eat fruit very often and I can´t
stand strawberries or bananas.
.
• I love meat and I eat some every day!
My favorite is beef and I usually have a
steak with some rice. I don´t like
vegetables very much, but I try to have
a salad with every meal, because
vegetables are good for you. I love all
kinds of fruit and fruit juices. My
favorite is apple and strawberry.
However, I hate one thing and that´s
eggs! I can´t eat them.
