Well Pia, thank you for asking a question
about my favourite
, food and meals during the day. The
expressions youve chosen - lunch, supper and dinner, belong to a
larger set which includes words such as breakfast, tea and
. Ill
be talking about those later.
The expressions do relate to the time of day that you eat the and the type of food and the size of the meal. Thats why it can get .
First of all, breakfast. This is simplest; its the first meal of the day in the morning.
In the middle of the day, you might have or dinner. Lunch sounds more or more typical, particularly for people who are working.
In the evening, you might have dinner or . I think that people who have a quick lunch in the middle of the day will say they have dinner in the evening and this dinner will be a good meal.
A supper is usually a light meal and is probably had after a larger dinner has been had in the middle of the day.
Confused? Well most people see a as a more complete meal. A common lunch in England is a sandwich, but dinner might include soup, meat with , and then a dessert like apple pie and ice cream. So, dinner is really the main meal and people might have it in the middle of the day or in the evening. Lunch and supper are both light kinds of meal. Lunch is in the middle of the day, supper is in the evening.
Now I mentioned there are some other meals. We talked about breakfast. Two more words that you could add to your list are and tea. Brunch is a mixture of breakfast and lunch, as you can tell by the sound of the word: brunch. And people usually have brunch as a for both lunch and breakfast. Brunch is usually had at about 11 oclock.
And the final word is tea. Now of course this is a drink, like tea and coffee, but it can also be a light evening meal. I think this word is often used in families, particularly with their children. "Its tea time", "Its time for tea!" This means their small evening meal.
To finish, it is of course to have breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, tea and supper all in one day. But let me tell you, not impossible. And from that comment youll understand that I have the ideal physique and dietary habits for radio and the internet and not for TV.
