Read the text, then answer: « Sunday lunch at Grandpa Hédi’s »

Every Sunday, Rayen and his sister Yosra visit their grandpa Hédi in Nabeul. Grandpa has a big garden with orange trees. He loves gardening, and he never eats sweets.

Today, Rayen has a stomachache. He often eats crisps and doughnuts after school. Grandpa says, “You shouldn’t eat so many doughnuts. You should eat fruit and vegetables.”

Grandpa cooks a healthy lunch: fish, rice and a big salad with tomatoes and peppers. Yosra helps him in the kitchen. “How much oil do you need?” she asks. “Only a little,” says Grandpa. “And how many eggs?” “Two eggs for the salad.” For dessert, they eat yoghurt and oranges from the garden.

After lunch, they don’t watch TV. They walk to the beach together. “We must move every day to stay fit,” says Grandpa.

A model text to compare with (after writing mine)

On Sunday, I always try to have a healthy day. First, I have breakfast with my family: milk, bread, olive oil and an egg. Then I play basketball with my cousins in the park. For lunch, my mum cooks fish, vegetables and rice. I drink lots of water because it is good for me. In the afternoon, I sometimes ride my bike. In the evening, I eat soup and a yoghurt. I mustn’t eat sweets before bed, so I brush my teeth and sleep early.

One good example among many: compare, don’t copy.
