    Dear Wang Lin，

    It’S very helpful to know something about the British meals before travellin9．In many English

houses，people eat four meals a day．They are breakfast，lunch，tea and dinner．

    Breakfast takes place at any time from 7：00 t0 9：00 in the mornin9．They usually have eggs，bread with butter，cheese and SO on．English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast．Lunch comes at one o'clock．It can be a hamburger or a three—course(三道菜)meal．Afternoon tea is between 4：00 pm and 5：00 pm．Dinner begins at about half past seven．The first course is soup．The next is often meat or fish with vegetables．Then come fruits of different kinds：apples，pears，bananas and so on．But not all English people eat like that．Some of them have their dinner in the middle ofthe day．Their meals are breakfast，dinner，tea and supper．And all these meals are usually simple．

    Wish you a good time in England!

    Yours，

    Rose
