Presentation and General Instructions about the use of this blog, our blog.
I have designed this blog as a means of communication between you and me.
Some of the entries are just for you to read, have more information or simply enjoy some videos, etc...........
Other entries contain the word YOUR TASK and those are for you to do on Google Docs and send them to me: this is my gmail account junquerabeatriz037@gmail.com.
You will get a mark for that, being part of the formative evaluation, that is, 20% of the total mark.
The tasks must be sent on time, that is, before the end of each unit and you can also insert images, videos, anything that you consider suitable.
I hope you will take advantage of a tool that allows you to use your English in a different way.
I am waiting for your comments!
Thank you.

Unit 1: Breakfast: the most important meal of the day.
The name breakfast comes from two words- break and fast. During the night, we fast, so the first meal of the day breaks the fast. Modern breakfast cereals have replaced many of the traditional breakfast foods. A traditional British breakfast might include cooked cereal, fried bacon and eggs or sausages, toast and marmalade. In Scotland, cooked oatmeal, known as porridge, is still a popular breakfast food, traditionally served with salt rather than sugar.
Lunch is the meal served in the middle of the day across Britain. During the week, it tends to be a light meal, but sometimes at the weekend, families enjoy a big meal at lunchtime.
Supper is the evening meal. However, if it is a full meal with several courses, or a formal meal, it is referrred to as dinner.
In working-class areas, and in many parts of Scotland, there is a tradition known as high tea. It is served early in the evening and often includes cooked food of some sort.
In Britain, it is traditional to have afternoon tea around four o'clock in the afternoon. It usually consists of tea with biscuits or cake.
In recent years, a meal called brunch has become popular, often as a form of entertainment at the weekend. It's a cross between a large breakfast and a light lunch.
