Lives of children are not the same around the world. Children in rich countries like Germany live differently from children in poor countries like Sierra Leone in Africa.
A good German breakfast consists of rolls, jam, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, cold meat and milk. Lunch is the main meal of the day and it is the heaviest! Dinner is thought to be a lighter meal than lunch.
German children start their education at a young age. Subjects are taught in German but children also study English as their second language. In addition, many German children study a third language such as French.
In Germany, cycling and swimming are popular activities among children. Families also like to go for walks in the forest in warmer seasons. In winter, they often go skiing or take a holiday in a country with warmer weather.

She was still tall and beautiful, with wavy blonde hair and bright green eyes. I smiled and thought of how my life had changed since we had last met.
It all started when I noticed her at a party in a friend’s house. I followed her to the dining-room and started talking to her about the food. ―You seem
very interested in food,‖ she laughed. ―Well, I’m a great cook,‖ I told her. It was a lie, but I had to find an excuse to see her again. ―Why don’t I cook you dinner sometime?‖
Two days later, Jane came to my house. However, the dinner party was very embarrassing (尴尬的). I ordered food from a nearby restaurant, but I told her that I had cooked it.
