I think it is very silly (傻的) to eat too much. I try to watch my weight (小心体重). Of course, I like a small breakfast. I usually start with a glass of orange juice. Then I have one or two pieces of toast with jelly(果冻) and a cup of hot chocolate. After that, I have one or two eggs, some bacon(腊肉) and sausages(香肠). I always have a cup of tea with milk and sugar. Sometimes I have cornflakes(玉米片) with a banana on top. I usually finish my breakfast with a cup of black coffee. If I’m still a little hungry, I often have pancakes(烙饼) with butter and syrup(糖浆). I have a good breakfast every morning.

    That’s all I eat. I never eat lunch, and I never have dinner. If I have dinner, I can’t

sleep. It’s silly to overeat(吃得太多)!
