SKILL

Every morning, I eat a quite good breakfast. I always have fruit and then have bread and milk. There is a small restaurant nearby and I order soup or a salad for lunch. For dinner, I usually cook some vegetables and meat and eat them with rice. I think my diet is very healthy.__________________________

I work and I go to school, so it’s hard to find time to exercise. There’s a park near my house. I usually walk there for 30 minutes on weekends. Anyway, I don’t exercise a lot.
