Ok. My favorite meal of the day is breakfast! In Russia we have this saying: «Eat breakfast by yourself, divide your lunch with your friend and give away your dinner to your enemy». So we think a good breakfast is good for your health.

As for me, I usually have cottage cheese with sour cream and sugar for breakfast. Or I can fry some eggs if I can’t find cottage cheese in my fridge. I make them sunny-side up. I like sunny-side up eggs because they’re tasty and easy to cook. Cooking eggs sunny-side up takes about 5 minutes.

Then I drink a cup of herbal tea with sweets. You know, scientists say sweets are very helpful in improving a woman’s mood, but only in the morning. So women don’t forget to eat something sweet in the morning to have a good day!

And now it's your turn to train your writing skills. Don’t be shy to write about your favorite meal of the day in the comments!

P.S. Look at the picture above if you are wondering how sunny-side up egg looks like. As you know, there’re many ways of preparing eggs. If you want to know how to describe all of them in English, listen to the episode «How Would You Like Your Eggs?» by EnglishPod.com.
