Situation:� Tom is from the United States.� He is talking to Ana, her Costa Rican
friend.
�
Tom:�� What
do you usually have for breakfast?
Ana:�� Sometimes,
I eat �gallo pinto� with eggs.�
Sometimes, I have tortillas with sour cream, or I eat
bread and butter with cheese.� I seldom
eat cereal.� I always drink coffee,
too.� What about you?
Tom:�� Well,
here in Costa Rica, I eat �gallo pinto�, eggs, and tortillas.� I drink coffee, too.� But at home I don�t eat as much as here in Costa Rica, I usually have cereal,
pancakes or fried bacon with eggs.� I
drink orange juice or milk.
Ana:�� Really?� Is it true that people in your country
don�t eat much for lunch?
Tom:�� Yes.� We usually eat a sandwich, a hamburger, a
piece of pizza or a salad.�� Lunch is a
light meal for us almost every day.�
But here, I love �casados� with meat and� one or more kind of picadillos.
Ana:�� Great!� I�m glad you like our food.��������
