Explanation

Children around the world are different, but they all eat breakfast and go to school. In Egypt the school week is from Sunday to Thursday. For breakfast many Egyptian children have ful, ta’ameya, eggs or cheese. In Japan many people have rice, fish and soup. In France many people have bread with jam. In America some children have cereal with milk. In many countries children go to school from Monday to Friday. We say: For breakfast I have … . We respect different food and different school days.
