My favourite meal is Saturday dinner. I usually have it at home, but sometimes we go to a restaurant. It is usually at around 9 o’clock in the evening and I always have Saturday dinner with my family and some friends.
There is usually lasagne or chicken with rice. I love both, but I prefer lasagne, it is really tasty! There is also a good and healthy salad with many different vegetables. For dessert, there’s fruit salad and ice cream or homemade cake with yogurt, yummy!!
I love Saturday dinner. Everything is delicious!
Third Step: After writing, check:
ü your grammar,
ü word order,
ü spelling,
ü punctuation.
Now, write your own description of your favorite meal, send it to your teacher and when you get it back write an email to your pen pal including your description.
