  1. There are a lot of differences between the USA and France, especially the food. So, I'm going to talk about the breakfast in France !

    To begin with, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, many people, especially students, don't eat for breakfast ! To my mind, I always eat for breakfast for this reason but I don't eat very much.
    When I have school, during the week, I always eat cereals and natural yoghurt because it's easy and very quick to eat and it's so delicious when I mix these two ingredients ( you can try my method, if you want) !
    Then, during holiday or week-ends when I have more time, I eat a kind of crackers with butter and jam.
    With that, I always drink the same thing : tea and orange juice !

    Finally, my breakfast depends on my time and my mood ! What about you ?

      '' In my mind, I think it is important to have breakfast and I always have one even though I do not have a big breakfast''.

  2. Hi Americans!
    I'm going to tell you about our way to have breakfast in France and what I drink/eat at breakfast.

    First of all, many French don't eat at breakfast or if they do, they drink only a cup of coffee with a slice of bread. In spite of all, there are some French people who pay attention for their breakfast.

    For my part, I always eat very well in the morning. It's a good habit I think. So what I eat and drink?
    To begin, I eat scrambled eggs about twice a week. Then I add a slice of bread with or without jam, it depends.And finally, I drink a cup of green tea and a glass of milk or a yoghurt. I can say that when I ate this way, I have energy to go to school and to be active. So, I can't leave home without eating and drinking, it's very important for me.

    1. Chere Laura, tres bon commentaires. Juste quelques remarques:
      ''what do I eat and drink?'' vous avez besoin de l'auxiliare Do.
      ''when I eat this way'' vous devez utiliser le present pas le passé.
      une expression que les americains utilisent beaucoup: ''I cannot leave home with an empty stomach '' .

  4. Hi American students, thank you for replying to our comments!

    First of all, when I was younger, I used to leave home with an empty stomach. But since few months I decided to have a breakfast every day because it's very important for teenagers like us. So, what do I eat or drink in the morning? And what are French's habits for breakfast?

    So, I think that there are plenty differences between English or American's Breakfast and French's. In France, many of students don't eat a breakfast because they have no time or they aren't hungry. When they do have breakfast they mostly eat just a hot beverage and slices of bread with jam or butter.
    Although I used to skip breakfast, I decided 3 months ago to have breakfast every day for my health. When I have breakfast, I drink a hot beverage like tea or coffee, and like Laura I also eat scrambled eggs. When I have more time I can add a slice of bread with jam and a yoghurt with slices of banana.

    To conclude, now, I think breakfast is the most important mealtime of the day.

  5. Hey Americans .
    I'm writting to tell you what I eat at breakfast , but their is 2 years ago I didn't eat the morning because my parents haven't this habit...
    Now , I don't eat a lot but I cannot leave home with an empty stomach . So , I eat just a fruit like orange , apple or two kiwi. And for didn't eat always the same foods I eat a slice of bread or during the weekend a hot chocolate. I am very careful about my weight . In my opinion to the person who have habit to eat at breakfast must eat equilibrate but the other can eat less , like me .
    Also when I went to London ( 3 years ago ) I had eat a ful english breakfast and it was delicious and more protein , but the noon I had anyway hungry.

    Hello Americans!
    This question is a good subject because we can learn about your habits and you can learn about ours.
    First of all, as everyone said, I think it's important to point out that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because I know that a lot people, including me, aren't hungry in the morning so they don't eat.. But that's the worst thing to do!
    The French breakfast is usually bread, with jam or butter, or croissant; an orange juice and sometimes a fruit. That's quite balanced.
    However, in the morning, when I have time or when I'm just hungry, I eat bread with nutella, orange juice and a fruit. Sometimes I also eat cereals because it's good too! But the better thing is American breakfast.. I love it!
    So don't forget that it's important to eat in the morning! And that each breakfast is good.

    1. Hi Megan! I'm going to correct your little mistakes :
      You have to say "Le week-end..." but not with "Sur".
      Secondly, you cannot say "dans les Etats-Unis" but "AU Etats-Unis".
      Except this your French is very good!

  9. Hi eveybody !

    Breakfast is important for health, especially for young people who have to grow up. I'm going to talk about my breakfast !

    First of all, I can't leave home with an empty stomach or I feel really tired. Having a good breakfast helps me to wake up !
    - During school days, I generally eat cereals because it's fast. I wake up early so breakfast can't take hours ! With this, I drink milk.
    On week-ends, I eat bread with Nutella, croissants or similar products.
    I sometimes eat a piece of cake or a crepe when I prepare some.
    I also take a cold chocolate because I don't like hot drinks.

    To my mind, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives energy to begin a hard day !
    I can't tell if I prefer American or French breakfast. American food is very salty wheter I prefer sweet food for breakfast. But I think it's just a cultural habit.

  10. Hi Americans !
    There are a lot of differences between a breakfast in the USA and in France.

    Indeed, a lot of French people don't eat enough in the morning , like me ! I don't really have time to eat when I go to school because I often oversleep, so I only drink a cup of hot chocolate. However, on week-ends, I eat with my parents and my sister, so, we eat much more : bread with butter and jam, cookies, orange juice,...
    I went to America once and I can say that I ate very well in the morning ! But if you come to France, you will taste the famous specialities like the "croissants".

    That was my breakfast's habits, so what about yours ?

  13. il ya beaucoup de différences avec petit-déjeuner français et petit-déjeuner américain. beaucoup de gens n'ont pas à manger. aussi les Français prennent le petit déjeuner plus sérieux quand la plupart des Américains ne mangent pas. Je mange une tarte à la pop et du thé glacé dans la matinée. c'est une combinaison bizarre. c'est ce que je mange pour le petit déjeuner car il n'y a pas le temps le matin.

  14. Kathleen : Mon repas favoris est le petit dejeuner
    Le café avec le lait = café au lait

    Michael : SINON c'est difficile de me concentrer . Aussi je prends le petit dejeuner CAR il me donne de l'energie.

    Faithe : Avec LE petit dejeuner francais et Le petit dejeuner americain.
    Beaucoup de gens NE MANGENT PAS . Les Francais prennent leur petit dejeuner regulierement . What is mean POP ? Maybe , did you want to say pomme ? ( apple ) . Car je n'ai pas le temps le matin.

    Your comments are so interesting , thank's for share your habits

  19. Hello americans, i'm going to try to correct your mistakes so,
    MEGAN: We would say "Au petit déjeuner je prends des céréales, des oeufs et je bois surtout du jus d'orange" instead of "Pour le petit dejeuner, Je prends des cereales, des oeufs, et le jus d'orange, surtout."
    ALYSSA: "Pendant la semaine (...) Mon aliment préféré est le yaourt à la fraise (...) Je mange rarement des céréales."
    AARON: "Durant la semaine, au petit déjeuner je mange des céréales. Le week-end je mange des oeufs et du saucisson. Je bois aussi du jus d'orange"
    CARA: "(...) Je mange aussi des oeufs avec du pain"

  22. Hello Megan. I am going to correct you: You've forgotten'' au'' in front of ''petit dejeuner'' so : '' au petit déjeuner''.
    ''les temps '' is wrong it's ''le temps''.
    Je n'aime pas manger and not ''mange'' and it's not ''en le matin '' but ''le matin''.
    Say pour ''le'' petit déjeuner '' pendant'' le weekend . Je bois ''du'' jus d'orange ou''du '' jus de pomme.
    Hope it helps you :)

  31. Hi! Hum I must admit that I don't have breakfast every single day but there are many reasons : on weekends, I often oversleep so when I wake up, it's nearly time to have lunch ! So it's not neccessary anymore to have breakfast, I think. And, it happens that during the week, I wake up too late or I take to much time to prepare my stuff (even I've tried to prepare them the day before), so I don't have enough time to have breakfast. But I'm very carreful the days I have PE on eight, I always take the time to have breakfast, unluckily I'm already passed out because of my empty stomach!
    So, usually (when I have time) I have a yoghurt, a cookie or a piece of cake, and always a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice.

  32. First of all eat in the morning is essential to have the energy throughout the day.But eating in the morning helps to better wake up and it’s useful for not die of hunger until the meal.
    First there are lots of difference between Americans and French but the breakfast is one of the most Particular differences such as the kind of food. I think Americans eat egg with bacon, pancake or baked beans by contrast French peoples eat cereals, pastries or even bread. I eat a breakfast every day for have energy and it’s essential for have a nice day, and without my breakfast I can’t stay up and in the breakfast I drink a coffee for the energy, cereals and chocolate bread .
    To conclude the American breakfast is saltier than the French breakfast
