My name is Alex. Im 14 years old. I live in one of the most beautiful cities of Russia, in Sochi. My family is quite small. I have got a mother, a father, a younger brother and a cat. My mum is usually responsible for cooking and for buying necessary food. She prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner for all of us. Sometimes my father also cooks. It usually happens at weekends. Both of my parents are good cooks, which is why we prefer eating home-made food. However, sometimes we can also eat out. My father reserves a table in some restaurant or cafe and we spend a great evening together. It usually happens on special occasions. My favourite food is pizza. I like all kinds of pizza and other Italian dishes. For my birthday, my parents always try to arrange a pizza party. There are times when we simply order pizza for lunch or dinner, just because there is no time for cooking. Out of my mum’s home cooking I prefer Ukrainian borscht. It’s a special red cabbage soup, which is tastier to eat with sour cream. Borscht is a traditional Russian and Ukrainian dish and many foreigners want to try it when visiting these countries. In general, I can say that I am a good eater. I like many types of food, among them fruit, vegetables, sweets and cakes, etc. However, there are some products which I don’t like eating. They are mushrooms and fish. My mother knows about it and she tries not to use these products in dishes.

DOS AND DONTS FOR SHOPPERS
DO go to markets early in the morning for the freshest fruit and vegetables. Ask to taste
things before you buy.
DO look on the lower and higher shelves in supermarkets. The most expensive brands
are always at eye level.
DO read the label when you buy food. The ingredients are listed in order of quantity
(the largest quantity comes first).
DON’T go shopping for food if you are hungry. Hungry people always buy too much!
DON’T buy everything online. There’s no customer service when things go wrong and
there might be extra costs like taxes and credit card handling charges.
DON’T take the children! If you buy only five percent of everything they ask for, you
will waste lots of money.
