Question

    The best thing to start your day is a good breakfast. “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a poor person”, as the old saying goes. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It provides us with energy after a long night without food.

If people don’t have breakfast in the morning, they will feel tired and get angry easily. Breakfast helps children stay focused in school. One study shows that children who keep eating breakfast get higher test results in most subjects. Breakfast is also important for losing weight. If you have a good breakfast, you will eat less throughout the day.

A healthy and balanced breakfast should include some protein like eggs, milk or a little meat. They give you energy. Carbohydrates (碳水化合物) like rice or bread can keep you active. Vegetables and fruit have the vitamins that humans need.

In China, breakfast is different from place to place. However, porridge, baozi, noodles, soybean milk and youtiao are common throughout the whole country. Although Western culture has influenced China a lot, most people still prefer a traditional Chinese breakfast. They think that porridge and noodles are not only easily digested (消化), but can also provide enough energy in the morning.
