All right guys, today we're going to learn how to go grocery shopping and the English terms for a bunch of different foods that we can use to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

So our first meal of the day is breakfast. First, we're going to get some bread so that we can make some toast.

Now we're going to get some orange juice to drink with our breakfast.

Now we have eggs that we can eat with our toast and our orange juice. You can cook your eggs hard-boiled, soft-boiled, over-easy, fried, anyway you want.

Okay, lastly for our breakfast, we're going to have some bananas so we make sure we have a nutritious breakfast full of lots of fruit, proteins, and bread.

So our second meal of the day is lunch. We are going to have a sandwich with the bread we already got, and now we're going to go get some meat and cheese.

So there's many options you can do for meat and cheese, but my favorite is turkey. So we have our turkey.

Also for cheese, we can choose between cheddar, Colby-jack, or provolone or mozzarella. But I'm going to choose provolone.

Also with lunch, I like to have some vegetables so I got a salad to make with my sandwich to make sure I get all the vegetables for my day.

So for our last meal of the day, we're going to have pasta for dinner.

And with our pasta, we need some sauce as well.

So with our pasta, we're going to have some green beans. So I'm going to get some green beans for us to cook.

All right guys, that's how you go grocery shopping. I hope you learned a bunch of English terms. And now we can make our breakfast, lunch and dinner.
