I was listening to the podcast when I heard something a bit strange for me. I heard from the podcast that dinner is at 1 o’clock on Sunday. I said “what? Do my ears catch a correct statement?”, I am not a native speaker, and it makes me difficult to understand. Since then, my curiousity is beginning. Now I have got the answer from Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary which quiet simple and essay understanding. So, let move on!

American and British people generally eat three meals a day thoug the name vary according to people’s lifestyle and where they live.

The first meals is breakfast. The traditional full English breakfast served in many British hotels may  include fruit juice, cereal, bacon and eggs, often with sausage and tomatoes, toast and marmable, and tea or coffee.

Lunch, which is eaten many time after midday, is the main meal of the day for some British people , though people out at work may have only sandwhices. Some people also refer to the midday meal as dinner. Most workers are allowed about an hour off work for it , called the lunch hour, and many also go shopping.

The main meal for most people is the evening meal, called supper, tea, and dinner. It is usually a cooked meal  with meat of fish or a salad followed by a sweet course.

People use the words dinner, lunch, supper, and tea in different ways depending on in which English-speaking country they come from. In Britain it may also depend on which part of the country or which social class a person come from.
