"Hi friends! My name is Celine and I'm 14 years old. I need your heeeeelp! Ok, let's me tell you about that.
I am from Madrid, Spain, but now I am living in London. Why? Because my parents are working here and they are very happy with their new jobs, so I have to be positive and adapt myself to my new way of life. I am in a new school, too. Its name is "James Arthur College".
I start my classes very early in the morning, at 7 o'clock and before going school I should have breakfast like all English people but... I like having breakfast later! When I wake up and arrive to school I am not hungry but... at half past 11 I need food in my stomach! So, at this moment, I feel myself exhausted. The problem is that at this time English people is starting to have lunch!.. and Celine knows that it is so important to have breakfast but also to have lunch, both of them at the same level.
I've told this to my teacher and she tells me something about BRUNCH, the best solution to my problem! However, I don't know anything about it.
So... Can you help me, please? Please! I need to know everything about that strange thing, BRUNCH."
