First Term English Test (4AM)

We all need food and we can’t live without it because it gives us energy and keeps us fine and
strong. But, where does our food come from ? There are two basic kinds of food. One comes
from animals and the other from plants. Meat comes from animals. We get mutton from sheep,
beef from cows and chicken from hens. Fish is meat, too. We also get other products
from animals such as : eggs from hens and ducks, honey from bees, milk from cows, and from
milk people get butter and cheese. From plants, we get fruit, vegetables and cereals. A lot of
fruit grow on trees such as oranges. Some kinds of vegetables grow under the ground ;the
potato is an example. Cereals give us food, too. Millions of people in the world eat
rice and make flour or semolina from wheat. But you must buy good food
for a healthy life. Do you eat the right food ?
