== People from other countries like Canadians because they are mostly friendly. Canadians have been well known for being peace keepers and serving in many wars. Canada is home to not only English speaking people but is called home by people from places around the globe, such as Europe, Asia, Australia and Mexico. When people come to live in Canada, they can tell that they are welcome, but Canada isn't any different from any other country, they live mostly the same lives even though the events may be different. One of the many things that people like Canadians for is that they help other countries in distress, and some even give their own lives. To tell the truth, most Canadians are not looking for rewards when they go to help, the just want to show others that they are Canadian and they are proud of it. ==

<span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"> In this task we will be talking about what people in canada eat. We will be talking about what we eat on special occasions, what we eat on days when we are rushed, and what we eat on a regular day. = = <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"> A regular dinner would depend on what type of day it is for the family. One of a dinner ideas if you had to go to a soccer game or a hockey game then you would have just a small quick meal like pizza or hamburgers and hotdogs. If you were a person that did not play sports and your parents were home then you could have something like spaghetti and meatballs. Most of the regular dinner meals would be steak, chicken, pizza, seafood, lasagna, tacos and lots of other yummy meals. A regular lunch at school is almost the same as supper. Our cafeteria has a schedule for when they give meals. But on every Tuesday and Thursday they have pizza but on Thursday they have this gross pepperoni that nobody really likes. The cafeteria ladies have about two different options of specials. If you don’t like the things that they are having then they have different types of sandwiches or salads that you can buy. They also have some snacks such as rice crispy squares, cookies, chips, jello, muffins and lots of other healthy treats. You can also get white milk, chocolate milk and three types of different juices. Most holiday meals involve the same foods. Usually people have turkey, chicken or another type of meat. Most of the time people have dressing with turkey. Cooked vegetables are also a part of the holiday meal tradition. Also people eat potatoes with every holiday meal. That is the kinds of things that we like to eat. We like to eat lots of meat and lots of vegetables.
