Note to recorder:

Not too fast, not too slow. For an intermediate student. Thanks!

In general, people in Spain have very peculiar eating times. In short, they eat later than any other country I know. Lunch is usually at 2 pm and people hardly ever have dinner before 9 pm. Another peculiarity of the Spanish cuisine is that there are lots of fish dishes.
A country I know where the cuisine is very different from the Spanish one is Germany. For example, they don't really eat much fish, and pork is always present. Another feature of German dishes is that the portions are enormous. To be honest, I don't miss German food much.
My diet is very different from that. In fact, I never eat fish or meat. I'm a vegetarian, you see. As a rule, I have cereal with oat milk for breakfast. I normally have a big lunch at midday, because that's the part of the day when I'm really hungry. I sometimes eat ready meals, because I can't be bothered bo cook. I tend to not eat a lot at night. The reason is I think it's not healthy.

I'm asking for other people to record it because the sound quality is not that good, and I want to use this with a student of mine who needs very good quality to concentrate and repeat.

So, anybody wishing to give it a second go, I'll be grateful!
