纯正英语一分钟-Eggs

Eggs are great. Where would we be without them? They are so useful. I can’t imagine life or cooking without them. There are many ways of cooking eggs for breakfast – fried eggs, scrambled¹ eggs, boiled eggs, etc. There are even many ways of “cooking” these. You can have a runny or hard fried egg or even have it sunny side up. You can have soft or hard-boiled eggs and fluffy² scrambled eggs. There are also many things to put on top of eggs – mayonnaise, ketchup³, salt, soy sauce. Each country has something different. I like cooking with eggs. I particularly like breaking them. I can now do it with one hand, without breaking the yolk⁴. Sometimes it gets messy and the egg white starts dripping down your arm.
