My lunch break today

Great job. Keep working hard!

I am not a teacher nor English expert. I'm here because I'm learning Spanish and trying to give back to the community. Actually this is my first correction here.

A couple of points from your notes:

- "and one where you can eat freely and pay one value." [This is called a buffet]

- "Back to the picture, that's this is what I ate today" [Here, it's like you're pointing to the picture next to you, so it is "this" not "that". You use "that" for something far from you but not too far. "That over there" you use for something further away from you.]

Continue practicing. You're very good.

Have a wonderful day!

Kayode.

My lunch break today

This is a picture I took today at my lunch's break on my lunch break.  where I have between one and two hours to spend on I have up to two hours for lunch, but I just use one hour for that, as it's enough time to eat and rest). I usually have lunch at the same restaurant every day despite there being a lot of other ones nearby, but at on Fridays, I go to Subway (yes, not really a smart idea switching real food for a sandwich - I'm not sure what you mean here). even though There are other fast food chains like McDonald's and Burger King (my favorite) also nearby. 

I'd like to tell you a little about how restaurants work in Brazil, well, at least those where I eat. 
Commonly they have to two systems for serving food: "Ao quilo (by kilo)" where you pay for the weight of the food in on the plate and the "self-service" one where you can eat freely and pay one value. I get the "self-service" so I can eat the amount I wanna  want to eat without worrying about the price. The rules for "self-service" can vary from one place to another, but, until now in my life, I've always just gone just went to places where I can eat as much as I want. The restaurant where I go I pay 12BRL (3.55USD) but there, there are other choices of food systems like the system is called "pratos-feito" where (there is one kind of special dish and) they pile the food on the plate of food for you but it is more expensive depending on the dish. 

Back to the picture, that's what I ate today. Rice and beans Brazilian dishes are never short of these/always have these), french fries (I usually get these every for lunch), tomatoes, red pepper, carrot (raw and cooked), corn (I love corn), lettuce and "frango a passarinho" which is a type of fried chicken and (one of my favorites too). 

Well, thanks for taking the time to read my text. I'd appreciate if you could make some corrections as I'm trying to improve the way I explain my thoughts and ideas, to get to know new daily everyday terms and how to explain something in a way I can be better understood. I am used to academic and technicals texts so when it comes to everyday life I'm missing certain expressions.

Thanks a lot again.

I didn't know that about restaurants in Brazil! I'm familiar with 'all you can eat' buffets but I don't ever remember paying by weight in a restaurant.
