I like to eat biscuit for dessert. I live in Srilanka.

I prefer nuts and sometimes ice cream. In my city there are a lot of desserts such as borrachitos, tortas de santa clara and camotes, however I do not eat it.

I like to eat ice cream,chocolate, and cake. In my country, Iran, there are some desserts such as "Palode shirazi", "Halva lari", "Gaz Isfahan","Sohan Qom".

Hi. I prefer eat deserts with less sugar, but sometimes i eat ice cream and cakes.

I can't see the PDF files, why is that??

Hello Ervin88,

There are no .pdf files on this page. Not every page has them, I'm afraid. It is possible that we will add them in the future but we are a small team here at LearnEnglish and creating pdf files is quite a time-intensive task for us.
