Hello, All!

In a textbook I was asked to translate a sentence. The correct answer
(given later) is the following:

[I usually have toast with marmalade or porridge on water for breakfast.]

In Russia we, as a rule, speak first about the place or cirumstance.
It is be like this (and I answered in this way):

[For breakfast I usually have toast with marmalade or porridge on water.]

From my point of view it is more indicative, and it begins to cause a
picture in your mind from the first words.

What is more natural for native speakers? Maybe the matter was in the
author of the book? In the Russian variant of the sentence "for
breakfast" was at the beginning.


Bye All!
