Every Sunday, Lucas and his family have a big barbecue in the backyard. His father lights the charcoal to make a hot fire. Lucas helps by carrying a large tray of fresh meat. They put thick pork chops and long sausages on the grill first. The meat makes a loud sizzling sound as it cooks. His mother slices spicy salami and cold ham for an appetizer plate. Everyone sits at the wooden table under a shady tree. The smell of the barbecue fills the whole garden. His sister pours cold lemonade into everyone's glasses. Lucas likes the juicy beef steaks the most. His uncle flips the chicken wings with metal tongs. Soon, all the food is ready and looks delicious. They eat together, laugh, and talk about their week. The family loves spending their Sunday afternoons this way.
