【一起闲话英语】快餐-Fast Food

 David / Kenya

speaker How often do I eat fast foods? I'm really not a fan of fast food, but when I get a craving¹, I just listen to it and go to either one of the fast food restaurants and shops and get myself a nice burger and fries.

 

Aiste / Lithuania

speaker Not very often. I don't like going to fast food restaurants because I really don't have a very strong digestion² system so therefore if I go to eat fast food, I don't feel very good, so I prefer the food that is better quality than fast food.

 

George / United States

speaker Uh, fast food. Fast food. Since college probably only once a month or less. Again, back in high school it used to be maybe three times a week, but where I live now I can't find a lot of fast food restaurants, so I think that's the reason why I don't eat it so much now.

 

Mike / Singapore

speaker Fast food. One too many, because the bus stop where I take the bus to school and in front of the bus stop there is a burger joint³, so it's very convenient for me to just grab⁴ my lunch from there and sometimes when I'm on my way back home. I'll also get my dinner, but of course it's not healthy and, but then again because it's so convenient, so that't the hard thing. But I'm thinking of cutting down on fast food.

 

Chrystal / United States

speaker Fast food? Every time I crave⁵ for it. There is this really great hamburger joint like right outside my house and I just can't stop eating it. I have to go there maybe at least once a week just to grab those burgers.

 

Diego / Mexico

speaker I eat fast food, I think, only once a week, and it's usually when I don't have time to cook because I'm a very big fan of cooking, so if I eat fast food it'll be on the weekends when it's really late and I don't want to cook.
