Task 2: McDonald’s
W: John, I’m really hungry!
M: Just get anything you want, it’s on me today. I’m thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.
W: Thanks, man. That sounds good. I love milkshakes here.
M: Me, too. The formula 1 of McDonald’s is really special.
W: Right. And no matter where you go in the world, you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald’s.
M: It’s true. They also do well because of diversity. I mean, they sell different products according to people’s tastes and preferences in different areas.
