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.

W: Right. Like the Spicy 2 Chicken Sandwich and Seafood 3 Soup that they sell in China. They could never sell that here!

M: But I’ve heard that McDonald’s is really losing market share in the States now, and has closed down some restaurants.

W: Yeah. It’s just so difficult to stay competitive 4 when there so many fast food chains in the States. I mean there are KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W, just to name a few.

M: It seems that they’re doing better overseas,’ cause they’re really able to sell American culture.

W: Yeah. They use all the media they can, and they do a good job.
