question:
M: Veronique, when you are not studying, what do you like to do? ,F: I like listening to music by French singers. Go into any French music store and you'll find the Top 10 albums by US, German and English artists. It's good to have variety, but I love French music. ,M: Do French teens like fast food, you know, hamburgers, chips and things like those? ,F: Well, we don't really like that. We usually have quick breakfast, sandwiches at lunch and a family dinner at around 8:00 to 8:30 in the evening. The younger teenagers like to eat hamburgers at McDonald's.
(A) M: You only have hamburgers for lunch? That's too simple. (B) M: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (C) M: Oh, you have sandwiches for dinner at around 8:00 pm. (D) M: What? You only have chips for lunch? That's too simple.
