Part 3. Now listen and read what speakers 3 says.

Speaker 3
Well, I eat quite a lot of fast food, probably more than is good for me. I know it's bad, but I work very long hours and commute one hour to and from work, so by the time I get home in the evening, maybe 11 o'clock, I'm just not in the mood for cooking, and it's so much easier just to phone for a pizza, and at work, too, if I'm working late, or even at lunchtime it's so much more convenient to phone up for food or whip downstairs and get a hamburger. So I eat fast food probably two or three times a week, even more.


Part 4. Now listen and read what speakers 4 says.

A photo of a young man with cropped hair and a beard.

Speaker 4
Well, I don't really like fast food, and I don't like eating in places like McDonald's or other hamburger bars, but I've got two kids and usually we go shopping at the weekends and the kids love it of course, so I end up every weekend, I get dragged into McDonald's and end up eating a hamburger and chips, and it's probably more often than I'd want to, but as I say the kids love it, and if the kids are happy, I'm happy.
