“Don’t’ live to eat, but eat to live”

(Students comment on the proverbs and give the appropriate Ukrainian equivalents)

It’s common knowledge, that fast food is popular not only in the United States and in the UK, but also around the world. In fact, restaurant chains represent a multi-billion dollars industry. Are you “for” or “against” fast food? I’ll give you 3 minutes. Your task is to take any role you like within your teams: it may be the role of a speaker, a secretary, a time – keeper or an expert.
