Helen: Maybe they are too busy to have enough time to sit down and enjoy a real meal. Just imagine you are working in an office. You're very busy and the boss is shouting at everyone. At midday, you're given only 15 minutes for lunch. You go down to the street and want to order your food, pay for it, eat it, buy a newspaper, wash your hands, talk to some friends, then get back to your seat. Obviously you can't do all this within the given time. So what do you eat？ Snacks or fast food. Peter: I seldom go to fast food restaurants although many of my friends do. I prefer packing my own lunch box with me every day. I keep it in the Mdge in my office. That's not only saving time, but also saving money.Helen: I think you are living a quality life. Do you eat anything while you are watching TV？
Peter: Mostly I don't. Snacks usually make you thirsty. But if I do,fruit is my favorite, especially apples. Have you heard the saying:An apple a day keeps the doctor away？
Helen: Oh, yes. So in order to keep doctors away, we'd better eat morefruit and vegetables.
Peter: Right. I also prefer food with little fat like rice. I have faith innatural and simple food.
Pat is a writer. He is meeting Sue for the first time in a restaurant.
Sue: What do you write？ Story books？ Plays？
Pat: Just articles for newspapers.
Sue: What are you working on now？
Pat: I've just finished a piece on background music.
Sue: Background music？ Oh, like the music they're playing here in
the restaurant？
Pat: Yes. You hear it everywhere ... in restaurants, airports,supermarkets, chain stores and department stores. It's supposed to put you in a good mood.
sue: I'm not sure I like that idea.
