Fast Food Restaurants



Today, we are going to talk about fast food restaurants.

Fast-food restaurants are in almost every country of the world now. We can see their brightly coloured shopfronts in every shopping area or mall.

But what is fast food exactly? And how to order it?
In this lesson you will learn vocabulary and phrases related to fast food restaurants, practice ordering food, and improve your reading skills.


Fast food is a term used to describe food that is:
  • served quickly
  • convenient to find
  • relatively cheap
  • simple food
  • found in most towns and cities of the world
  • a recognizable brand

Discussion Questions:

  • What fast food restaurants do you know?
  • What do people usually eat at fast food restaurants?
  • Do you think fast food is good or bad? Why? 

Food and Drinks
These are the main kinds of food you can find in fast-food restaurants.

Fast Food Menu  


Fast food menus are bright and colourful.
You can see the menu displayed on a large board behind the servers at the counter. The board is brightly lit to draw customers’ attention to it.

All the meals have clear and beautiful pictures and prices next to each item.
There are also handheld menus which are also very colourful and full of pictures.
You can also see the menu on the fast-food restaurant app or website.
Fast food menus are different from other restaurant menus in that every meal and food item has a photograph and the prices are very clearly shown throughout.


And all the meals in fast-food restaurants have numbers attached to them.
So when you order your food, you can just say: Can I have a number one, please? And the server knows exactly what you want.
This is done for convenience and speed. The customer receives their food quickly. Then they can eat quickly and leave.

Main Fast Food Vocabulary 

Look at the picture below and make sure you know all the words connected with fast food restaurants

What is a combo?
Fast food often comes in a combo (short for combination) that includes at least two different items together at a cheaper price than what they would be individually. Usually, one of them is something to drink like a milkshake or a fizzy drink / soda.

Eat-In/To Eat Here
This means that you wish to eat the food you buy on the premises. There are tables and chairs in the fast-food restaurant and you can sit wherever you wish to eat your food.

Take Out/Take-Away/To Go/Carry Out
These are just different ways to express that the customer buys the food and takes it outside of the fast-food restaurant. You may eat the meal at home, in your car or just sit outside in a park somewhere. If you want to do this, you need to tell the server.

What is the difference between takeout and takeaway?
Takeout is the more commonly used term in 🇺🇸 American English, while takeaway is more commonly used in 🇬🇧 British English. However, both terms are understood and used in both countries.

Drive Through/Thru
In an attempt to make fast food even faster, companies introduced the idea of the drive-through. The customer drives into a special lane next to the restaurant. Then you order your food by speaking into a machine. The server communicates with you via the machines and takes your order. Then you drive to a window to pay and collect your food.
The word ‘THRU’ is a non-standard Americanised spelling of through.

Вивчаємо англійську із задоволенням: 
улюблені відео як потужний інструмент!

Одним із найефективніших і найприємніших способів вивчити англійську мову є перегляд відео в оригіналі зі своїми кумирами. Це не лише захоплюючий процес, а й потужний метод поглиблення знань:

Автентична вимова – слухаючи улюблених акторів, блогерів чи музикантів, можна вловити тонкощі вимови та інтонації.
Живі фрази та лексика – знайомство з природним мовленням допомагає запам’ятовувати нові вирази у реальному контексті.
Емоційне сприйняття – коли тема цікава, навчання стає легким і невимушеним.

Щоб зробити процес ще продуктивнішим, рекомендую:
🔹 Виписувати незнайомі слова та фрази
🔹 Повторювати репліки за героями
🔹 Використовувати субтитри для перевірки розуміння


Ось відео, в якому ❤️ Том Круз дає мудрі поради тим, хто бореться зі страхами та працює над досягненням своїх цілей.

In this video ❤️ Tom Cruise offers wise words of advice to those struggling with facing their fears and working towards their goals. 


- Don't be so worried if you're afraid. It's like, 'okay, I feel it'. It's like, 'that's fine'. 

- And it's honestly admirable how you do such scary things. What advice would you give to people who find it hard to do something brave? 
- Here's the thing. You just have to write down your dream and then write down a list of how do you accomplish that. What do I need to do? What do I need to learn to be able to accomplish those goals? And that's what I do. I don't just sit there and worry about it. I just start doing it. And don't be so worried if you're afraid. It's like, 'okay, I feel it'. It's like, 'that's fine'. Just keep working through it. Really, the fear you feel is the unknown. It's what you don't know. And just kind of recognize that. That it's okay not to know. And work towards a knowingness of things. And the only way to do it is not to be in your head on it, but just to start looking, go out, and start doing it. One step at a time. When I'm training people or I'm training myself, I'm always thinking I'm going to learn how to crawl before I walk, walk before I jog, jog before I run, run before I sprint, and then I sprint out of a plane or off a cliff before I do that. So that's what I do. Look at this. How do you do that? 

Якщо потрібно, то ось переклад: 

- Не хвилюйся так сильно, якщо тобі страшно. Це як: «Добре, я відчуваю це». Це як: «Все гаразд».

- І справді вражає, як ти робиш такі сміливі речі. Яку пораду ти б дав людям, яким важко зробити щось відважне?
- Ось у чому справа. Тобі просто потрібно записати свою мрію, а потім скласти список того, як її досягти. Що мені потрібно зробити? Що мені потрібно вивчити, щоб реалізувати ці цілі? І саме так я чиню. Я не сиджу й не хвилююся про це. Я просто починаю діяти. І не хвилюйся так сильно, якщо тобі страшно. Це як: «Добре, я відчуваю це». Це як: «Все гаразд». Просто продовжуй рухатися вперед. Насправді страх, який ти відчуваєш, – це страх невідомості. Це те, чого ти ще не знаєш. І просто визнай це. Це нормально — не знати. Працюй над тим, щоб зрозуміти більше. І єдиний спосіб це зробити – не зациклюватися на своїх думках, а почати досліджувати, вийти назовні й почати діяти. Крок за кроком. Коли я треную людей або самого себе, я завжди думаю, що спочатку навчуся повзати, потім ходити, потім бігати підтюпцем, потім бігати швидко, а потім вже стрибну з літака або зі скелі. Ось так я це роблю. Подивись на це. Як ти це робиш?

Обовязково виписуйте корисні словосполучення та практикуйте використовувати їх. 

accomplish goals – досягати цілей
start doing it – почати діяти
work through it – пропрацювати це (подолати труднощі)
fear the unknown – боятися невідомого
recognize that – усвідомити це
work towards something – працювати над чимось (рухатися до чогось)
step by step – крок за кроком
be in your head – зациклюватися на своїх думках
go out and start doing it – вийти назовні й почати діяти
crawl before you walk – навчитися повзати перед тим, як ходити (метафора про поступовий прогрес)
walk before you jog – навчитися ходити перед тим, як бігти підтюпцем
run before you sprint – навчитися бігати перед тим, як спринтувати


Вивчайте мову із задоволенням, і результат вас приємно здивує! 🌟
