    Summarize (Exercise B) (page 69)

    1. Compared to Americans, the French stay slim because they are serious
    about the food. They dont buy canned or frozen food, and much less, fast
    food.

    2. I think the Americans have a tiring lifestyle, therefore, they don't spend time
    on the meals. In contrast to Americans, the French enjoy the good food and
    spend much time at the table.

    3. While the French prefer to walk to small shops and farmers' market, the
    Americans prefer to drive their cars to the huge supermarkets.

    4. The French tend to stop when they are satisfied. The Americans tend to stop
    when they "clean their plates".
