This ad from MacDonald's is different, to say the least.
Self-study activity:
Play the ad with the sound off and describe the people having a meal at the MacDonald's restaurant. You can stop the video at different stages so that you can have enough time to describe what you can see.
Now play the video with the sound on. What's funny about it?
... Yes, you may never have thought that MacDonald's could have such a poetic soul. Now, if you wish, you can replay the video while reading the lines of the poem here. There are some difficult vocabulary in the poem, so this is the time to look words up.
Finally, you can practise reading the poem aloud in sync with the ad first and then with the sound off.
Self-study activity:
Get together with an English-speaking friend and discuss your MacDonald's experiences: How often do you go to MacDonald's? What different menus can you have at a MacDonald's? When did you last go to MacDonald's? Why do you like/dislike MacDonald's? Why is it so popular? What's the stereotype of the MacDonald's customer?
This activity is based on a video you can find on The English Blog.
