If you stay with a French family, you’ll notice that children usually have dinner every evening with their parents. Except for the goûter, they don’t eat between meals. The family will most likely have dinner in the dining room. Some families might watch the 8 o’clock news together while eating dinner around the dinner table.
Boys and girls help with grocery shopping, meal preparation, cooking, and setting or clearing the table. French teenagers rarely have parties at home; they meet their friends at a café or a theatre. They usually go out on Wednesday afternoons, since school ends early, and on Saturday nights. Sunday is often spent with the family.
Do you always have lunch or dinner with your family? • Do American students usually go out on Wednesdays and Saturday nights?
