Do you have a favourite café? [Why/Why not?]
 Yes, I have a favourite café, and it’s Starbucks! ☕️ It’s really close to my house, which is super convenient. Plus, it has a nice view from the window where I can watch people go by. 😊 The baristas there are really friendly and always make my cappuccino just right. It’s a cozy place where I love to relax!

Do you often go to cafés by yourself? [Why/Why not?]
 No, I don’t usually go to cafés by myself. I prefer to go with friends. 👭☕️ It’s more fun that way, and we can chat, laugh, and enjoy our drinks together. Being with friends makes the café experience much better for me!

What do you think helps to make a café very popular? [Why?]
 I think several factors make a café popular. First, the quality of the drinks and food is really important; people love good coffee! ☕️👍 Secondly, great service makes a big difference. If the staff is friendly and helpful, customers will want to come back. Lastly, a good brand name can attract a lot of people because they trust well-known cafés.

Why do some people prefer cafés that are part of large chains, rather than small, local cafés?
 Some people like large chain cafés because they often guarantee a certain level of quality and consistency. 🏷️ People feel they can expect the same tasty drinks and stylish atmosphere no matter where they go. Also, these big chains usually have good marketing, so customers are more aware of them. In contrast, small, local cafés might be less known and vary in quality.
