McDonald's sales drop as diners face 'uncertainty'
McDonald's has suffered its biggest drop in US sales since the height of Covid, a fall that it said was driven by people's concerns over the US economy.
Despite a marketing tie-in with the Minecraft movie and extended price deals, US customers made fewer visits to the burger chain in the first three months of this year, compared to a year ago.
Chief executive Chris Kempczinski said customers were "grappling with uncertainty".
But he assured investors that the firm could "navigate even the toughest of market conditions".
McDonald's has been working for months to try to reignite enthusiasm among customers, after facing a backlash over rising prices, especially from lower income households.
However, revenue at US McDonald's outlets that have been open at least a year sank 3.6% in the first three months of 2025 compared to a year earlier.
That is the steepest decline in like-for-like sales in the US since the three months to the end of June 2020 when pandemic restrictions were in place.
The surprise drop in sales coincided with a contraction in the US economy, which shrank at an annual rate of 0.3% in the first three months of 2025, the first quarterly decline in output since 2022.
Reacting to the growth figures, President Trump called for patience, saying he needed "a little bit of time" and described the numbers as a reflection of the "Biden economy", a reference to his predecessor as president.
However, Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said Americans were nervous and cutting back on discretionary spending as a result.
"They're worried prices will rise even higher and that household budgets, already feeling the impact of previous inflation, will be stretched beyond breaking point," she said.
"They're also nervous about the potential for job losses if the economy continues to stutter as businesses try and make sense of an evolving tariff environment."
McDonald's figures reflect the first two months of Donald Trump's presidency, with the reporting period ending just before his barrage of tariff announcements on 2 April.
Dubbed "Liberation Day", that broadside prompted further confusion among many firms and consumers.
Mr Kempczinski said: "Consumers today are grappling with uncertainty, but they can always count on McDonald's [...] for exceptional value".
"McDonald's has a 70-year legacy of innovation, leadership, and proven agility, all of which give us confidence in our ability to navigate even the toughest of market conditions and gain market share," he added.
Over the same three-month period to March, the slump in McDonald's US sales dragged its global like-for-like revenue down 1%, despite growing sales in Japan, Australia, and the Middle East.
Businesses have had a mix of reactions since Trump began revealing and enforcing his plans for tariffs, which are a tax payable by a person or firm buying a good from overseas.
This week, technology giant Intel said costs would rise and a recession was more likely because of Trump's tariffs.
Sportswear brand Adidas said they would lead to higher prices in the US for popular trainers including the Gazelle and Samba.
Meanwhile, delivery giant DHL paused deliveries worth more than $800 (£603) due to US trade policy before lifting them after negotiating "adjustments" to customs rules.
Trump and his allies have said the policies will help to bring more jobs to the US as firms base factories and operations the country to avoid the new taxes.
However, many companies and economists have said this will be difficult to achieve and will likely mean job losses and economic pain at least in the short term.

Although there are no official numbers due to this lack
of regulation, it is possible to picture the expansion of
bilingual schools based on research data and
publishing houses. There are also few projects in
public schools. This expansion may be understood
once the teaching of English in Brazil has become a
booming business and the belief that this language is
essential to a successful life is transmitted by the
media (Rajagopalan, 2005). It is necessary that (…)
researchers problematize and propose reflections on
people’s rights and duties involving their participation
in the economic, social, and political life of the
communities which they are part of and which they
may join. For this to be accomplished, there must be a
conscientious multilingual education and not just
teaching by means of a practice called “elite bilingual
education” reinforcing its “elite” nature. (…) We
observed that although heteroglossic views of
language have been an important notion discussed at
universities in order to rethink the teaching of language
and the type of bilingual education provided in Brazil,
these discussions do not reach the schools which
continue to adopt monolingual views of language in
their practices and policies.

Q3890988
Inglês
(…) In some cases, the interest in a prestigious
bilingualism arose from a desire by some countries to
benefit economically, politically, and culturally from the
straightforward participation in the global network that
has been built through the use of English (Gardner,
2012). On the other hand, it is also accomplished as
an answer to world multilingualism, generating the
possibility of participation in intercultural actions in
different languages and different cultural experiences
(García & Flores, 2012). Therefore, this means the
creation of a kind of education that, in a significant
way, not only includes apprentices but also opens
space for them to act and participate through various
language practices (García & Flores, 2012). With the
learning experience within a bilingual education
context, students may increase their cultural
awareness both in the culture(s) of origin, and in the
culture of the additional language, have a different way
of looking at things, build tolerance towards linguistic
and cultural groups, value human diversity, and
constitute themselves with hybrid identities (Canclini,
2011).
Read the excerpt above and decide if the information below is True (T) or False (F). Then choose the correct alternative below.
I. Some countries’ interest in English is mostly connected to political, cultural, and economic benefits as an attempt to be part of a larger international network.
II. The use of English worldwide is described as one of the strongest tools for the manipulation of soft power that has been developed through bilingual education in Brazil by the elite and against minorities.
III. Students’ agency, empowerment, and interculturality are some of the possible outcomes of bilingual education.
IV. Bilingual education is presented as strengthening students’ original cultural identity, even shielding students from letting in any changes or hybrid influences from Englishspeaking countries.

Brazil has always been a multilingual country, although
throughout its history it has systematically tried to get
rid of its linguistic and cultural diversity or veil it.
However, for the last two decades alone, we have
witnessed an ideological change that acknowledges
and stimulates Brazilian plurilingualism. In this
scenario, Liberali and Megale (2011) point out that
there are four Brazilian bilingual education proposals:
bilingual education with sign language, indigenous
bilingual education, bilingual education in multilingual
contexts, and elite or prestigious bilingual education
whose name was given due to the favorable financial
conditions of students who can attend these schools,
in them instruction occurs in two languages
simultaneously, most commonly English ad
Portuguese.

perfect Montauk night – setting the stage for a first kiss that, like so many of the most resonant moments in Celine Song’s
transcendent “Past Lives”, will ultimately be left to the imagination – Nora (Greta Lee) tells Arthur (John Magaro) about the
Korean concept of Yin-Yun, which suggests that people are destined to meet one another if their souls have overlapped a certain
number of times before. When Arthur asks Nora if she really believes in all that, the Seoul-born woman sitting across from him
invitingly replies that it’s just “something Korean people say to seduce someone”. Needless to say, it works.
But as this delicate yet crushingly beautiful film continues to ripple forward in time – the wet clay of Nora and John’s
flirtation hardening into a marriage in the span of a single cut – the very real life they create together can’t help but run parallel
to the imagined one that Nora seemed fated to share with the childhood sweetheart she left back in her birth country. She and
Hae Sung (“Leto” star Teo Yoo) haven’t seen each other in the flesh since they were in grade school, but the ties between them
have never entirely frayed apart.
On the contrary, they seem to knot together in unexpected ways every 12 years, as Hae Sung orbits back around to his
first crush with the cosmic regularity of a comet passing through the sky above. The closer he comes to making contact with Nora,
the more heart-stoppingly complicated her relationship with destiny becomes. And with each passing scene in this film – all of
them so hushed and sacrosanct that even their most uncertain moments feel as if they’re being repeated like an ancient prayer –
it grows easier to appreciate why Nora invoked In-Yun on that seismic Montauk night. Sure, maybe she really was just using it as a
pick-up line, knowing that it would give her (neurotically Jewish) future husband the green light that he needed to make a move.
But then again, what could possibly be more seductive to a person in this world than the promise of divine providence?

To enhance students’ reading comprehension, the teacher provided four pre-reading questions about the movie review:
● Have you ever heard of cultural concepts from other countries that explain relationships or encounters?
● How do movies or stories from other countries help us understand different cultural beliefs?
● In some cultures, people believe that past experiences or past lives influence the present. Have you encountered this idea in books, movies, or history?
● Do you think knowing about another culture’s beliefs can change the way you interpret a movie or book? Why or why not?
Based on the National Curricular Parameters (PCNs), this activity primarily aims to develop:
