Unit: 4
Topic:

Cause and Effect Paragraph

 1st draft

Topic 1:
Nowadays, people are more and more inclined to eat out. One reason for this is to save time.
People often have busy jobs so they don't have much time for cooking. It should also be
stated said that eating out can make it easier for people to get to know each other. Because
meals out will last longer than meals at home, people can spend more time with family and
friends to talk to each other. In addition, eating out will have a variety of dishes, the space is
also comfortable. That will help them to discover many delicious and strange dishes, not
stereotyped as self-cooked, from which they prefer to eat at restaurants. In short, eating out
is very popular with everyone, especially young people.
