There is a debating that whether it is good for people to eat at food stands orrestaurants or to prepare and eat at home. As far I am concerned, I prefereating at food stands or restaurants despite some trivial flaws.

The main reason is that it is comfortable to eat at food stands or restaurants. People may sometimes feel tired and they may notwant to cook at home. In the evening, for example, the employees have beenworking for the whole day and mostly the only thing they want to do is tositting in front of the table and having dinner. However, if they find thatthey have to cook, sometimes a totally boring matter, they will be in lowspirits. In contrast, if they go to the nearby restaurant and have dinner, evensome not costly food, they will feel comfortable, or at least than that cookedat home.

Moreover, people may have a delicious dinner outside. In most cases, people arenot always good at cooking. Admittedly if someone really wants to improve theirability of that, he or she has to follow a cook book to go with the steps whichis a long and boring process. However, at food stands or restaurants, the cookare those who of great experience and they know how to cook a good meal whiledo not spend a lot money and time. Thus, if people want to have a tasty dinner, theycan consider the surrounding food stands or restaurants.

However, we should not overstate the merits while ignoring some disadvantages.People can not meet their family if they eat outside. Though sometimes peoplecan go to have dinner with the whole family, they do not always can do so. Forexample, if one has a child studying at school, at the dinner time, he can notstay long at a food stands waiting for the child, which on the other hand canhappen at home. Consequently, he has to face the situation of eating alone,though environment may be good. The time of the opening of the restaurants islimited. If someone has a habit of eating at night, he can not go to the foodstands or restaurants except the bar. If he wantsto eat outside, he might as well wait.

In the final analysis, after consideringvarious merits and limitations, I prefer eating outside because of theconvenience situation and the delicious food while trying my best to avoidthese flaws mentioned above.

口语:
Choose one resource that is disappearing and explain why it needs to be saved.Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
I think the undeveloped areas should be saved where the native people live.
First, it is the native people’s right to save their own land.
These people grow up there and have their own culture.
Thus they have the right to determine whether they should live in their own wayor live in the modern way.
Second, there are a lot of things that we have not investigated and mostlyignored in those areas.
In the United States,for example, Native Americans own a great deal of knowledge in their land we donot know. Like history and culture.

The main reason is that it is comfortable to eat at food stands or restaurants.（主题句突出，中心词和论点突出。好） People may sometimes feel tired and they may not want to cook at home. In the evening, for example, the employees have been working for the whole day and mostly the only thing they want to do is to sitting in front of the table and having dinner. However, if they find that they have to cook, sometimes a totally boring matter, they will be in low spirits. In contrast, if they go to the nearby restaurant and have dinner, even some not costly food, they will feel comfortable, or at least than that cooked at home.这一段写的很好啊，例子具体详细外加对比，很有逻辑性。

In the final analysis,(这个短语很少有人用呢，很新颖，不错。) after considering various merits and limitations, I prefer eating outside because of the convenience situation and the delicious food while trying my best to avoid these flaws mentioned above.

逻辑上，第一个理由用了因果，第二个理由用了举例，很好。简洁清楚。。
