Q: Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

A: I like to eat at home, preparing food myself. This is because my stomach is not strong enough to hold heavy stuff at restaurants. When I lived in the U.S. ten years ago, I often go the restaurants for dinner. As those restaurants did not have many options to eat, I alternatively ate beef, chicken and fish. And finally I got sick probably because I kept on eating oily, heavy food every day. After that, I changed my style of diet, trying to cook myself as much as possible. I often boiled vegetables, without using too much oil. Then I got much better myself. From this experience, now I prefer to prepare food myself and eat at home with my family.
