Write an article answering these questions and we will put it on our website!
Write your article:
The food I like!
There are many types of food that I like, but I like spicy food the best. It’s very great to taste
hot food. I seem be addicted to this type of food especially in the coldness of winter. Spicy
food makes me feel stronger and warmer. Frankly, I prefer eating out to eating at home
because food cooked in restaurants are normally more delicious than home-cooked food.
Furthermore, it is more relaxing to enjoy yummy food served by others, we don’t need to
prepare and cook at the same place like every day. Also, eating out is one of the best ways
to improve our relationship with others.

cooking dinner, so I put the parcel on the table in the sitting room. At 7 p.m. my mom came
home and asked me whether any parcel was sent to her today. I said “Yes” and walked
forward to the table and gave the parcel to her. She opened it and recognized that it was not
the camera ordered online by her last week. The one that she booked is Fujifilm X-T200
with 3.5 inch touch screen LCD, but this camera is Sony Alpha A600 without touching
function. My mom was a bit angry, she asked me why I hadn’t checked carefully before
receiving. I was very confused at that time. Luckily, my mom called the shop from which she
ordered last week and notified them about the problem. They said to my mom that they
would change it as soon as my mom turned it back to the shop at No 12 Ta Quang Buu
street. I felt really relieved when hearing that. And my mom said to me that I should check
everything carefully when receiving from other people. It was a good lesson for me.
