Supporting idea one

Example Answer Examples
One of the most interesting things that I have
learned is about Korean eating customs. When
dining in Korea, it’s common place to share food.
For example, at a restaurant Koreans usually
order a large amount of food that is shared
among all guests rather than each person
ordering their own dish, which is typical in
Western countries. Eating the Korean way
means eating from the same bowl since sharing
is a big part of their culture.
