Dear Daisy,

I am very fantastic to get your email. How are things going on? I wish everything is
going well with you in London. I am apologizing for not writing to you for so long.
However, I have been so busy these days. I have been working hard for the coming
exam.

Thank you for sending the photos to me. I adore them because they remind me of the
wonderful time we had together in Ha Long Bay. I believe you had a great time here
because of the breathtaking scenery.

As you are probably aware, I had some issues at Tan Son Nhat airport because my
flight was delayed due to weather issues.

In this spring, I can visit my aunt and uncle in Hanoi. What about a trip to Hanoi,
Vietnam's capital, next summer?

Could you please let me know when you have time and what you think of my plan? I
eagerly anticipate hearing from you. Please contact me as soon as possible.

Love,

Everyone these days is extremely busy. In most modern families, both parents work and
do not have time to prepare nutritious meals at home. These people prefer fast food that
can be purchased at a store because it saves them time. Furthermore, packaged meals
are less expensive than traditional home-cooked meals. Even better, they come in a
variety of flavors and flavors. Unfortunately, the only advantage of ready meals is
convenience.
On the other hand, several drawbacks are bought. First and foremost, there is a failure
to ensure nutrition and food safety. You have no idea where it comes from or how it is
processed or preserved. Regular consumption of readily available food causes a variety
of issues in users. Second, we have high functional and sub-quality components that can
cause diseases such as cancer and management issues. Furthermore, fast food is high in
calories and low in nutrients. If consumed on a regular basis, it will cause digestive,
urinary tract, and menstrual problems. It is also addictive, making people want to
consume it over and over again. Children who eat too much fast food, for example, will
become obese if their weight is not monitored.

In conclusion, Fast food brings both benefits and drawbacks. You should use us
