63、ordering meals online or calling the take-out restaurant for meals to cooking in person. The reasons are so follows. Its not surprising for them to do so. In the first place, as the pace of modern life is becoming faster and faster, people have less time to even cook one meal for themselves. What is
64、 more, the development of technology offers the smart phones and Internet more powerful functions, which leads to the increase of take-out service. Last but not least, all the people may not have an ability to cook, and sometimes the meals they cook are not as delicious as they buy. In my view, our
65、health is closely related to what we eat. The busier we are, the more attention we should pay to food. Therefore, I prefer to cook food at home and go on a balanced diet. (or: From my perspective, there is no denying that ordering meals has a pile of advantages. Not only does it save our time, but also make our life more convenient. So I have a preference for ordering meals online.)版权所有：高考资源网()
