Staycatios are better thar holidays abroad.




Today, there are more people who stay at home during their holidays than before. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages about this topic.


On the one hand, staycations have a very important advantage which is that you do not spend money. It is obvious that travelling abroad is more expensive than staying at home because you have to pay for the accomodation and the tickets. Moreover, you can tidy and clean your house during your free time if you do not have enough time when you are working.


On the other hand, when you spend your holidays abroad you can visit new places and meet people. What is more, you have the oportunity to practise foreign languages.


In conclusion, I prefer spending my holidays in other places since I think that is important to know new places.

Advantages and disadvantages of fast food.



People eat a lot of fast food, which does not have to be necessarily junk food. We consume fast food because of the
strees and lack of time. Eating fast food has got advantages and disadvantages.

First, there are several advantages related to fast food. This type of food use to be healthy and when we eat this
kind of food we save so much time. Moreover, when we go to a restaurant we do not have to cook and we can take the food
away for an affordable and economic price.

However, the food is not always healthy. For example, hamburger and pizza, which are very unhealthy.

In my opinion, a lot of people eat fast food, although it can be sometimes healthy.

"Online shopping is better than high street shopping"





Nowadays, more people than ever buy different things online. However I strongly disagree with this habit.


It is clear that buying online is suppse to be safe. Nevertheless, I think that you can be cheated on if you buy
something online. Moreover, there are can be problems with delivedy. For example, you may recive the item you have
bought really late. What is more, it is possible that you never recive the parcel.


Furthermore, I like trying clothes on when I go shopping. Of course, you can not try them on or check the quality of
the products when you shop online, so you do not really know if they are in a good condition.


In conclusion, I have never gone shopping online because I do not know if the products will arrived well.
