Task 1:
You should spend about 20 minhutes on this task.
You have just received an email from a manager of the restaurant after celebrating
a birthday party there. In his email, he asked you some relevant questions:
Are you satisfied with food and drink which the restaurant served?
Are you fond of the service and atmosphere at the restaurant?
If there are any suggestions, please tell the restaurant to improve and surmount?
Write a letter to answer the restaurant's manager.
You should write at least 120 words.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing this letter to give my feedback on your
restaurant while celebrating a birthday party.
Firstly, I was very satisfied with the food and drinks served. The dishes were fresh,
delicious, and well-prepared, especially the seafood platter, which was a highlight of the
evening. The drinks were also refreshing and complemented the meal perfectly.
Secondly, the service and atmosphere at the restaurant were excellent. The staff was
attentive, polite, and professional, ensuring that all our needs were met. The ambiance
was cozy and well-decorated, creating a pleasant and enjoyable environment for our
celebration.
However, I would like to suggest a small improvement. The waiting time for some dishes
was a bit long, so perhaps improving the serving speed would make the dining experience
even better.
Overall, we had an amazing time and truly appreciated the effort your team put into
making our event special. We look forward to visiting your restaurant again in the future.
Yours faithfully,
Alice
Task 2:

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Food delivery services have been increasingly become popular in many countries.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
You should write at least 250 words.
In recent years, food delivery services have become increasingly popular in both
developed and developing countries. While these services provide several benefits, they
also come with certain drawbacks that should be considered. This essay will illustrate
both positive and negative impacts of this development.
On the one hand, it cannot be denied that there exist numerous benefits of food delivery
services. One of the primary ones is that they offer convenience and save time, which is
helpful for people with busy schedules or those who do not enjoy cooking. Thanks to
these services, they can easily order their favorite food with just a few clicks on phones
and have the meals delivered to their house without having to go out. Moreover, food
delivery services also provide people with a wide range of options that may not be
available in some areas, which allows consumers to enjoy different dishes and explore
new flavors. Another advantage worth mentioning is that they create job opportunities for
many people since there will be an increasing need for delivery men and restaurant
workers when these services grow. Additionally, the development of food delivery
platforms can help local restaurants reach a broader customer base and give them a
chance to thrive, contributing to the national economy.
On the flip side, food delivery services also have some downsides. One of the major
concerns is their impact on the environment. The delivery process often involves
packaging such as plastic bags or bottles, which lead to the increase in the amount of
waste. Besides, delivery vehicles also contribute to traffic congestion and air pollution,
especially in densely populated areas. Another negative point is that the physical health
of consumers will suffer as many of the meals available through these services are fast
food or may be high in unhealthy fats, sugars and salt. Therefore, regularly consuming
these foods can lead to poor eating habits or some health issues such as obesity and heart
disease.
In conclusion, while food delivery services offer convenience and economic benefits,
they also have potential impacts on people’s health and the environment. In my opinion,
it is essential to use these services mindfully and consider their long-term effects.

 Cause disease
Well, I would like to talk about my topic. It is about Harmful effects of fast food.
Fast food is harmful for your health.
The first point is gaining weight. Fast food is high in calories. When people eat too much
fast food, they consume more calories than they burn, leading to weight gain.
The second point is lack of nutrition. Most fast food meals contain a lot of unhealthy
ingredients but lack essential nutrients like vitamins, fiber, and protein. For example,
eating too much fast food instead of fresh vegetables and fruits can make people weak
and unhealthy. It may also lead to poor growth in children.
The third point is causing diseases. Fast food is often high in salt, sugar, and unhealthy
fats, which can lead to serious diseases. For instance, eating too much fast food can
increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
In my opinion, fast food can also affect mental health. Studies show that people who eat
too much junk food may feel tired and depressed.
To sum up, Fast food is harmful for your health.

Question:
[Link] do people in your country prefer: traditional food or Western food?
In my country, most people still prefer traditional food because it is healthier, more
balanced, and full of flavors. Traditional dishes are usually cooked with fresh ingredients
and less oil compared to Western fast food.
2. Should fast food be banned at school and why?
Yes, I think fast food should be banned at school because it is unhealthy for children. Fast
food contains too much fat, sugar, and salt, which can cause obesity and other health
problems. Instead of eating fast food, students should have access to fresh, nutritious
meals that help them grow properly and stay healthy.
3. What should we do to raise children’s awareness of the bad effects of fast food?
To raise children’s awareness, we should educate them about the negative effects of fast
food in school and at home. Schools can organize nutrition classes or fun activities that
teach students about healthy eating. Parents should also set a good example by preparing
home-cooked meals and limiting fast food.
