                                                SAMPLE 2.      

I want to compare and contrast these two pictures.

No doubt, there are different places to eat out because in our hectic life people have no time for cooking, and eating out is convenient and gives a chance to relax and save time.

The first picture shows a young couple in an expensive restaurant. Maybe they are dating or celebrating their first wedding anniversary. In the second picture we can see a group of youngsters, enjoying their meals together. I suppose they may be students, having some lunch during a break at the university.

These pictures have some  things in common. First of all, they show young people who are having a good time together and all of them seem to be relaxed and happy. Besides, in both pictures we see the places popular with young people who are dating. Definitely, all the young people are enjoying their meals and the atmosphere of the place.

However, there are also some differences between these pictures. The main difference is that in the first picture the young couple is dating in a cosy restaurant serving maybe national cuisine, which is rather expensive while in the second picture the young people are in a fast food restaurant where the food is of reasonable price but it is not very healthy. One more difference is that in the first picture the young people are wearing formal clothes because of a dress code in such places. Unlike them, the youngsters in the second picture are wearing casual clothes such as jeans and T-shirts which is typical of less formal occasions. 

• As for me , I would prefer to eat out at a fast- food restaurant because, first of all, my friends  and I can afford the price of the food there .What is more, it is not necessary to book the table in advance to enjoy meals and have a nice meeting with friends.
• All in all, choosing the place for eating out depends on one’s individual preferences and finances.
