Q1
I personally prefer to eat fast food. Some people may not agree with me because they might be concerned about the fact that fast food is not healthy because of low nutrition. However, I believe that the advantages of fast food are significant enough to outweigh any drawbacks. One thing that comes to my mind is that It is very fast to finish so it's very beneficial for me like a very busy person and also there are many convenience stores nearby so you can get that easily whenever you're hungry.
