Subject: eating out
…Yesterday was a special day for us as we celebrated Dad’s birthday at a restaurant. It was a great family gathering! How often do you eat out? What do you usually order when you go out for a meal? Why do you think people enjoy eating out?
…By the way, I’m attending a culinary school online. Cooking has become a real passion for me!…

Hi Betty,
Thanks for your message! Celebrating Dad’s birthday sounds like a wonderful time!
I’m happy to answer your questions. Honestly, I don’t eat out very often, just once or twice a month. When I do, I like trying things I don’t make at home, like sushi or a juicy steak. As for why people enjoy eating out, I think it’s a chance to try new dishes and flavours, hang out with friends or family, and take a break from all the cooking and cleaning routine.
I’m curious about the culinary school you’re attending. What kind of cooking courses do they offer? How much is the tuition fee? What does the fee cover?
That’s all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.
All the best,
Ann
