My topic: Which is better: Eating out, or staying in and cooking at home?Going out to eat is great because you don’t have to put in as much work as you do when you are at home (_____________________). There are lots of places to go out to eat; there is traditional fast food joints and classy sit down restaurants all throughout Battle Creek. (__________________________). One of the best places to eat out is Red Lobster. You are guaranteed great sea food without having to worry about how to cook it, or how to season it at home (________________________). If you were to cook seafood at home, you would have to put in a lot of work to boil the water, and make sure the food is properly cooked, so you don’t get sick (____________________________). Cooking at home is a lot of work, which makes eating out a better option (_____________________).
