Firstly, it is convenient. This is because fast food helps people save
time. For instance, when people eat fast food, they do not have to

cook, go to the market, wash dishes and so on. Therefore, fast food is
very suitable for busy people. Secondly, it is delicious and cheap. To

ON THE OTHER HAND, The biggest drawback of fast food is that it
VS

is not good for physical health. This is due to the fact that fast food
contains oil, salt, and sugar. For example, when people eat fast food
regularly, they might increase their weight easily. Therefore, it can
damage humans’ health. Secondly, it is undeniable that eating junk
food in the long run can make people waste a huge amount of money.

My dad gave it to me. This is because he knew that I really love
animals. I received her on my 18th birthday.
It is not difficult to take care of a dog because my puppy goes to sleep
on time. Moreover, she often goes potty at the toilet.
I spend 3 hours a day playing with my puppy. This is due to the fact
that I feel relaxed after a hard-working day. To be more specific, I
often go for a walk with her at the park in the afternoon.
