COOKING AT HOME REGULARLY VERSUS SAVING TIME WITH TAKE--OUT


      Cooking at home regularly is very good because people eat real food made with love on their own house, also people cook what they want and they add what they like, but is also good when people order from a restaurant because they save time, they just order what they want they will have the chance to try different types of food and they can spend the rest of the day doing something else.
  
     I strongly think that is better to cook at home regularly because this will make us have a good health. The food that we made at home is made by us or by someone in the family, so we know that is something that is going to be fresh and that is cook the right way. This will make people be healthier and live longer. Also cooking at home make people save money. I also understand the once in a while everybody likes to eat in restaurants which is also good because we try something new but is different because we are not eating from restaurants everyday so if the food is not fresh is not going to affect as much. 

         When people order from a restaurant they save a lot of time because they don't have to waste time cooking and they can spend their time doing something more important. The bad thing is that they spend more money because they have to buy food everyday, and also people don't know if the food is fresh, or healthy, because is made in a restaurant and they don't know what is inside the food. For example when i came to New York i used to lived by myself i did not know how to cook, so i had to buy food from a restaurant every day.After six months of eating from restaurants every day i got a lot of weight and i start having problems with my cholesterol. I had to diet for a while, but it was hard because i did not know if the food that i was going to eat was cook with a lot of grease. Now the my mother lives with me she cooks every day and i am not taking more medication for my cholesterol i lost a lot of weigh and i am saving a lot of money. 

      In conclusion its fun to eat from restaurant because we have the choice to try something new everyday but we also need to think on our health and on saving money but we can do it once in a while like for a special occasion , but if we are thinking on our regularly days is better to cook at home this way we will all live longer with good health and more money.

  1. Hi, I'm Hamraj Rooplall from Dr. Justin Rogers- Cooper's Seminar in Teaching Writing ENG 220 and I'm writing because this course provide me with lots of knowledge to help student who need guidance during the writing process of an essay or any pieces of writing. Thank you for letting me post on your blog.

    Firstly, I will like to say great job on your idea about cooking at home regularly make us have a good health... I agree that's a significant idea, and a good way to focus your response. I also like how you included your family who made the food and it will make people healthier.

    I think you could develop some of your response, however, by stating a few name of your family so that we can know who exactly is a good cooker. For example, who are you referring to your mother, older sister, aunty and etc? I also believe that you should state some of the healthy foods that your family cooks at home, and how it will benefits you. For example, my mother is a great cooker and she love to cook brown rice and chicken. Brown rice makes us healthy because it is rich in Manganese, promotes weight loss and contains whole grains. Chicken also make us health because it provides us with high protein.

    I notice that you only have (3) short paragraphs and one long paragraph. Perhaps you could bring in a personal story about a friend or family to support you short paragraphs.

    Your third paragraph is perfect, have good ideas and example. I also wonder what you meant by “you are saving a lot of money”. Can you tell us how much money you are saving since your mother lives with you?

    Thanks again for letting me posting this. I have learned a lot on your reading. Good luck!

  2. Hello. My Name is Valbona Lajcaj, and I am a student In Dr. Justin Rogers-Cooper, Seminar in Teaching Writing. I am writing because I would like to give you more ideas on how to expand your piece of writing. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment, it is greatly appreciated.

    I want to start off by saying that I absolutely love the topic you have chosen to write about! It is a very debatable topic and interesting one to learn about too. It is true that cooking at home is better then going out to get food because you are saving money and it is fresh. Now who wouldn't want to eat food that was freshly made! So i totally agree with you on that.
    I also very much like when you include an example after your sentence. In paragraph three you can get more into depth and explain what types of foods you were eating and the restaurants you were eating at. When you say you had to diet for a while, what do you mean by that? What was your diet plan, if you had one? Including more details would make your story more interesting.
    For your conclusion, restate why it is fun to eat outside rather then eating at home in a more short sentence. Overall, I enjoyed reading this blog and agree very much with you that eating at home is better then eating outside! Thank you again very much for allowing me to post on your blog.
