One of the favorite foods in the United States is the hamburger, a kind of flat round bread with

fine-cut beef in between. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant. At fast food

restaurants, people order their food, wait a few minutes to get it over the counter, and carry it to their

tables themselves. People also take their food out of the restaurant and eat it in their cars or in their

homes. At some fast food restaurants, people can order their food, pay for it and pick it up without

leaving their cars.

There are many kinds of fast food restaurants in the United States. Most of the restaurants sell

hamburgers or other popular foods among Americans. In addition, there are many fast food restaurants

that

serve

Chinese

food,

Italian

food,

chicken,

seafood

and

ice-cream.

The

idea

of

a

fast

food

restaurant is so popular that nearly every kind of food can be found.

Fast food restaurants are popular because they show the American way of life. First, they are not

formal restaurants. People wear any type of dress when they go to a fast food place. Second, they are

fast. People who are busy do not want to spend time preparing their food or waiting while someone

else prepares it. In fast food restaurants the food is usually ready before the customer even orders it.

Finally , most food in a fast food restaurant is not expensive. Therefore, people can often eat at a fast

food restaurant without spending too much money, while they may not be able to go to more

expensive restaurants very often.

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The ad. in the paper

said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and

4:00.

Since

I

work

from

9

o'clock

to

5:30,

the

only

time

I

could

go

to

the

theater

was

during

my

45-minute

lunch

break.

Unluckily,

the

theatre

is

on

the

other

side

of

the

town,

and

the

bus

service

between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round

trip in 45 minutes.

Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one

come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I gave up and went back to

the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck

changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there,

however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in

line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and

headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was

not cheap, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but

it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in

line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
