Examples
Eating in the Student Center is a pleasant experience. First the food is
excellent. It is well prepared, it tastes delicious, and there are many
different kinds of food like hamburgers, tacos, pizza, and chicken.
Moreover, each person serves his or herself, selecting just what he or
she wants. Second, the environment in the Student Center is positive.
Many happy young people are talking and laughing. However, the
atmosphere is still calm; it’s possible to study and do homework. Also
there are many friendly people in the Student Center. Even the
strangers say, “Hi!” and offer to share their tables. When that happens,
people are included in conversation and friendships often follow. For
these reasons it is nice to go to the student center cafeteria once in a
while to enjoy the eating, studying, and talking with new people.
