L2: Go to the restaurant
My dad drove me to a Chinese restaurant and my mom was sitting in there waiting for us.
In Sunday, there were many people in Chinese restaurants and few empty seats. There are plenty of dishes in the Chinese restaurant, fish, meat and a variety of seafood and greens.
Chinese food color is beautiful, taste fragrant, also good-looking and delicious. We sat down, asked for tea, then ordered three Levin soup and ordered fried rice with eggs. The food tasted great, and we all ate very full.
The meal cost more than 20 dollars. Dad paid the money and we happily left the restaurant.
