Surrey might
start having communal dinning in restaurants. Restaurants are being encouraged to have more “long
table” dinners. It’s basically one long table where strangers sit beside each
other or across from each other. They want to start doing this because they
want strangers to interact and get to know each other. They want Vancouver to
be a more welcoming place and engaged city for residents and immigrants.
Some say it’s
a good thing. People think that it’s good because it will get people to talk
more and know more people, make new friends. Also people think that you will
have better manners. Ending
social isolation in Metro Vancouver is another reason why it’s good. People will have better socializing skills. This
long table idea will let people bond and talk to new people. Those are just
some of the reasons why it’s good.
Some say it’s
not such a good thing. Some people think that others would like to go with
people they know and want to talk to. Groups of people would probably want to
stay close together and just speak to each other. If people are doing business or
talking about personal things I don’t think they would be to fond of random strangers
listening in on their conversation. Or sometimes people maybe just want to be
alone and with different strangers sitting around them might bug them. Those are
reasons why it might not be the greatest idea.
My opinion
is that I don’t think I would like it. I wouldn’t because when I go to dinner I
like to sit with my family and spend time with them. I also wouldn’t want to
talk about personal things with random strangers .In pictures it seems like you
sit really close to people to and I like it when its spaced out and not so
stuffy. People go out for dinner because they want to spend time or talk to the
people that they go with. That’s why I wouldn’t be to fond of it.
This “long
table” idea is getting mixed reviews. Some like and some don’t. We will have to
wait and see what happens. Restaurants in Vancouver have started the long tables
maybe when they get more reviews on it surrey will decide.
I really like how you seperated your ideas with other peoples opinions and for your own opinion. Your paragraphs were very neatly organized and easy to follow up with. There were a few grammer mistakes which can be fixed easily and next time try to connect some short sentences together with conjunctions to make your them flow better. Otherwise, great job on your current events post! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Farisha I liked how you described your opionion clearly and the conclusion and introduction were in the right order.However, I wish you pickwed one opion at first a stick with it beacause it can get confusing as the reader reads because they do not know if you like the idea or not.Over all well donr Farisha.
ReplyDeleteHi Farisha, I like how you have paragraphs for both sides of the story and why the people think this is a good or bad idea. I also like that you have an introduction and a conclusion. Your grammar is a bit off and you could also connect your sentences so that they don't seem too cut off. Overall, I liked how you stated your opinion and the fact that you had multiple paragraphs, which makes it easier for the reader. Good job, Farisha.
