(2) McDonald’s is my favorite fast food restaurant for a number of reasons. (3) First of all, it is convenient. (4) For example, it takes only five to ten minutes to order, and I can eat it there if I finish work late and I’m tired. (5)Therefore, I don’t have to cook, nor wash up. (6) I usually wash up using Fairy because it’s the best at cleaning my dishes. (7) An additional reason that I like McDonald’s is that it is cheap. (8) For instance, a meal only costs around 18 Riyal. (9) Also, if I only want a burger, it costs less than 10 Riyal. (10) ___________that I like McDonald’s is that for some reason the staff always speaks English. (11) If I’m in Korea, Ireland or Saudi Arabia, all I have to do is say “Number 6”, and the staff automatically knows that a number 6 is a Big Tasty meal. (12) That brings me to the main reason behind my love of McDonald’s. (13) As its name suggests, the Big Tasty is pleasant fodder.
