四、书面表达
We know that some of our classmates do not like eating lunch at school because the food isn’t delicious. They often go out of school to buy something they like. But I’m afraid some of the food outside isn’t healthy and clean enough. Some food is bad for our health. In addition，going out for lunch costs too much.
In my opinion，if our school wants more students to be back and enjoy lunch in the dinner hall，the cooks should make the food more delicious，and the school should offer us a larger choice of food as well.
