I have been studying English for ten years. I want to prove my English proficiency by taking tests of various kinds. I have taken the tests like GRE, GMAT and LSAT.

T－Transition:  first, because, also
 
I prefer having meals with my friends. First, because I like to talk with somebody while having meals. Like, I really like to talk with my friends about music. And I also think it is the golden opportunity for us to talk while we are eating, by doing this I can enjoy the food better. Also, I have a chance to share my point of view on the food we are eating. Finally, if I cook myself, it’s so boring to eat what I have cooked. I need to share the food I have made with my friends. This is why I am cooking.

T—Transition    First, because, Also, finally
 
    I prefer having meals alone. First, because I am really a person who likes to be left alone, especially when I am eating. I am not talkative, especially when I am having meals which means I have to concentrate on the food instead of things we are talking about. Another reason why I prefer having meals alone is that talking while eating is bad for our stomach. It will lead to indigestion if you often talk when you eat. Finally, if I eat alone I am not going to have any problems like other people’s terrible table manners. Let me give you one example, and I can’t stand this really. Somebody makes a lot of noise when they are eating or somebody even takes off their shoes when having meals. This really drives me crazy!
