model answer:
Trang 2Over the past 30 years, the average family has dramatically increased the number of meals that they eat at restaurants The percentage of the family's food budget spent on restaurant meals steadily climbed Just 10 percent of the food budget was spent on restaurant meals in 1970, and 15 percent in 1980 That percentage more than doubled in
1990, to 35 percent, and rose again in 2000 to 50 percent
Where families eat their restaurant meals also changed during that 30-year period In
1970, families ate the same number of meals at fast food and sit-down restaurants In
1980, fam�ilies ate slightly more frequently at sit-down restaurants However, since
1990, fast food restaurants serve more meals to the families than do the sit-down
restaurants Most of the restaurant meals from 2000 were eaten at fast food restaurants If this pattern continues, eventually the number of meals that families eat at fast food restaurants could double the number of meals they eat at sit-down restaurants
