2. What do you usually order for the starter, main course, dessert, and drink. (Include a picture for each thing.)

Example:

My favorite restaurant is called "Chili's" I usually go there about twice a month with my family. It is in Tiger City on the second floor. The kind of food there is called "Tex-Mex". It's really delicious.

For the starter, we will usually order a Southwestern Eggrolls.

Then for the main course, I like to order the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Sandwich.

For the dessert, we like to order a Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie to share. 

I always order an iced tea to drink with my meal.

I really love Chili's because I think the food is great, and the restaurant is big and comfortable. The service is always very good, and it reminds me of the restaurants we usually go to when we are in California.

My Favorite Movie Theater

https://goo.gl/maps/viPh5Q5RmEw

My favorite movie theater in Taichung is "Showtime Plaza".  It is near the train station inside a shopping mall. I like this movie theater for three reasons. First, it is in a convenient location. Second, there are a lot of things to do in the shopping mall. Lastly, it is new and clean.

Showtime Plaza is very convenient because it is near the train station. There are many buses that stop there, and it's not in a high traffic area.

Showtime Plaza is in shopping mall, so there are a lot of shops and restaurants to go to either before or after the movie.

Showtime Plaza was just recently built, so the theaters are big with nice seats, and everything is new and clean. It's a great place to watch movies because they always play the latest movies.
